[Big Nel: Intro]
Let 'em know how we do it down in the C.O
We 'bout to get the thang started
Know what I'm sayin'? The year 2000

[Big Nel: Verse 1]
I'm 'bout to let these muthafuckas know, Big D representin'
All the way from the C.O
Cinncinnati, Ohio - that's what it is
Ay yo I'm givin' some shout-outs to my kids
I'm just a real-ass nigga from the Natti I used to drive caddies
And used to be a Pimp daddy
And now I chill in the studio, roll wit' my niggas
And we sippin' on Henny though
Yeah, I like to smoke on the hydro
Go to the club, might pick up a freaky ho
Yeah, what's up my niggas? We doin' it like that
While we in the bank countin' figures
You know how we gettin' things started down here in the Natti
You know, Come down here you kick it with me, Big D
Y'know, ride out, get cloud out, smoked out, know what I'm sayin'
Get things poppin'
You know how we do it, got the forty fluid
Know what I'm sayin', yeah, yeah

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.
