Смысл текста песни "Just Begun" исполнителя "Reflection Eternal"

[Intro:]

[The Singers Unlimited:]

We've only just begun.

[Talib Kweli:]

Oh, yes, indeed.

I like this, I like this.

Ayo, Hi-Tek, do me a favor, man, speed it up a lil bit.

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

From the intro, you know I'm so influential

'Cause I'm glowin' like a candle,

The focus is so essential, dawg, what you tryna get into?

I steady the flow, ready to blow like snotty tissue,

They snitchin' like Donnie Brasco, I'm countin' like Monte Cristo.

The ghetto full of betrayal like Iago and Othello,

Your fellow neighbor will slay you, they'll smoke you like cigarillos,

Police want that info, they'll grill 'em like Portobellos,

I'm murderin' instrumentals

'Cause I rap with the conscience of villains, killers and monsters,

So revealin' and honest,

I'm still fulfillin' the promise,

So nice, I kill 'em with kindness,

Hittin' like Muhammad Ali, you more like Tatyana,

All this is probably karma, you dishonored the father.

Whether it's God Almighty, or the almighty dollar,

We follow the prophets like Islamics or the Dalai Lama,

Your bullet points so hollow they could prolly pierce body armor,

Look in the scope, my people still a target.

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

Smile on my face, tears of a sad clown,

Feelin' out of place as I whistle the cab down.

"If I tip extra, can I huff a cig?"

Blow my smoke out the window, droppin' ashes on the bridge, ugh.

I'm in New York now, like Akeem and Semmi was,

Tryna get the lobby door open from a semi-buzz,

I just wanna go to the slum

And throw my money on the floor like the Notorious B.U.M., ugh.

Build a home, teach a class, start a revolution,

Free the mind, heal the body, talkin' evolution,

This that Black Elohim Anunnaki rap,

That Farrakhan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Qaddafi rap.

I dedicate this to my niggas in New Orleans

Rockin' black and gold stockin' caps, and fleur-de-lis Shockey hats,

I'm in the courtroom screamin' "Who dat?!" on the devil,

Servin' gumbo with a shovel, dawg, I'm on another level,

Me and Kweli come together like two pieces of metal,

We magnetizin' the ghetto.

[Verse 3: J. Cole]

Yeah, now, here's the memo:

I'm a rebel without a cause, a bezel without no flaws,

And shawty, you straight, but you look way better without no drawers.

Let's sweat out this alcohol, (Yeah) bet I'm about to ball,

And never let up, look how I just crept up without applause,

Fed up with all the frauds and left y'all without a job,

The center of attention, this is clever, I'm Pau Gasol.

Really, though, I'm LeBron, really don't got my mind

On this new school of rappers, I will really go Columbine, (Uh-huh)

And throw up the diamond sign, (Uh-huh)

Boy, you know I'ma shine, (Uh-huh)

Flow is in Ramadan (Uh-huh)

'Cause couple years ago, the game had they pajamas on, (Yeah)

But now they on my dick, man, I should throw a condom on,

Ayy, 'cause a nigga comin' raw like I ain't got one on,

And I ain't stoppin' nor coppin' no pleas,

I just lock and load, squeeze,

Dawg, I'm on a higher level, I'm on top of nosebleeds. (Damn)

Niggas say they sick, but when they rock, they don't sneeze,

Like the nigga on the block wavin' his Glock, but won't squeeze,

Please... Hey!

[Verse 4: Mos Def]

Look, hold your applause until the ceremony end,

Yours truly, truly blessed, yet again a noble pla-anted,

Supermagic, abracadabra kid,

Mysterious master djinn, blacker pen,

Arrowhead with the long-barrel stem, and his apparel fresh.

Harbor lights shinin' out the black power grid,

With the Black Power grip, and pure power don't power trip,

Push the cellar ceiling up and make the tower tip,

The Gladwell point and Babylon Palace,

All about nothing, where it's all about the dollar,

And mansions on the fault line of a shaky market,

The Devil at the dance hall thirsty for a partner,

Get off him, there is not a parcel or a portion,

Or a measure of a fortune more awesome, gorgeous.

The Funky Four Horsemen and one more

With Hi-Tek on the score, once more, of course.

You're welcome, thanks,

Appreciation for your participation,

Special dedication,

Celebration, bitches!
