Released: October 17, 2000

Songwriter: Hi-Tek Talib Kweli

Producer: Troy Hightower Hi-Tek

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
C'mon, c'mon ya ya ya ya ya
Get 'em up, get 'em up, what
Get 'em up, get 'em up, what
Get 'em up, get 'em up, what

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Yo, yo, yo
What's with the melodrama?
Fella's wanna hover in my cypher like a helicopter
Like it's a special honor
The stealth bomba, gem droppa
Make the ghetto holla, Inter-Conta-Nental
Takin you high like skydivers
When we spark like live wires
Original, cavemen quest for my fire
Express my desire to drop this new shit
These record executives keep tellin' me y'all stupid
Now if they right, shut the fuck up
Revolutionaries throw your guns up
Whether you a bourgeois broad who acting stuck up
Or some ignorant thug motherfucker shooting the club up
We gonna make y'all feel this, break y'all spirit
If y'all fake that realness, word we bringing it
Ringing it in from the new millenuim to way after that
I call these cats Reynolds 'cuz they plastic wrap

[Chorus: Talib Kweli]
Kill all the yapping, let's make it happen
You cats ain't real, you just a re-enactment
Better yet, dramatization
Soon as the director say action you start fakin'
I start breakin', the whole joint start shakin'
This ain't the time or place for you to prove something
Cut the stargazin' yo, move somethin'!

[Post-Chorus: Talib Kweli & female voice]
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
(Word.. alright bring it back to the top)
To be continued...
Let's see what's next up on the menu run up in you
Lyrics that be fuckin' with you
In the mental, pick any mental - instru, funda, detri
Extra-extra large like the borough of Brooklyn the residential
Exi-stential-ist specialist
Like Sly Stone wit' my poem and fly song
Ride along with cats who live great and die strong, word
We gonna rock till nothin' else matters
Y'all catch bodies, we catch excellent cadavers
Your next of kin an' shatter stories splattered in the tabloids
Erase your trace like your cotton mouth and we peppermint Altoids
Step in the high reppin' the spot called Flatbush
Whether rappers or actors you still feel the gat bust
The abstract then becomes the reality
Alcoholics like to call it the moment of clarity

[Chorus: Talib Kweli]
Kill all the yappin lets make it happen
You cats ain't real, you just a re-enactment
Better yet, dramatization
Soon as the director say action you start fakin
I start breakin
The whole joint start shakin
This ain't the time or place for you to prove something
Cut the stargazin' yo, move somethin'!

[Outro: Talib Kweli & female voice]
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')
Move somethin' (move somethin')

Reflection Eternal

Reflection Eternal is a rapper/producer duo consisting of Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli and Cincinnati-born producer Hi-Tek.

After first collaborating on Black Star, which Hi-Tek produced various tracks for, the duo released their debut album Train of Thought in 2000 to critical acclaim.

Though Hi-Tek and Talib would continue collaborating on each others albums, the duo would not release another album until 2010. Their 2010 effort, Revolutions Per Minute, though not quite matching the acclaim of their first effort, was very well received and featured perhaps their best-known single—“Just Begun,” featuring Yasiin Bey, J. Cole and Jay Electronica.
