Talib Kweli - Last Ones lyrics

All my rap friends went crazy I'm the last one left These haters prayin' they can celebrate the last one's d**h None of them n***as in my cla** that couldn't pa** one test But that's what happens when you rappin' on a [?] depth I never chat sh** The flow bat-sh**, it's major league Major Keys like Khaled (it's accurate) Recognize a dime when you pa** it With this weapon I's rhymin', I'm an a**a**in Put nine minutes to the casket, you ba*tards Stare in the abyss and the Leviathan (oh yea) You say a prayer for the dying men Looking for that pleasure but you findin' sin Can't be scared to take a loss if you tryin' to win Recognize greatness, tenacious Gracious, mark of design, the new Matrix I can make Dr. Strange brain look basic MCs on the dinner menu and I ain't ate sh** Who's the entree?
