Lyrics:
drinking it in
And those harlem nights never had to end
So the harlem guys can strut their stuff again
In their two-toned shoes, shade of Langston Hughes
In
Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun
Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come
You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love
Don't
culture
Face against weapons, sirens, holsters
That ain't the way that Langston Hughes wrote us
Soul controllers on the shoulders of Moses and Noah
We
hearted prankster crews
Willie dank Langston Hughes, put shanks in crews
I debut to make the news and I've been killing it since
Still in the trench,
and half hearted prankster crews
Willie dank Langston Hughes, put shanks in crews
I debut to make the news and I've been killing it since
Still in
rappers perpetrating, free motivating
Put poems together like I'm the Great Langston Hughes
My dome aching, I'm so patient
Struggling between my music
who can write
Like Langston Hughes from the brain off top
Like a bottle dude, get a hollow
Where you swallow food
Get a model, bet she swallow, who? Me
Panthers, black anthems, black blues
With black answers for black stanzas, Langston Hughes
Breaking rules, ain't it cool?
Took it old, and made it new
still unemployed
Taken for granted, love is null and void
No longer one and few, young Langston Hughes
Jewish intuition, I'm followin' cues
Niggas own
Lorraine Hansberry left us, and she was a dear friend
She had her favorite song, that Langston Hughes left us
Coltrane left us, Otis Redding left us
Who
In the corner of the barroom
Lives the ghost of Langston Hughes
He's takin' notes and smokin' cigarettes
Sippin' slowly on his booze
Got them goin'
Yo, I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Haley
Got blazed before they told stories
Well, I'ma get blazed before I tell y'all stories
I saw on TV
Yo a project thug, political gangster, starvin' Langston Hughes
Jews want the crib when the God dies
I'm deadly, metaphors'll dog you while I'm in
wings
Nas the Viking, fresh to my ankles, thankful
Gangster see gangster do, I'm Langston Hughes predecessor
Gun on my dresser slang I use upset
In the corner of the barroom
Lives the ghost of Langston Hughes
He's takin' notes and smokin' cigarettes
Sippin' slowly on his booze
Got them
In the corner of the barroom
Lives the ghost of Langston Hughes
He's takin' notes and smokin' cigarettes
Sippin' slowly on his booze
Got them
SUAVE POTENGI

Lavo meu suor nesses rios
Entre versos de Langston Hughes
Águas profundas, desafios
Na saliência das almas
Escorrem

But I still spit poetry like Langston Hughes did
Pressures of the ghetto might make you lose it
Grab AK's and go and make the news kid
Might

is
(A poet like Langston Hughes and can’t lose)
Lemonade was a popular drink
And it still is
This for real niggas and bitches
You gone feel this
drink and in still is
I get more props den stunts den Bruce Willis
A poet like Langston Hughes and can't lose when I cruise
Out on the expressway
so Bukowski, Soda Popinski
Little Macs could never be number one, your time's done
Bomb filling smelling like napalm, your day's gone
Langston
love
Love, love, love, love
Our love can change the world
What if Maya didn't speak out?
What if Langston Hughes didn't write it down?
What if
Every project, rebourse, Kings Borough
Bushwick, fort geen
Tilden, brownsville
Langston Hughes, LG
Glendon, Van Dike, steflo, Brookline
Albany,
