Yo this is to the entire critical mass my nigga ty shawn (?) jah born and
Big 2.
This how we do check it out:
Yeah
Day light disappears from sight
Sun bleeds on the bricks
And brings forth the night
The red saranade
Give shade to backstreets
Heads adjust the eq
For the bass in they jeeps
Sound like the drum
Of a neighboring tribe
Absorb the vibe
Feels good close my eyes
And swept out the loot
By the crisp night air
I gotta stay aware
God there's demons out here
Adjust the headset
'fore i begin this trip
Insert the cassette
Press play on the deck
The horns echo
And i slip back in the zone
It's time for
The high plains man to roll
Yo i be dealing with menbut
Some say mellowdramat
Linguilly acrobat
Staying fluent in style
I work my way
Through your town
As the day goes down
I got observatory view
Of the sight and sounds
I feel completely out of place
In this wack rap race
I'm the type of black man
That need color and space
Heads be dealing with waste
They be moving in haste
Heard there's something to prove
Want to stare in ya face
Brothers want to compete
When there aint xxxx to win
They playing high post now
Unprepared for the end
They wanna profile they style
Like they got it so sweet
It ain't about what ya earn
It's about what you keep
Man passes by
In an aimless stroll
Barefoot in the street
As the night grows cold
In reply to our sorrow
He begins to dance
He claps his hands
Share an awkward glance
Chorus
Mos def:
Sun is falling. . . moon is rising. . .
Ces (in background):
A yes yes ya'll. . . a break a break ya'll . .
A feel free ya'll . . . and ya don't stop
Verse
Mos def:
Keep leaning to myself
Aint got to many friends
While they be lookin' for rocks
I be searchin' for gems
I got nothin' to lose
Might as well be a winner
Try to radiate the light
As the world get dimmer
Papa haven't ya heard.
There is power in words
I contemplate to elevate
The average man on the curb
Who be slangin' his rock
Catchin' hell from the cop
Got the world on his back
Being male being black
And it's crazy mad stress
The city don't rest
Can't maintain ya poise
But a goddam noise
So i'm watching my clock
Until the day drifts off
At night i reason with myself
So i can get xxxx off
Might be reading a book
I might be drinking the stout
I might be thinkin' it over
Might just need to be out
I might be tryin' to get money
I might be dealing with honeys
Might be geakin' off these devils
Cause they so fuckin' funny
Smokin' a stoge on the d-train chillin'
Checkin' the skyline off the watchtower buildin'
Images of black in the hills and the valleys
From the tight business men
To the gods in the valley (peace god)
A basehead with the moldy shades
A little girl with pretty eyes and her hair in braids
A mother rests on her seat
Rubs her feet
Pulls back into sleep
Thousand fathoms deep
(bah bah bah bah)
Chorus
Verse
Ces:
As the night time falls
I creep through the dark
I check out the scenes
In fort green park
Lost souls in empty memory lanes
No life to live
And no goals to gain
There's negatory provisions
That's all around us
It's systematic and frantic
The devil hounds us
Set to prevail i take back the night
Wake up my soul
Take back my life
I sit back
And i wait for the right time
But i'm already here
Its in the night time
Chorus
Verse
Mos def:
Moonlight starts to fade away
Sun creeps up the bricks
And brings forth the day
Sun is high and it's am again
A time for the killers to slay men again
I'm real short and brisk
Doing business things
I want this xxxx to be over
Got no time to play
So if you want to help
Then do me this favor
Cut the nonsense
And let me handle this paper
Time is money
And money is time
Ain't a damn thing free
So i must get mine
It's 10 to closin
Yo son got to jettin'
Headed back to the brack
To watch the sun set
Chorus
