[intro - mos def]
Wha-wha-wha wha-wha wha-wha wha-wha/
Wo-aaaahhhhhhh!/
One two three/
Mos def and talib kweli/
We came to rock it on to the tip-top/
Best alliance in hip-hop wo-ahh/
I said one two tree blackstar shine eternally/
We came to rock it on to the tip-top/
And hi-tek make the beats drop wo-ahh/

[verse 1 - talib kweli]
Re:definition turning your play into a tragedy/
Exhibit level degree on the mic passionately/
Niggaz is sweet so i bet if i bit i'd get a cavity/
Livin' to get high you ain't flyer than gravity/
We die hard like the battery/
Done in the back of me by the mad mc/
Who think imitation is the highest form of flattery/
Actually don't be mad at me/
I had to be the one to break it to you/
You get kicked into obscurity like judo no menudo/
'cause you pseudo tryin' to compete with reality like xerox/
Towards destruction you spiraling like hairlocks/
Wipe them teardrops/
Chasing stars in your eyes/
Playing games with your lives/
Now the wives is widows soakin' up pillows/
Weepin like willows/
Still mo' blacks is dyin'/
Kids ain't livin they tryin'/
"how to make a slave" by willie lynch is still applyin/
Regardless the mos is one of my closest partners/
Rockin ever since before prince was called the artist/
Rocker before funkmaster flex was rockin starter/
When 'pac and biggie was still cool before they was martyrs/
Life or death if i'm choosin with every breath i'm enhancin'/
Stop there comes a time when you can't run/

[verse 2 - mos def]
Lyrically handsome/
Call collect a king's ransom/
Jams i write soon become the ghetto anthem/
Way out like bruce wayne's mansion/
Move like a phantom/
You'll talk about me to your grandsons/
Cats who claimin they hard be mad fag/
So i run through 'em like flood water through sandbags/
Competition is mad what i got they can't have/
Sinkin' they ship like moby dick did ahab/
Son i'm way past the minimum/
It's a verb millenium/
My rap's the holy gas in your bag like palestinians/
Ancient abyssinia sure to hold the gideon/
Official b-boy gentlemen/
Long term never the interim/
Born inside the winter wind day after december 10/
These simpletons they mentionin the synonym for feminine/
Sweeter than some cinnamon from danish rings by entenmann's/
Rush up on adrenaline/
They get they asses sent to them/
(gentlemen) you got a tenement/
Well then assemble it!/
Leave your unit tremblin like herds of movin elephant/
Intelligent embellishment/
Follow for your element from flatbush settlement/
Did posseses melanin/
Hotter than tales of crack peddlin/
Makin em "woop" like blue gelatin/
Swing like duke ellington/
Broader than barrington levy/
Believe me/
The hot oppresion rent who burn down your chief teepee/
You see me?/

[outro - mos def]
One two three/
Mos def and talib kweli/
We came to rock it on to the tip-top/
Best alliance in hip-hop wo-ahh/
I said one two three/
Black star shine eternally/
We came to rock it on to the tip-top/
Because we rulin hip-hop/
Yes we is rulin hip-hop/
Talib kweli is rulin hip-hop/
Say we black star/
We rulin hip-ho-ah-ahh-ah-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh/
Woahhhh!/
