Ya you pronounced the name, "kweli!" any questions?
I bring many blessings wit my man Hi-Tek and he from the natti, "Natti!"
we make sky-crafts filled
wit fly traps get ya hands up like a hijack. Fist in the air, "kwali!" keep em'
there like, a natural mystic or smoke when the scents lit in the revolutionary
"kwali!" they ask me what i'm writing i'm writing to show you what we fightin' for!

Saitohmevatalen, that is hard trying failing ethenetically, if not then just let it be
like Leave-us-alone "kwali!" don't listen beef, even when we suffer loses I count
the victory. Some times its long between i'm sad to say you got my brain crowded
like sunset on a saturday i know my son is sad cause his dad's away, start trying
and be strong for ya mama is what i had to say.

(chorus)2x

To my n**** man in the "money!",
start the party my crew hot philly's so shot like
the blast from a double burrel "shotty!"
this got to be the man hi-tek and kwali..

who make ya rock ya "body!" start the party my crew hot phillys to shot
like the blast from a double burrel "shotty!" this got to be
the man hi-tek and kwali..

(end of chorus)

I remember when it all started, back in the day when me and mama
first parted. I take from the beggining and take advance a young
camileon that got to any circumstance peep game n****, Never been a
lazy n****. Stayed on my hustle concentrate to get the paper bigger stay focused,
why other cats stay hopeless, why n****s stay high I stay lower stackin my chips to get
a full cover this s**t aint over.. rollin through that dusto keep gettin that provo,
its hi-tek (&) "kwali!" on the track like flo-joe bet you didnt even know i had
flows tho.

(chorus)1x

Yo make ya rock ya "body!" start the party my crew hot philly's to shot
like the blast from a double burrel "shotty!" this got to be the man
hi-tek and kwali...
