'Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar'!
Yup! these are the type of thought provoking lyrics Talib spits on this track! while it is an easygoing track with an awesome production (the production is so good..love the instrumentals!) to vibe to, it's also a song you need to listen closely and understand the lyrics to fully get where he is coming from.
Talib Kweli is one of the few conscious rappers out there who once in a while drops a track to talk about the state of Hip Hop and possibly 'bring it back on track' and honestly i appreciate rappers like him and i love the subtle message of this track. I like that you don't necessarily have to love rap to get into this track, it has a sound that pulls you in subconsciously and you just want it to keep playing.
Also, if you are someone that loves to post lyrics from songs as captions for your social media posts (Don't be shy..lol), this is a track with lots of dope captions for you! *wink*

You guessed right- Visca Barca!), when I get lost in a really good book, when Messi scores a ridiculously awesome goal or when…okay okay you get it, I have lots of awesome moments for which I’m always thankful for!
