Talib Kweli - Outstanding (Featuring Ryan Leslie)

Talib Kweli releases his latest LP, Prisoner of Conscious(February, at last word). While we wait, Kweli takes it back to his Attack The Block mixtape for his latest video, “Outstanding” featuring Ryan Leslie (Boi 1nda on the beat). And yeah, I think that would be a great word to describe the leading lady in this vid. Video directed by Ryan Leslie.

Outstanding Lyrics by Talib Kweli Ft. Ryan Leslie

Can I get a church from the …ghetto

Can I get a church from the …ghetto

La la la la la la la, yeah

Girl you’re outstanding

From the hips to your thighs,

It’s splendid how you standing out

Girl you’re outstanding,

So let’s not waste no time

Let’s get it girl cause tonight it’s ours, yeah

While you walking everybody watching you closely

Hitting them high notes, nothing about you low key

Just let it register, body is unreal,

Was animated like Jessica …

2 wanna stab like a heart

Poneys do, just drive the drum and

Desert, your body like an oasis

The thirst is all real, you can see it all in they faces

Especially when you dropping oh, baby you gotta know

Girl you be killing them, filling them with all kind of hopes

Dude on the block that be selling dope

By the shoes and the watch you can tell he’s broke

So stop with the lies he telling for, you can see with a telescope

Tell him bringing home and glasses up like Sara Pallin knows

Love it in the club when the fellows go

But you hate that your hair gotta smell like smoke

They ask you what is hitting for

Nigga try to fix the prices, never dealt with chicks before

You ain’t got to licking license, do you down to live your life

If dude is down to split this …how you like to master active fly

Until you hit it right

Hey you girl with the tight upskirt,

In the back of the club where they light up purp

Known to drop it like a stripper, with her night off work

They make it rain and you stuffing dollars right in your, purse

Girl you’re outstanding

From the hips to your thighs,

It’s splendid how you standing out

Girl you’re outstanding,

So let’s not waste no time

Let’s get it girl cause tonight it’s ours, yeah

You just looking for somebody that can fill in the spot

Fill in the blank yeah Shawty you’ve been sipping a lot

Filling the drink as the sips to your head

You a race your regrets

Throw another shot back as you race to forget

Yeah the night just started, we both parted from ex love

Sleep won’t make you forget him baby but sex does

Swear you ain’t looking for no one night stand

But you prepared to risk it all for that one right man

Ask me, let’s have a toast to your future

I know you belong to

Leave your ex in the past, don’t let him haunt you

The last argument was world war 3, but follow me

I introduce you to that birge wazi

Talk is cheap, welcome to the all that show

You be my brigitte bardo, I’ll be your … ball d

Do what you came for, let me get that car dope

Have you ever made love in the lambo gallardo?

Girl you’re outstanding

From the hips to your thighs,

It’s splendid how you standing out

Girl you’re outstanding,

So let’s not waste no time

Let’s get it girl cause tonight it’s ours, yeah.
