(talking)

If you can talk you can sing

If you can walk you can dance

That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe

You know what I mean

If you can talk you can sing

If you can walk you can dance

Yeah, and the trumpet is blown

Yeah, alright, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Alright, Wooh!

(talking)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time

Yo, anybody can tell you how it is

What we putting down right here is how it is and how it could be

Reflection Eternal for real

And with that-

These cats is no match, plus they lack a certain knack for rapping

They never catch the wagon like Re-run and "What's Happening"

Since back when they had potty issues and snotty tissues we been rockin

Think you poppin next year nobody will miss you

My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels

They come sweeter than sabal and softer than mashed potatoes

I tried to told you the rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers

Took 'em back in time like Sankofa, Sankofa

We stand over the Atlantic, looking broad like a man's shoulders

The fire is trapped in a belly, ready to pop like canned soda

We outlasting, from middle passage

Touched down in New York

Cincinnatay! Big Ohio status what you thought

Money it's classic these bastards try to treat us like cattle

So life has been a constant battle, battle

Rising above the crabs in the barrel

Way too used to living in death's shadow

We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow

We hit the target accurate

Star shit, back it up

When we hit town, y'all niggas pack it up

That's how we get down, straight smash it up

Like a whip, hydroplaning

Hydro on the brain and maintaining

Game changing into subtle shit, we remain blatant

Yo, got to tell you to your face

You get replaced in this game, by Kweli

Place the face with the name

These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain

Like slaves on a ship talking about who got the flyest chain

(talking)

Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors

We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us

Cause your spirit possessed us

Yo, you blessed us

Thank you very much (7x)

Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors

We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us

Cause your spirit possessed us

Yo, you blessed us

Thank you very much

God bless you (7x)
