In the Mood

Talib Kweli

Yes, welcome to the wonderful sounds of Talib Kweli
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, and passin' the dutch and relaxin'
And puffin' and hittin' and duckin', the rippin' production
These kittens ain't muffins, just be'cause we stuff 'em in the oven
My words is drippin' off the tongue like the wax from a candle wick
I'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'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'! Let's go

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)

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

I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (yeah)
Navigate through the truly bizarre (uh 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?
Ah-ah, uh, uh-uh, ah
Ah-ah, uh, uh-uh, ah, yeah

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 speakers 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 my people, see how deep it can run?
I'm in the mood like Donte 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 Bojangles-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 (let's go)

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
