[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Yeah
Special dedication
I'm sendin' this one out to you
And you and you and you
I said to you and you and you

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
She cold blooded
I love how we meltin' the ice
She like the sunshine of my life
Cause all I see is a hot thing
You're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
Word, you keep my dark sky lit up at night
So bright that you blinding my sight
Cause all I see is a hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
Word, somebody like a flick
It got surprisin' twists
I write the script
The main character - your thighs and hips
Award for best supportin' role go to your eyes and lips
The way you move your body got 'em stiff like a hieroglyph
I watched you dance across the floor to the title track
You 'bout to get me "Off The Wall" like you Michael Jack'
I make a scribe in your beauty my sacred duty
I will write a song, write a book, write a play, make a movie

[Refrain: will.i.am and (Talib Kweli)]
Good love you a sexy thing
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Good love you a sexy thing
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
Yo, I love your country ass
I love your city sass
I love how you know my ways
You catch on pretty fast
These dudes are pretty crass
Harass you in your past
I love how you snap back and get the last laugh
I love the way your crib smell like Votivo candle incense
The White voice you use on the phone when you handle business
I love it when you freaky (Yeah)
I love when you a lady
Rockin' door knockers from the late 80s, raisin' babies
I love her; god bless you
Your body somethin' special
I love to play connect the dots with your facial freckles
No need for fashion policin' because I love your style
Whatever happen to Shenice, baby I love your smile
I might be fallin' in love, should I let her know
A pimp told me if I love her I should let her go
I sing her praises every time they play this instrumental
Cause she instrumental to my life, to my life, to my--

[Refrain: will.i.am and (Talib Kweli)]
Good love you a sexy thing
(And if ya know you're sexy)
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
(Put your hands in the air like this here)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Good love you a sexy thing
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
I love how we meltin' the ice
You like the sunshine of my life
Cause all I see is a hot thing
You're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
Word, you keep my dark sky lit up at night
So bright that you blinding my sight
Cause all I see is a hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
And you're my hot thing
Word, lemme take you by the hand
You need to tell your man, don't fight it, damn
Have you groupied out like excited fans
I promise you'll be climbing walls like Spider-Man
Knees bucklin' you'll hit the floor when you try to stand (up)
So you drop it like it's hot - oh so heavy
You and me we can leave now - we can go steady
How about we be jetty cause I'm so ready to bounce like a '64 Chevy

[Refrain: will.i.am and (Talib Kweli)]
Good love you a sexy thing
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Good love you a sexy thing
And all I'm sayin' is you got somethin' I like
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)
Love that you like it (Oh, fo sho)

[Outro (throughout refrain): Talib Kweli]
This here is a special dedication
To all the special ladies
Shout-out to will.i.am
Yeah, holla at me

If skills sold, Talib Kweli would have been one of the most commercially successful rappers of his time. As it was, however, the earnest MC became one of the most critically successful rappers of his time, which dawned in the late ‘90s when he rapped alongside Yasiin Bey (then known as Mos Def) and DJ Hi-Tek as part of the group Black Star.

Talib is known for his numerous collaborations with other artists like Kanye West, Common, Madlib, Bilal, The Roots, Dead Prez, Q-Tip, John Legend, the list is endless. He has also embraced a whole new generation like Blu, Kendrick Lamar, Curren$y, and Ab-Soul.

Kweli has recently spearheaded a direct-to-fan means of distributing his music via his new site #KweliClub. Check it out to get his latest music including many free downloads.
