Artist/Band: Talib Kweli
Lyrics for Song: So Low
Lyrics for Album: Gutter Rainbows [2011]



[Intro - Noisettes "Sometimes" samples]

"Sometimes, we start over"

"Just go solo..." (Yeah, I like that)

"No metaphors, are needed from"

(Snap your fingers, you can do it all by yourself)

"This time onwards"

(You can do it all by yourself)



[Chorus]

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 burnin' as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I've 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



[Verse 1]

I always speak for the struggle my people still hurtin'

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

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

about my commitments in life, although I'm still searchin'

I better find a way, if not I better make a path

And 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 walkin' contradiction

Cause I'm breakin' 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 cursin', still pursin' my lips to pull purple but



[Chorus]

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 burnin' as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I've 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



[Verse 2]

Yeah, yo, you witnessin', the building of a legacy

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

got us facin' 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 to 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 gettin' started, why you slowin' up?

But know enough to know, this was done by the collective we

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

The f*ck is a celebrity?



[Chorus]

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 burnin' as it swirls around me

And I've been so low

I've 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
