Back Again (DJ Critical Hype Blend) Lyrics


Yes, original rhythm, the drum beater
Hi-Tek in the house, Kweli in the house, yoNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
Yeah, New York to California
The way we do it is fluid just like waterNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
Life got a way of sneaking up on you
The way we do it is fluid just like waterCome on, beat on the drum like bang-bang
And tryna maintain the same frame of mind
While the game change
I know you sick of the same thing, we're different so
Stop sticking the needle up in the same vein
The definition of insane, my theory is Big Bang
We hunting for big game, the quick changeover
Got the rappers confused, Tek back on the board
Kweli is back in the booth, let's goNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again

You can like rap again
You can say that again, wordNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again
You can like rap again
You can say that again
You can say that again
It's independent hustle, it got me on my grind
I flex my pen like a muscle and write a battle rhyme
I got to exercise, I got to get the ghosts out
I got to testify, the legend never dieI'm connected to the struggle, got a little light
And this little light of mine I'm 'bout to let it shine
I get better with time, so right when you about to say
Something real slick you like never mindI stay grounded like airplanes that never fly
I still never come down, I'm forever high
My addiction is American as Devil's Pie
We stay where the snitches live and the rebels dieMen and women might try, numbers never lie
But I'm too fluid, there's no unit that I'm measured by
The nighttime when the ghetto come alive
And the artificial die like Yellow No. 5No matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again
You can like rap again
You can say that again, wordNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again
You can like rap again
You can say that againDon't it sound African how the voice and the track just blend
The hands get to clapping and the feet get to tapping and
The power I'm tapping into, it never was accidental
In fact, what a rap ascension to what make hip hop so special
You check my Hip Hop credentials, I'm on like I'm rap's potentialIt's what I've been sent to do, the task is monumental
These wack emcees make me laugh like Comedy Central
Rappers be acting gassed, it's really not a big issue
They'll lose their bodily tissue, cause something hot just hit you
Just for waving off the nigga tryna politic with youHe's like I gotta get him to try to politic with him
Man, he tried to front
That's what he want when these shots hit him
Bet you he change his mindBetter learn how to read the danger signs
Try to take my spot, get a number, wait in line
Try to skip, no, get to the back again
Yeah, we back again, you can like rap again, wordNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again
You can like rap again
You can say that again, wordNo matter where you're from
I will always be in your corner
That's right, we back again
You can like rap again
You can say that again

Talib Kweli Greene (born October 3, 1975 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American MC known as one of the most prominent rappers in underground hip-hop, and is critically acclaimed frequently, despite not being commercially successful. Kweli first gained recognition through Black Star, a collaboration with fellow MC Mos Def. He released his solo debut album Quality in 2002 and has since released 2004's The Beautiful Struggle, 2005's mixtape album Right About Now, 2007's Eardrum and 2011's Gutter Rainbows. He has also released two albums with Hi-Tek under the name Reflection Eternal and a collaboration album with Madlib in 2007 plus two albums with Res under the name Idle Warship.

His name is Arabic, meaning 'the seeker' or 'student of truth and knowledge'. His parents were both college professors: his mother an English professor, his father a sociology professor. As a youth, he was drawn to Afrocentric rappers, such as De La Soul and other members of the Native Tongues Posse and in 1995 began recording with producer Hi-Tek and rapper Mos Def who he met at central park, and later attended New York University with. With Mos Def (together the pair were known as Black Star), Kweli achieved some mainstream success with Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star (1998). Also noted are Kweli and Mos' central input on Rawkus Records' compilation album Soundbombing (1997). Soundbombing also include collaborations between Kweli and DJ Hi Tek as Reflection Eternal. Together they released Train of Thought in 2000, which sold better than most alternative hip hop albums at the time. He has since released a critically acclaimed solo debut, Quality in 2002. In 2004, he released his second solo album, The Beautiful Struggle. His third solo album Ear Drum was released on August 21st, 2007.

Kweli has created his own record label, Blacksmith Records and has recently signed acclaimed female rapper Jean Grae, with rumors continuing to grow that underground veteran MF DOOM is the next artist to be picked up. He left Geffen Records and has signed with the Warner Music Group.

He has since broken through slightly more towards the mainstream, thanks in large part to several appearance on the comedy show Chappelle's Show, both solo and with long-time collaborator Mos Def, this is due to a friendship between the host and creator of the show, comedian Dave Chappelle and the rapper. He also had a guest spot on friend and frequent collaborator Kanye West's widely successful debut album The College Dropout on the track "Get 'Em High". West has also produced some of Kweli's songs, including his biggest commercial hit "Get By". Kweli can also be seen in a commercial for the NCAA's Big Ten Conference, rapping about the league's basketball teams. Talib Kweli provided the voice for the main character, Trane, in the video game Marc Ecko's Getting Up, released in 2006.
