The Blast Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Let me, [Em]let me practice
Talib T'Kwi, (Kweli) - T'Kweli, I can't
say it
That's [G]wack
[Em][A][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[G]Yeah, [A]yeah, yeah, yeah
[G]Yeah, [Em]yeah,
[G]
[Em]yeah[G], ye[A]ah[G]
[Em][G]
Yeah, you pronounce [D]my name
[G](Kweli), any questions?[Em]
I bring many blessings
with my man Hi- Tek
And he from [G]the Natti (Natti)
We make the sky crack,
feel the fly [Em]track
Get your hands up like [G]a hijack
Fist in the air [Em]for (Marley), keep 'em there like

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Natural mystic [G]or smoke when
they spliffs lit
It's a revolutionary (party), they
ask me what I'm writin' for
[Em]I'm writin' to [G]show
you what we fightin' for
Say "Tah- leeb" or "Ta- lib" (Kweli), if it's
hard, try [Em]spellin' it phonetically
If [G]not, then just 'Let It Be'
like Nina Simone
You probably ('ably) don't listen
B
Even when we suffer losses,
I count the victory
Sometimes it's far [Em]and between I'm sad to say

[Verse 4]
[Em]It got
my brain crowded like
sun[G]set on a Saturday
I know my son wept 'cause
his dad's away
[Em]"Stop cryin',
be strong for your momma" [G]is what I had to say

[Verse 5]
To [G]my little man named
[Em]Amani ('Mani)
Start the party, my crew hot,
feel [G]these two shots
Like the blast from a double-
barrel shottie (shottie)
[Em]It's got to be,
your man Hi- [G]Tek and Kweli
Who make you rock your body (body)
Start [Em]the party, my crew hot,
feel [G]these two shots
Like the blast from a double-
barrel shottie (shottie)
It's got to be,
your man Hi- Tek and Kweli (yo, yo, yo)

[Verse 6]
I [G]remember when it all started
Back in the day,
when me and mom[Em]s first par[G]ted
Hi- Tek from the beginnin',
I stayed advanced
A young chameleon,
adapt to any [Em]circumstance
Peep [G]game, nigga, never been a lazy nigga
[Em]Stayed on my h[G]ustle concentrate
to get the paper bigger

[Verse 7]
Stay [G]focused,
while other cats stay hopeless
While niggas stay high, I stay lower
[Em]Stacking my chips to get
a [G]foreclosure
This shit ain't over (no)
Going for the gusto,
keep getting that provo
It's Hi- [Em]Tek ([G]and Kweli) on
the track like Flo- Jo
Bet you ain't even [Em]know I had [G]flow though

[Verse 8]
Yo, make you [Em]rock your body
(body)
Start the party, my crew hot,
feel [G]these two shots
Like the blast from a double-
[Em]barrel [G]shottie (shottie)
It's got to be,
your [Em]man Hi- T[A]ek and Kweli

[Verse 9]
[G]Keep on dancing,
[Em]ya gotta keep on dancing (oh- [A]oh- oh, yeah, yeah)
Keep [G]on dancing,
ya gotta [Em]keep on [G]dan[A]cing (oh- oh- oh, yeah, yeah)
[G]Keep on dancing,
ya gotta [Em]keep on dancing [G](oh- oh- oh, yeah, yeah)
[A]Keep [G]on dancing,
ya gotta [Em]keep on [G]dancing
[G][Em][G]
[Em]

[Verse 10]
Yeah, [G]this is Gil Scott- Heron,
and I'm [G]from Harlem
Everybody knows where that is
so that's where I'm [G]from
Talib Kweli and DJ Hi- Tek,
Reflection Eternal
The new album is called
the Train of Thought
I'm urging everybody to get a ticket
and get on the train
'Cause that's what you need
to be doing
So, check that out, peace
