On LTtheMonk’s first collaboration with British R&B singer and friend Ben Wylie, LT simply tells other MCs to put down their mics and let him to the talking. Le3 bLACK’s sample of The XX on this record also pays homage to the many British artists that inspire LT and his collaborators.
[Intro]
Monk
Yo this
Kinda need a different flow
Let's try it
[Verse 1: LTtheMonk]
Plato said it
Plato said we first created
Four arms, four legs and a couple of faces
Going out on a limb
Let the heavens face us
Coz that's how powerful
I feel right now
Double time to move round the globe
Till Zeus feel threatened
Step in with a weapon
Cut down the middle
So I'm meant to be spending
My whole life
Looking for the soul mate
Sole way to get back in action
But I already got my love on the line
So Zeus giving no distractions
Yeah the melanin count
Be the perfect amount
And she got the melon all in her mouth
So we got the juice
So don't bring me down
Know your eyes are Krusty
Don't try to clown
Yeah you sleeping on us but we got the Tao
The path past the sheets to sneak out the house
And into the garden
Guitars and verbal spars so out loud you can't ignore now
Why fight?
Enjoy the Wyling out
And Herculee
On top of the clouds
So don't be Zeus
Don't be jealous
See the stage and let the speaker mount
[Hook: LTtheMonk]
I ain't gotta brag
I let the speaker do the talking
But when I grab the mic
You let the speaker do the talking
These words of the reckless
And I be Mandela
You faking sign language
Put your hands down and let the
Speaker do the talking
Monk do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Wylie do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Monk do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Wylie do the talking yo
[Verse 2: Ben Wylie]
I think I'm 'bout to go crazy
Sitting down
Doing nothing but daydream
Instead I should be up there
Singing the song
And let the mic do the talking
All the way long
They say you only get one shot to take it
Being real is essential
If you're gonna make it
So tell me why I'll listen to what you say
'Cause you ain't nothing at the end of the day
So
[Hook: LTtheMonk]
I ain't gotta brag
I let the speaker do the talking
But when I grab the mic
You let the speaker do the talking
These words of the reckless
And I be Mandela
You faking sign language
Put your hands down and let the
Speaker do the talking
Monk do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Wylie do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Monk do the talking
Let the speaker do the talking
Wylie do the talking yo
[Outro: LTtheMonk]
And that's it
Dreams become ideas
To thoughts to words and actions
Which become patterns and habits
To life choices
And mines...
Rapping
So let the speaker do the talking
Monk, Wylie
