Talib Kweli - The Magic Hour lyrics

Last one to fall asleep First one to wake up All nighters 6:20 in AM It’s magic hour Doing it til the sunrise I live my life in the sunshine It was as beautiful as Hawaiian beaches Usually it’s the students to be the truest teachers So gorgeous, this the magic hour, yeah Start of a new day, it’s a new way Get with the new way Uh, back to the future like a Delorean Documenting the struggle I’m huddling with historians Making a way back to Brooklyn like we the warriors Told you this man’s story bordering on vainglorious Heading to Cali for an education of Sonny Carson And the need to police resurrection of Johnnie Cochran Never accepted the rejection ’cause failure never an option That’s the gospel like Mahalia I’m a legend, I’ve been a problem They still asleep in this Dormez-vous like Frere Jacques Pardon my french like Remy Martin and Henny bottles The chances of survival more shallow than winning lotto The liquor that they swallow got them rattled Playing Benny Blanco bravado Look at ’em fronting for these models La mujeres mulattos on the floor with the wobble wobble Sipping moscato while selling themselves for follows This is intense like a Pentecostal revival I’m in these streets like potholes Where the guns make Illinois to Chicago Bap bap bap like staccato I spit it like I just finished gargling the velocity marvelous Get your goggles we hit it at full throttle I’m praying for a better tomorrow My candle is burning slow as cubanos I’m seeing red like Ricky Ricardo They tried to stop my product like an embargo But see they wallow in their sorrows So they promises is empty and hollow, mahalo Uh, live my life in the sunshine Bust rhymes beautiful as the sunrise Plus side but the orchestra like I’m Sun Ra Got with alchemist like a wonder twin then we combine The face of God got the finest features And she listening if you tryna reach her High Valyrian rap looking for my Khaleesi The ones that Ebro call minor league is the real fire breathers Now let me teach you how to train your dragon First rule they can’t be tamed cause they ain’t gon’ have it It ain’t no magic just actual facts and logic here Hip hop will flourish with nourishment and the proper care
