Mos Def - History Lyrics

Send "History" ringtone to your cell

Kweli say "everybody act according to the season that they born in"

Some are the night some are the morning some at noon

Some in winter some in june it's all cool it's the natural

The science is a jewel for me and mines yours and you

Let's move tell you a little about mine yo

I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold

Celebrations were going on

Some were happy some were sad

Some felt bad from being good

Some felt good from being bad feelings pass and change

But they never leave they here to stay

Holiday holiday happy birthday teenage love the first cut run deep

Soul on flesh this is the brooklyn streets

Year of the ox seven and three m.d. the history

Every soul got one of these it's where you been and where you be

And without understanding you cannot proceed

Complete it start then it end then it just go round again again

Again and again brand new

Again and again so fresh

Again and again newness

I was born in the decade of decadence

Where they worship what they have ford was president

Do the math the war was ended

When the north vietnamese stormed the city of saigon

We was like "bye" we was gone let bygones be bygones

I'm gone spread love it's the brooklyn way

Where they hug you with the firearm side arm

Like new school clothes black star official

Smash when we do a show it's facts no mystery

I'm down with the crew like mussolini in italy

I rock with the roots like the giving tree

Powerful bigotry at work me and my people got history

These rappers dumb it down considerably

We get it poppin' like a hit chorus

The flow is historic they can't get rid of us

Ubiquitous and we lay the law like leviticus

Ten years ago we made history so they missing us

And don't call it a come back in particular

Even if it blend into ephemera

Or fade into peripheral transition of the minister's original

We're broadcast clear without diminishing

Black star stove top burning soul temperatures administers

Alkalines aminos and minerals it's sensuous

Served over dilla time signatures

It's miracle material remember it's right now foreverness
