Pretty Bird - Talib Kweli, Masta Killa, Halo

There it goes

I was looking for it, there it is

There it goes

Alright, here we go

Here we go

Scandinavian bottles and Granddaddy Kush

Immaculate wardrobes, you had to look

Fox head furs from furlough, I’m double booked

Out of town with the subtle crooks

Double Dragon action

Fire breathing the interaction

Pure satisfaction of unknown passion

Bar crashing, tire slashing, and car scratching

My heart Alaskan

Love I was never asking

Biltmore grass, I double dip in the stash

Wine tastings, I bring my own glass

Potent hash, how long the zone last

Audi 6 chrome dash

Understatement, it’s fast

Talk trash and make it rhyme with great design

Black Jedi with the force

Lightsaber shine

Breathe, slow down, take your time

No race, it’s an acquired taste

You should savor mine

Be the change you want to see is my favorite line

When I’m quoting Gandhi to mami before we bump and grind

Last summer we summarized our subtle rise

Suckers tried to stunt got knucklized

New born’s cry, the look of a mother’s eye

That’s how I feel about my art

I’m always surprised and astounded by the sounds when I’m around it

Founder’s fountain of youth

Drum looping, we’re about it

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Word around town the whole city heard

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Falcon flight nights

You can give me hers

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

Money stink mink, with the Kissyfur

Pretty bird flew right into my screen door

Glass look invisible

Look, peep how I’m rocking my Kangol like a HaLo

Wings of a angel, body so heavenly

I’m down to catch a felony

Especially when the melody is telling me

The recipe for flowing so steadily

Is witty unpredictably, my talent and natural game to bag a dame

Another track and mane you make it sound fly

Silky, the flows is milky

Undisputed rhyme King of this mic ring

Dare a motherfucker to swing

Swords cling at the battle of the rapture

Fans that will kill you

Pretty bird scream for these microphone fiends

Legendary hip hop classic, we mastered

Burn like sulphuric for those who want to hear it

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird (yeah)

Word around town the whole city heard

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Falcon flight nights

You can give me hers

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

(yeah)

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

(yeah, what!)

I said «smile baby» She said «I haven’t smiled lately»

«It's been a while, I got trials, I feel like God hate me»

I told her «count your blessings, not your problems»

Forget all our differences, what do we have in common?

Disparities, and our similarities, cause casualties

All in her heart cavity, battling like the Maccabees

The way a mack would be

Attacking all her faculties

It’s deep, I’m like Philippe’s them other cats is Applebee’s

She make them bow down like the Japanese

Stealing hearts like a villain notorious

So dastardly, so nefarious

My boy’s dapping me, it’s hilarious

Shorty on fire, like a chariot

I guess a gritty verse it meant to be

The pretty bird may could return as the phoenix, eventually

I guess a gritty verse it meant to be

The pretty bird may could return as a phoenix, eventually

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Say it loud, wack and you proud

Jump, scream, and shout it

Brother we don’t allow

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Word around town the whole city heard

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Falcon flight nights

You can give me hers

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

Fly into the glass when your vision blur

Money stink mink, with the Kissyfur
