(talib kwali):
Yo i was sold to a sick european by a rich african battle-man
Middle passages i can't go back again.
Battlin' years who denied history's lies
While mystery's wive's watching with misty eyes
Watching they niggas be beaten visciously
Battling this world is north america
Ran by the river only stopping to pray.
Change my predators:
Terrorists with ediquiette who vote and kill they president
Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent.
Ain't no hesitation involved a nation dissolved
While we sit back waitin' to evolve.
Those who'd trade they freedom for protection deserve neither.
Fuck a name xxxx tradition religion you learn jesus.
Turn the other cheek inherit the earth just stay meek.
Fuck the way you speak you try to walk they chop off your feet.
Fast forward to 2003; niggas beef.
The psychology of choosin the slaves run deep.

Chorus:
Hell yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
What's beef?
Hell yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
That's beef
Hell yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Its always your own people sometimes it's your own people

(mos def):
Yo beef is not what jay said to nas
Beef is when working niggas can't find jobs.
So they try to find niggas to rob
Try to find bigger guns so they can finish the job.
Beef is when a crack-kid can't find moms
Cause they in a pine box or locked behind bars.
Beef ain't the summer jam on hot ninety-seven.
Beef is the cocaine and aids epidemics.
Beef don't come with a radio edit.
Beef is when the judge's callin you defendant.
Beef it come with a long jail sentence
Handed down to you in a few short minutes.
Beef is when your girl come through for a visit
Talkin bout her pregnant by some other nigga.
Beef is high blood pressure and bad credit;
Need a loan for your home and you're too broke to get it.
And all your little kids is doin' is gettin bigger
You try to not raise them around the wild niggas.
Beef is when a gold-digger got your seed in her
A manicured hand out like "pay me nigga
Or i'm tellin your wife
And startin up some foul rumors that'll ruin your life."
Beef is when a gangster ain't doing it right
And other gangsters then decide to do with his life.
Beef is not what these famous niggas would do in the mic
Beef is what george bush would do in a fight. (that's right)
Beef is not what ja said to fifty.
Beef is world and earth(?) not being here with me.
When a soldier ends his life with his own gun
Beef is trying to figure out what to tell his son.
Beef is oil prices and geopolitics;
Beef is iraq the west bank and gaza strip.
Some beef is big and some beef is small
But what y'all call beef is no beef at all.
Beef is real life happenin every day
And it's real-er than the songs that you gave to k-slay.
This has been a black star p.s.a.
From mos def pretty(?) placo black dante
From the black star embassy b to the k!
