[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 gathering

Connecting like a roundhouse from the townhouse to the tenements

Cause all my Brooklyn residents known as heavy regiments

Don't believe here the evidence where Brooklyn WHAAAAAAAoohhhh

See that? Bound to take it all kid believe that

From where they selling 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 thinking MC is short hand for "misconception"

Let me meditate set it straight came to the conclusion

That most of these cats is featherweight let me demonstrate

Walking the streets is like battling 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 reading and talking about

"I knew he'd amount to nothing"

Neighbors like "He was the quiet type

Who'd have thought they was fronting?"

Talking loud like you on RCA get carted away

With body parts and trays what a way to start your day

Yo it's like

[Hook: Mos Def and Talib Kweli]

One two three

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it on to the tip-top

Best alliance in hip-hop wyahhhhh

I said one two three

It's kind of dangerous to be a emcee

They shot 2Pac and Biggie

Too much violence in hip-hop wyahhhhh

[Mos Def]

I said Manhattan keep on making it (Bo!) Brooklyn keep on taking it (Bo!)

So relax we're taking it back Red Hook where we're living at

Plenty cats be struggling not hustling and bubbling

It ain't about production and -- what else we discussing?

When the cock crows my crop grows enable me to rock flows

Striving for perfection ever since I was a snot-nosed

COLOSSAL true original b-boy apostle

Standing on the rooftop with the Zulu gestapo

[Talib Kweli]

You think you the shit

Somebody in the wings'll force you to quit

It could be your crew or click

Or some random kid you smoked buddha with

Consider me the entity within the industry without a history

Of spitting the epitome of stupidity -- living my life

Expressing my liberty it gotta be done properly

My name is in the middle of equality

People follow me and other cats they hear him flow

And assume I'm the real one with lyrics like I'm Cyrano

[Mos Def]

Still sipping wishing well water imported from Pluto

Three hundred and sixty milliliters for all our believers

In miles or kilometers most cats cannot proceed us

In the jungle with the leaders we the lions you the cheaters

A cypher will complete us if we come through your receivers

You can play us and repeat us and then take us home and read us

(line for line) Good Jesus Mos Def and Kweli just

Make a pussy freeze up thinking we will ease up

[Hook]
