[00:00.00]Memories Live （）-Talib Kweli /Hi -Tek
[00:02.50]Yo you know what we got to do man
[00:04.310]We need to get a whole CD
[00:06.619]Get a collection of all the music
[00:08.669]And everything we've ever done
[00:15.139]（back sweet memories）
[00:20.359]（back sweet memories）
[00:25.729]（back sweet memories）
[00:32.119]（memories）
[00:33.409]Life living in Flat bush and going to house parties
[00:35.369]Red lights bumping life is what you make it
[00:37.249]Then sorry
[00:38.208]In my lifetime ain't done too many things
[00:40.68]Better than watching your first son
[00:41.758]Put his sentences together
[00:43.527]Yo it kinda make me think of way back when
[00:45.877]I was the portrait of the artist as a young man
[00:48.507]All them teenage dreams of rapping writing rhymes on napkins
[00:51.437]Was really visualization
[00:52.107]Making this shit actually happen
[00:53.947]It's like something come through me
[00:55.327]That truly just consume me
[00:56.617]Speaking through
[00:57.07]The voices of the spirits speaking to me
[00:58.717]I think back in the day
[01:00.27]I absorbed everything like a sponge
[01:01.557]Took a plunge into my past to share with my son
[01:05.166]（memories）
[01:08.975]（back sweet memories）
[01:14.685]（back sweet memories）
[01:15.665]（memories）
[01:16.295]Like thoughts out the back of
[01:17.385]My mind going back in some time
[01:18.635]Like when you used to cut
[01:19.675]And had to go to the back of the line
[01:21.415]Look back and you find tracks
[01:22.265]That make you relax and recline
[01:23.345]Now cats rap about packing a nine when they lacking divine
[01:26.14]Inspiration running out of topics of conversation
[01:28.194]Well I drop it in the pocket because rock is my occupation
[01:31.184]I do it remarkably
[01:32.894]Spark up a leaf and possibly you could follow me
[01:35.804]Tap into your chi
[01:36.984]Utilize your spiritual faculty a
[01:38.454]Ccurately use your memory
[01:39.524]To help you see clearly then get back to me
[01:42.204]Actually nothing's new under the sun
[01:43.954]So when life be stressing me my remedy is
[01:45.954]（back sweet memories）
[01:47.794]Like the faces that are woven in
[01:49.664]The fabric of my consciousness
[01:50.964]From cities where making 21's a big accomplishment
[01:53.584]Like when my people understood their prominence
[01:55.543]And my past life visions of the continent
[01:57.943]Like the first time I saw KRS live rockin'it
[02:00.733]I heard Resurrection by Common Sense
[02:02.913]Dominant in my psyche
[02:04.383]I chose my direction like Spike Lee
[02:06.353]To speak my life through mics and I never take it lightly
[02:09.173]It might be something you did to
[02:11.203]Bring you down when you were high
[02:12.543]But that karma's a b**ch you steady asking God why
[02:14.393]Like when my parents first split up yo I was illin'
[02:17.53]Seems like some years
[02:17.773]They was together for the sake of the children
[02:19.963]And I love them for that I don't know if they saw that
[02:22.553]So I'ma say it and convey it when the world play it
[02:25.123]I'ma say it and convey it when the world play it
[02:27.573]I'ma say it and convey it when the world play it
[02:34.903]（back sweet memories sweet memories）
[02:45.392]（back sweet memories）
[02:50.632]（back）
[02:52.42]Like black is beautiful names from the seventies
[02:54.271]Let me tap into your energy
[02:56.361]Fields of dreams become my property
[02:58.261]When I reach my destiny
[02:59.441]Like a prophecy especially when I 'm
[03:01.481]（back sweet memories）
[03:02.401]I got deep into my mind see I got a treasury
[03:05.111]That float through my head like a sweet melody
[03:07.551]What you telling me
[03:08.601]Reflection is a collection of memories
[03:09.811]Definitely this is how hip hop was meant to be
[03:13.539]Eventually I knew I'd run into Hi-Teknology
[03:16.129]It was only a matter of time like centuries
[03:18.279]Check the recipe or technique to
[03:19.959]How it sound so sweet
[03:21.329]I freak with word power my man speak with beats
[03:23.399]If I could make it in New York
[03:25.269]I figured anywhere I'd make it
[03:26.779]Came to Cincinnati linked with Mood and we did Sacred
[03:29.249]Hi-Tek beats became my favorite
[03:30.819]Hussle on the Side was the cut
[03:32.619]We started to put songs together like what
[03:34.729]Traveled the world
[03:35.879]Came back to the crib and hit the motherland
[03:37.679]Yeah this year we put in work and got some other plans
[03:40.239]In fact that's where I'll take the fam
[03:41.629]When the Reflection joint is done
[03:42.769]By the time you hear this
[03:43.999]I'll be basking in African sun like wow
[03:48.419]Yes we made it we here
