Kindness for Weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take I might flip but usually a calm individual Armed with accountants, my lawyers and other criminals Network with armies, street wars are critical And revolutionaries so streets are more livable What your ego say Don't take for granted, homey, we don't play All's fair in love and war, piece of cake But beef is rare like a bloody piece of steak Don't you take your eyes off the quiet ones, the silent ones With the assassin smile, the most violent Train until their bleeding, crying, perspiring And gun rings firing Don't you take the wrong side, that's the wrong idea Untangle it, we could get it on right here Never back to broke, you get tapped or choked I might smile but I ain't no joke Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take Oh, yo look out, look out Rak' Love or fear, the fear last longer But love is stronger, so I stay loyal to love with honor You got those who wanna take that for weak Be prepared, they'll test you in front of your peeps Some easy advice, buy your way out my life It's the principle, the pockets fat not flat Some borrow dough and relax on payin' that back? C'mon cat Don't you take me for weak, give an inch they take feet Give 'em feet, they take the street My city's called 'Everybody Eats' The operations don't skip a beat Don't you take my squad as chumps, punks or fakes Quick to dump, pop trunks on snakes That's of course, push came to shove Otherwise love is love so Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take Ladies and gentlemen We have a special guest tonight in the house Talib Kweli You'll never fit up in my shoes so don't try 'em on I always tear it up, I'm 'bout as calm as a quiet storm Legendary lyricist, nice guy persona My songs celebrate life and you can play 'em for your momma But don't make the mistake of tryin' to play me Unless you a DJ, don't get it twisted I'm still from B.K. Wanna front? Better keep it in your mouth like Flavor Flav Where I'm from even a chick spit razor blades Don't you take me for a sucker or I'll take you back to school Fool can't play the wise but the wise can act a fool I stay cool and mild mannered and just put in my work Don't push you don't know what's up, under my shirt Don't you take me for soft, I got a heart that pump Like a twelve gauge shotty when it start to dump Youse a mystery 'cause you don't know who you runnin' towards And got history, that shit is told by those who won the war Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take Don't you take Don't you take Don't you take Don't you take Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take my kindness for weakness Don't you take
