In The Mood

Talib Kweli

2

Yes, welcome to the wonderful sounds of Talib Kweli

(Let me in of love)

Ladies

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 (fuck!)

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 drippin′ off the tongue like the wax from a candle wick

It'll 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 ready, you already know

Slipped her a note like, "You ready to go?

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

I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (c′mon)

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 (yea-yea-yeah, yeah)

Navigate through the truly bizarre (Jesus!)

Who we are, who we is, it′s the kids that stay true to this life (uh-uh, uh-uh)

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

You messin′ up my mo', my whole mood, told y′all, oh

Lose, eat crews like crews like soulfood

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 the Ritz? Carlton? Dress like, fresh like, just like

I′m the shit (ugh!)

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 niggers 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 tryna 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 Tooty

This girl got a silicone booty!

And got the nerve to act moody!

Now I ain't tryna judge like Judy

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

Act like Fifty, throw her in a pool G

I wear the night like a cloak ′cause I move with the stars (yeah)

Navigate through the truly bizarre (uh, 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

I wear the night like a cloak ′cause I move with the stars (c'mon)

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

Break it down

Uh, what?

Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah

Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, yeah

(Do- what?) Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, what?

Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, what? (Do- what?)

Uh-ah, uh-oh, yeah (do- what?)

Bringin′ the drum, keep it funky like a stink in a slum

'Cause see they wanna breed cursin' for the things that don′t come

The speaker′s wrong that we rap dudes speakin' in tongues

Christmas time, choice for what? No we keepin′ our guns

Smokin' a piff to cause a leak in your lungs

You ain′t got shit to do like Friday when the weekend begun

Completely done with rap dudes, don't compete with the dumb

I spill my blood for the people, see how deep it can run?

I′m in the mood like Dante and Main Flow

Never comin' with the same flow, got it's change, yo

It′s strange, yo, to make yo chain glow, that′s yo main goal

That's a facade like I′m somewhere over the rainbow

Really, these cats sweeter than mangoes, Mr Bonjangles-ass dudes

Dancin' around the club, doin′ the tango

Go hard like Iverson playin' with hurt ankles

Plus, wrestle the topic from a different Kurt Angle!

I wear the night like a cloak ′cause I move with the stars (c'mon)

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 (c'mon)

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

Wow, that′s a nice track!
