Talib Kweli - So Low (prod. by Shuko); track #3 off the album Gutter Rainbows (2011). I do not own the contents within, no copyright is intended.

(Lyrics)

I can go so low

I can feel the gravity that's in the world around me

I can go so low

I can feel the fire burning as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I felt ice cold in hours at the bottom of the sea

Might have been so low

You might did low get low but you never been as low as me

I always speak for the struggle my people still hurting

I'm a name brand I'm a product but still a real person

I'm still flirting with death although I'm still certain

About my commitments in life although I'm still searching

I bet I find a way if not I bet I make a path

One that's seldom traveled by the masses

I never stuck in all the traffic I cut through all the plastic

Enemies of the enlightened like the government is fascist

I talk it how I live it yet I'm still considered a walking contradiction

Cause I'm breaking out of your artistic prison listen

I got my own demons what I'm supposed to do with yours

Times like this I gotta remind myself what I do It for

People I knew before celebrity swear they see the change in me

I tell em change is god you gotta let it be

How does it feel to come full circle

Still cursing still pursing my lips to pull purple but

I can go so low

I can feel the gravity that's in the world around me

I can go so low

I can feel the fire burning as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I felt ice cold in hours at the bottom of the sea

Might have been so low

You might did low get low but you never been as low as me

Witness it the building of a legacy

So let us just pray cause the journey that's ahead of us

Got us facing a task that just might get the best of us

That's why we gotta clash with the Titans like Pegasus

No Oedipus but it's like the beat is my therapist

When I let it in it get up in the cracks and the crevices

Of my memories what kind of treasure are you buried with

You fight when you die are you a soldier or a terrorist

Remember this there's no one else to blame when you're solo

Establish your fan base local before you take it global

Don't be scared spend your own dough

You gotta speak up be vocal sometimes you feel so low

Ain't nowhere to go but up go with us

We just getting started why you slowing up

But know enough to know by a collective we

Even if my name is on the record sleeve I ain't into brevity

What the fuck is a celebrity

I can go so low

I can feel the gravity that's in the world around me

I can go so low

I can feel the fire burning as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I felt ice cold in hours at the bottom of the sea

Might have been so low

You might did low get low but you never been as low as me

2nd verse tears it all apart. Talib is one of the few MCs who consequently stayed with their style. Needless to say, Gutter Rainbows and Prisoner of Conscious aren't Black Star or Train of Thought, but it's still quality material. Something lots of legendary MCs are not able to put out anymore after so many years in the game.

I really need to know, does anyone know the origin of this beat? Was it sampled from another song (and if so, I seriously want to find out what song, since it sounds awesome), or is it original?

no that is just "Lil Gayne" and "fake-Drake" that heard this REAL hip hop music and disliked it because they are jealous ;-) Talib Kweli is the best !!!

Shuko has got to be the next legendary producer, he makes so many ill beats

I'm 16 years old, and I prefer Kweli, Mos Def, KRS-One, Phonte, Kendrick Lamar, Rakim and Nas to Lil Wayne or Drake. Simple explanation: my mother raised me right.

@YLorenz It certainly is... Compare this to the generic shit being released by the majority of the community. Having trouble? You can't. There is no comparison.

So much better than 90 % of mainstream rappers.
