[Intro: Talib Kweli]

Yes! Welcome to the wonderful sounds of Talib Kweli

Ladies...


[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

I got you in the mood, for an interlude

Raw like in the nude, I hope this ain't considered rude

But let's stop talkin, cause it's feelin like an interview

I know you into me, so, let me get into you

I'm always in the mood for laughin and lovin

And rappin and fuckin', and passin' the dutch and relaxin'

And puffin' and hittin' and duckin', the rippin production

These kittens ain't muffins, just because we stuff 'em in the oven

My words is drippin off the tongue like the wax from a candle wick

Ill the way I lay down the rap, they can't handle it

Cats all sappy like romantic flicks, dude, get a clue

Like Colonel Mustard in the study with a candlestick

They holdin hands with these dudes like they goin steady, but

One glimpse and I know they're ready, you already know

Slipped her a note like, 'you ready to go?'

We make a getaway plan and we head for the do'!


[Hook: Talib Kweli (Kanye West)]

I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars

Navigate through the truly bizarre

Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life

And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight

I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars (uh, uh)

Navigate through the truly bizarre (Yeezy, uh-uh)

Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life

And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight (Woo!)


[Verse 2: Kanye West]

You messin up my mo', my whole mood, told you, oh

Lose, eat crews like crews like soul food

The only producer that feel like "fuck rappers!"

Only backpacker with a chip like hackers

Only Michael Richardson, only much blacker

So if he say nigga, then I'ma say...

Is this a Ritz? Carlton? Dress like, fresh, like

Just like, I'm the shit

Uh, you ain't figured out what I'm about yet

Always rockin that "this ain't out yet," but this ain't 'bout that

From a city where niggas plug like outlets

Far as music go, yo, it ain't no outlets, so, when I go out

Niggas always out to get me in the studio

And I ain't in the mood to flow, I'm with my girl

And I'm tryin to hit the movies yo, and they tryna act stupid, oh!

In the club with Silicone Suzie

What happened to real girls like Rudy?

With real titties like Tootie

This girl got a silicon booty!

And got the nerve to act moody!

Now I ain't tryin to judge like Judy

But bitch you a man, you can't fool me!

Act like 50, throw her in a pool, G!


[Hook: Talib Kweli]

I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars

Navigate through the truly bizarre

Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life

And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight

I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars

Navigate through the truly bizarre

Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life

And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
