| Lyrics: | [Mos Def]
Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd, lawd have mercy
All nice and peace and true, follow me
now, we say
Say Hi-Tek yes you're ruling hip-hop
Say J. Rawls yes you're ruling
hip-hop
Redefinition say you're ruling hip-hop
Say Black Star come to rock it
non...
Yo, from the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate
The whole and not
the half of it, vocab and not the math of it
Projectile that them blasted with, accurate
assassin shit
Me and Kweli close like, Bethlehem and Nazareth
After this you be pressing
rewind on top your master disk
Shining like an asterisk for all those that be
gatherin
Connectin like a roundhouse from the townhouse to the tenaments
Cause all my
Brooklyn residents, ? heavy regiments
Don't believe, here the evidence, where Brooklyn
WHAAAAAAAoohhhh
See that? Bound to take it all kid, believe that
From where they sellin tree
at, to where the police be at
Talib Kweli e-Kweli-ty yo tell them where we be at
[Talib Kweli]
Brooklyn New York City where they paint murals of Biggie
In cash we
trust cause it's ghetto fabulous, life look pretty
what a pity -- blunts is still fifty cents,
it's intense
Tree scents is dominant can't be covered with incense
My presence felt my name
is Kweli from the Eternal Reflection
People thinkin MC is short hand for Mis Conception
Let
me meditate, set it straight, came to the conclusion
that most of these cats is featherweight,
let me demonstrate
Walkin the streets is like battlin, be careful with your body
You must
know karate or think your soul is bulletproof like Sade
Stop actin like a bitch already, be a
visionary
And maybe you can see your name in the column of obituary
Third rate teacher
readin and talkin about, |
