You are the one
You are the one Other brothers just don't know You got to feel me on this one man So real I'm so sin-serious about it, you know? I know, I know more than a few is gonna relate So much more than a few (fa-really real) So much more (on the really real!) When it started I knew it was trouble But you know me Them "hard an' e'rythings" can't hold me I need some shit straight out the movies -DRAMA! Warm to the touch, hot mama You put me all in like launch jeans and scama You was Mrs. Mine So fine Went from "we gonna conquer it all" To "nigga I'ma see you in court" I woulda never thought (damn) I guess I better think again (you know?) OK, now the shit is really sinking in We ain't just divorced We ain't even fucking friends Cause in the end it was all about the ends But fuck that I know it gotta be more to it Held up with bitter hate with crosses all through it And when I looked, what did I see? You on the other end crying like me Expression on your face like, "how could this be?" That's what I'm asking, "what the fuck happened?" How could all the magic and passion just vanish (c'mon) Went from outsanding, to makin' me shout, "Dammit!" Can't explain the changes, behavior's is outlandish Now I'm just stuck in the road feeling stranded I'm in the dark wishing for the answers On some ol' "Biggie gimme one more chance" shit When we met your face so brown Ya ass so round, of course I'm so down Wish I knew then what the fuck I know now Couldn't read the signs in the road: "SLOW DOWN!" I'm too deep in the road now Got me pulling over getting smoked out Fighting tears that I can't hold down Can't believe it, this fucka' got me weeping I keep it a secret so my friends won't peep it (live man?) But late in the evening I'm up, my chest heaving I'm reaching in the dark and I'm looking for the reason (WHY!) Did our love have to die? You and I were so fucking fly Can't get it off my mind The things that made me smile now make me cry You are the one FUCK YOU!! I wish we never met, I wish we never kissed I wish we never touched (I swear to God) I wish I didn't love you so much I wish I could forget how feel, how you f- (Damn) That's a lie The shit that made me smile, now make me cry You are the one You're the one! FUCK YOU!! Sometime I wish we'd come back Man, I wish we'd come back No lie For real Fuck that No, for real It's a dangerous necessity, it's a world famous mystery Love That's it Peace. |

[Wordsworth] Yo...get it...yo Yo, we fortified live, supportin' allies The wack is tryin' to shorten our lives, it sorta waters my eyes But here is some'n the cryin' talk about The verse on that cassette you and cousin fought about That led to God and Satan's fallin' out Encourage the liquor for those who ain't here that you pourin' out On 3-way, your parents, preacher and spouse called my house Revive or ruin, my theories of mics Sony or Aiwa, black or white, I fit in all stereotypes Search for a cast to plot, I make you a laughin' stock So shook, I could walk a half a block and feel the aftershocks Rain of acid drops, seek some help Now don't rewind, get it the first time, Shouldn't have to repeat myself Eternally verbally, I have numbers, succumb to time outs In rhyme bouts you'll dial 9, just to get a line out Known fact or factors and non-rappers fractured Results in more cast appearances than a hundred actors Emcees I'm testin' like diseases injected in gerbils Wordsworth, Kweli, Hi-Tek, Reflection Eternal..what... [Talib Kweli] My style high life like Fonz when I burn heads like a conk Cuz niggaz front, when their chances get slim like Pharoahe Monch Thinkin' they shits is heavy when they light like ilumination Intellectual masturbation with premature ejaculation I'm comin' cleaner than vaccinations My fascination with character assassination, Got these niggaz burnin' like sensation We keep it hot like matches and on lock like latches Wack emcees get they microphones snatched like Lee patches So YOU GO! To every wack muthafucka that you know (Scram...) My lyrics they get up in your genes/jeans like Parasucos So there's no mystery about the father, niggaz is hot and bothered Like the bitches that they are, takin' pictures with stars And got 'em open, but after they little hopes and dreams get broken Me and Hi-Tek, we live long and prosper like Vulcans Think I'm jokin'? We both got sons, we make cream and break dreams See through the fake schemes, wipin' your slate clean Like a squeegee, we be lightin' shit up like phosphorus Turnin' flamboyant niggaz anonymous, depressin' to optimus You stoppin' us is preposterous, like an androgenous masohganist You pickin' the wrong time, steppin' to me when I'm in my prime like Optimus Transformin', from rookie of the year to veteran Hip-hop is big business like Con Edison or medicine But fuck it, they gonna let us in, or else we rush the door I got to many reasons, save your 'whys' and 'what fors' CHORUS: [Kweli] This is twice inna lifetime so I'm lettin' you know (let 'em know, yo!)

Words & Punch, make rappers march like the third month I build with friends, lyrically spit gems Call me diamond, cuz I'm your girl's best friend Emcees are born losers, alcoholic abusers I'll go on the radio and start a gay rumor And then I'll talk about how the crowd tried to boo ya Label shoot ya, stressed out with brain tumors My gat claps, 50% of the wack Take it back to real rap, Krylons wit' the fat cap Get robbed for your ASCAP, leave you inside Fortified live, reppin' NY 'til I die! [Mos Def] Black body radiation situation that we workin' wit' My verb exists enlisted by the bogeys campin' services The purpose is, make you go and purchase this, no nervousness We are, hot like black tar, Black Star with emergerence Superlative, you fabricated like the word absurditive I'm rockin this from here to where the purges live To Brooklyn where the merchants live Next door to the murderers And bourbon is a elder man's medicinal alternative My memory is furnished with, back streets to back seats to fat Jeeps Legendary athletes who play by the trash heap My crew wasn't that deep, but beef we didn't act sweet Treadin' on these stompin grounds you better catch some black feet Flashy, it was between DeKalb and Pulasky Off the meter like an out of borough taxi They run your pockets fastly, black and nasty, nappy and crafty And SWAT are either sittin' in Clinton or Kaksaki Man Rudolph can screw off! You too soft to stop us You and your coppers should see some foot doctors Got your burnt chest popped up, but keep your guns cocked up Cuz all them cats that you knocked up and always gon' be locked up Hide yaself like Donna Summer, another number one And comin' from the underground, this is how it's comin' down Baby let me run it down, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jane Doe, Punch, Wor.. umm..E! Excuse me! Just ate another emcee! Sometimes that's just how it be Partner wash you down with green tea and some lime We like the five on the fist, fortified organized like DIS! |

Quick question...
You ever felt like the realest nigga alive? Felt too pretty or powerful to die? Tell the truth... You ever felt ugly enough to cry? Have you ever begged for mercy? Have you ever wished you died? Tell the truth... Have you ever taken pride in the crime? Been too hungry to break down or hide? Felt low down dirty? Or super duper high? Or contemplated murder, robbery, or suicide? Tell the truth... Taken medicine for trouble in your mind? Or taken down a number? For taking up a scheme? I made her wild, beautiful take her 'til she skeet? Take her to the penthouse or take her to the skreet? Tell the Truth... So the waterman he take it to the beat And I take it to the 'mic So we takin' what we like Take it to your neck We gon' take it to the bank Triple X, Killa K Black we take it to your face Like, G..."BANK BANK" [Chorus] Gangsta, birth sign is danger It's like thug is the drug That make 'em fall in love When love don't love nobody BANK, BANK Gangsta, star sign is danger It's like thug is the drug Ready rock, steady pump Man they leanin' and they fiendin' Cuz they can't get enough... The Dee-Jay play this song in the dance And every buggy on the block got the tune on blast The TV is like the radio with visuals too So shiny, so gutter, mean moody and cool Tell the truth... They might be doing things that you wanna' do You fantasize as they be living it through The big home with the beautiful view You have a swim in the pool, and get fresh And take a spin in the coupe Tell the truth... You probably want to feel the world in your palm While hold a gun in your hand And make 'em know you a star Tell the truth... And there's those who probably already are They well known in they zone Or they town or they block Tell the truth... Then there's the rest who are usually not And the heavy dose of thug feel like all that they got So they ready to rock...R-r-rock... Ha, ha, heh [Chorus] Gangsta, birth sign is danger It's like thug is the drug That make 'em fall in love When love don't love nobody [Gunshots, screaming] Gangsta, star sign is danger It's like thug is the drug Ready rock, steady pump Man they leanin' and they fiendin' Cuz they can't get enough...

Yo Dee (What?) Come on (Yeah..) What? What? Come on (Yeah) "Give me the fortune, keep the fame," said my man Louis I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye He looked at me, he thought about it Was like, "I'm clueless, why?" The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow And so tomorrow comin' later than usual Waitin' on someone to pity us While we findin' beauty in the hideous They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell You know what I mean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills Or is it the mindstate that's ill? Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build Over money and religion there's more blood to spill The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal What's the deal? A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke But my language universal they be recitin' my quotes While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth Survival tactics means, bustin' gats to prove you hard Your firearms are too short to box with God Without faith, all of that is illusionary Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary [M.D.] Not strong [T.K.] Only aggressive [M.D.] Not free [T.K.] We only licensed [M.D.] Not compassionate, only polite [T.K.] Now who the nicest? [M.D.] Not good but well behaved [T.K.] Chasin' after death so we can call ourselves brave? [M.D.] Still livin' like mental slaves [both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice [both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice [Mos Def] Yo, I'm sure that everybody out listenin' agree That everything you see ain't really how it be A lot of jokers out runnin' in place, chasin the style Be a lot goin' on beneath the empty smile Most cats in my area be lovin' the hysteria Synthesized surface conceals the interior America, land of opportunity, mirages and camouflages More than usually -- speakin' loudly, sayin' nothin' You confusin' me, you losin' me Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin' glass Walkin' the street, wonderin' who they be lookin' past Lookin' gassed with them imported designer shades on Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on Same song, just remixed, different arrangement Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slave ship Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this Screamin' brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit Suppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick That they been runnin' across stars through all the time with I find it's distressin', there's never no in-between We either niggaz or Kings We either bitches or Queens The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts Long barrel automatics released in short bursts The length of black life is treated with short worth Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary That type of illin' that be fillin' up the cemetery This life is temporary but the soul is eternal Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive Not free, we only licensed Not live, we just excitin' Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin' Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey most of the things that we think, do, or say We chasin' after death just to call ourselves brave But everyday, next man meet with the grave I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy I'm tryin' to live life in the sight of God's memory Like that y'all [Mos Def] A lot of people don't understand the true criteria of things Can't just accept the appearance Have to get the true essence [Talib Kweli] They ain't lookin' around [M.D.] Not strong [T.K.] Only aggressive [M.D.] Not free [T.K.] We only licensed [M.D.] Not compassionate, only polite [T.K.] Now who the nicest?

At the starting of the week At summit talks you'll hear them speak It's only Monday Negotiations breaking down See those leaders start to frown It's sword and gun day Tomorrow never comes until it's too late You could be sitting taking lunch The news will hit you like a punch It's only Tuesday You never thought we'd go to war After all the things we saw It's April Fools' day Tomorrow never comes until it's too late Tomorrow never comes until it's too late You hear a whistling overhead Are you alive or are you dead? It's only Thursday You feel a shaking on the ground A billion candles burn around Is it your birthday? Tomorrow never comes until it's too late Tomorrow never comes until it's too late Make tomorrow come I think it's too late |

Osaka, raise your hands, where you at? ?*Mos Def says something in Japanese I don't understand*? DJ Krush Mos Def on the touch, we let it fly I send my, salaam to my, entire squad Meiso hard, wherever you are, stay on your job Strugglin hard, to overcome the perils of life We writin rhymes on enemy lines to shine light Stay in meditation to keep the head right Spreadin wings like heavenly things, we take flight Flight flight flight flight flight flight flight, ha ha Everything gon be alright (2X) And you got to believe (repeat 2X) Everything gon be alright (2X) I said you got to believe (2X) Yo bust it baby Me and Krush politickin buildin on this money mission ? Somethin so I had to stop and listen It's time for ever tickin, my gift for-ever thinkin I'm tryin to get mine cause Son it's here for the gettin Allah's provision, will help us in the providential My pad and pencil, will transcribe the elemental The raw essential, the South bound resedential The pure and simple, to resonate in your mental I flash a dimple, my ? Shine like precious metal Left the rah rah livin alone, about to settle Fast act tryin to go slow down, and save your petrol Cause the beat don't stop, like yellow cabs in the metro Rejoice your verse to Earth, as the verbs connects This is a daily operation like birth to death And I burst the breath, yep, as a so-called vet I've orchestrated designs while they slept, quiet as kept Everything that you heard in advance is just a glance Of the landscape, furnish we ?Crops? And props till Sunsets and ?Tree-dots, back jobs? Of pure skill At night, I do right, to excite, what truth reveal Got to believe, that the Most High I see Every degree, of this three-see-ix-to-e We maintain Son and carry on officially From troubled projects to the shores of Tripoli I speak prolifically, I write reciprocally Transmit upliftedly, it sounds terrific G Allah has gifted me, with great ability To speak to my beloved, and make em all love it Refined rugged, a product of the ghetto public Allah is the King of the world, we just subjects (2X) Allah is the King, Allah is the King and you know Everything's gon be alight (2X) And you got to believe (repeat 2X) You know the vibe baby Everything's gon be alright (2X) (repeat 2X) Yo bust it baby |

Absolutely, Flaco!
Fresh and I'm fresh and my fresh just get fresher, Diamonds in production glow greater than the pressure, The none turn to some and the some turn to moire, The more tun to many and the many turn to all, Shoutin' on my nothing like it's nothing at all, To not knowin' what ya got til it got gone Same song, new time signature, New brand hustle with the long time arithmetic, Bey, from the preacher man, number man, understand Curves and sliders, overs and under-hands, Black Batman, knock 'em out the park, Pitch, quiet fire sniper not the one you tryna bow with, Block work when the block turn jobless, And triple beams ain't the best means to weigh your potions Smarts! Get smart with your smartness, Too busy surviving to argue 'bout Darwin, Darling! [Chorus] See me, huh, a pretty dancer Need sugar, win Ali, ? pretty dance See me do it, Ready, steady, step it out Big swing swing with bangers and thing thingers Soul glow zinging all over the ring finger Yo yo! Don't play me so close Make me tell you something that you ain't really ready to know Fight camp you was in top form, Fight night, damn you ain't breakin' popcorn Aw man word bond? Word is bond! Ultimatum Lights off, smelling salts, resuscitate 'em I don't underrate 'em son, I don't nothing-reate 'em, All I do is pop pop, frustrate 'em Exacerbate 'em, sharp shoot, lacerate 'em Steady hustle, shuffle shuffle, fascinate 'em Ecstatic nature black imagination activated True and living elevated, you are rockin' with the greatest Ecstatic nature black imagination activated True and living elevated, you are rockin' with the greatest It's like a dove from up above [Chorus: x2] Skip, move Skip, move Skip, move Skip, move (Fly like a dove from up above) The greatest See me do it!

Shatter, shatter
Believe when I tell you I never meant to break your heart May God pick up the pieces of dreams that fall apart Forgive me and forget me, make a brand new start Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye I know, you know, I know, you know that love is danger Criminal minded, gangster of love Charms in your arms, your gun is wild warm Worn, bang bang, shoot 'em up Tips in your clip, click clack, use 'em up Bad intentions and a very good shot X marks the spot where you cross the heart Candlelight vigil on my memory block Commemorate the date where the bomb got dropped Love, steady war no more Put your weapon away, quit collecting the slain She said, "You're right, I don't wanna fight I just like the fire and the flashing lights" Believe me when I tell you I never meant to break your heart May God pick up the pieces of dreams that fall apart Forgive me and forget me, make a brand new start Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye I know, you know that I know, you know that love is danger If you are to fall in love Then where should you stand to begin with? And when the falling's done How bad should you plan to get injured? And if you land on your feet Do it count as a fall or a jump? And do it feel like a fall when the hands that pushed you Were holding you up? Close encounter, got you wide open Heartache got your boom box going Music and vocals, lonely and soulful You're back in the scene where your sweet dreams are so true Believe me when I tell you I never meant to break your heart May God pick up the pieces of dreams that fall apart Forgive me and forget me, make a brand new start Don't blink your eyes and say goodbye Cause I know, you know that I know, you know what love is Cowboys and girls, oh baby I remember when we used to play Cowboys and girls, oh baby I remember when we used to play Cowboys and girls, oh baby I remember when we used to play Cowboys and girls, shoot 'em up, bang bang Shatter, shatter, cowboys and girls Shoot 'em up, bang bang We at the movies and you're a star, get down |

The murder of a teenage life
Fire from the cold steel The heat from the brights The temperature of flesh and the shortness of breath The murder of a teenage threat The aroma of sesamilia Dollar Superstar Skama like a new cocaine tobacco leaf Ecstatic tabernists fire water and freaks The murder of a teenage chief My easy speaking is as easy as it seems to be Hungry belly jamma busts off easily Balloon bang. POP! Hot as a bang spot in Bangkok Colder than a pimp glock Aim shot, the frame drops Pressure pushed him to the earth like a rain drop Take not life in vein And how the preacher was saying Remember! Anyways they laid him in a stray box Dark suit and gray socks The neighborhood is all distraught Candles lit the stoop at the park Where the family and students are Confused, in awe They gape into each others arms IT'S MURDER! New absence from a mothers arm Even the warmth from the mother's arms Couldn't keep her son from harm From standing where the gun was drawn Over come, done and done. He's gone… MURDER! Shells fell like a bell that rung Blood bursts, body temperature fell and plunged And by the time it took the medics to come The breath eased out of his lungs And his soul eased out of the slums And the voice eased out of the drums The sirens through their ears, they sung MURDER! Telephone wire, sneakers hung MURDER! For the Black and young MURDER!!!!!!!!!!! And the Aves they from I am from the block the PRESIDENT DID NOT CAMPAIGN ON Where the dollar that the working poor slave for is made on Where hustlers stretch the yay long And hustle hard for an outpost to trade on Flip it over and make more Where the blocks are yellow taped off Where the young blood is trained on Obese to the Fakesoft Where the pressure just stays on But the lights and the heat don't The place where you witness the true power of street folk And that's where I'm coming from people High post, low key Eighth, o-z, and kilo Law man, dope man Adversary, amigo Preacher man, pimp hand Both folding their C-notes A Black Fist clutching deliverance for the People Young hand reach out, strong hand reach in Slap the devil's hand to make the fucker stop reaching. |

If Marvin was alive now, wow What would I say to him? Where could I start? How could I explain to him? I know the minor world would probably look strange to him Would he feel like today had a place for him? Global imprisonment, sickness, indifference When he said, 'Save the babies,' was we listenin'? When he said, 'Mercy, mercy,' did he really know That decades later we'd still be killin' folks? Or did he hope that we would realize That we the first, the son of Earth The moon and stars, the great beyond We black and proud, we brave and strong We raise it up, we quiet storm, forever fresh And keepin' on Ha!

To build landmarks here as evidence Night time, spirit shook my temperment To write rhymes that portray this sentiment We live the now for the promise of the infinite We live the now for the promise of the inifinite And we believe in the promise (love, love *repeated*) Yes yes y'all and we don't stop because Chorus I got love, L-O-V-E and I be Love, L-O-V-E to MC Get love, L-O-V-E and I be Love, L-O-V-E I MC Get love, L-O-V-E and I be Love, L-O-V-E to MC Get love, L-O-V-E and I be The M-O-S-D-E-F-initely Check it out y'all, feel me out y'all Feel me out y'all, hear my out y'all Check me, out y'all Feel me out y'all, check it out y'all Now hear out (bounce) y'all Check me out y'all, feel me out y'all Check me out y'all, feel me out y'all Feel me out y'all (hear me bounce y'all) Check me out y'all, check it out y'all My folks said they was in love when they had me I take they love they made me wit to make rhymes and beats (Can you feel?)

Bright moments...
Bright moments always come back Vivid. The 5th great was epic citywide test pressure The pre-crack era! Mr. Schollmen, what a prick, attitude matches wardrobe, uglier then sin. This is bed stuy 82'.. 9th floor 3 tiny rooms one view. Buck-town, Roosevelt house they green grass is green our green grass is brown. Shots rang my phone wasn't touchtone a heavy beef in the street ET had to flee grey heavens! good grief! hungry bellies! bright gold on they teeth! The windows on the Ave look like sad eyes they fix their sharp gaze on you when you pass by and if you dare to stand, you can see em cry you can watch em scowl feel them prowl wall and study every inch about you fast math measuring what you amount to The laughter, the screams! the numeral, the song of Psalms the book of dreams! ends don't meet where the arms can't reach mean streets even when its free it ain't cheap. on going saga, terminal diagnosis, basic survival requires super heroics. No space in the budget for a cake it's when you gotta fly by night to save the day crash-landings routinely happen some survive, others never rise from the ashes. watching asphalt and observing the Sabbath. creates an ecstatic and there you have it from teenage love praying in tongue strange fruit, batty boots and native drums from hence I come so here we go signs and wonders all along the road some lies open some lies close some stretchers role with no lies at all. some riders don't know what they riding for hands on the wheel and their mind is gone wherever you ride, whatever your name, this road called life is a beautiful thing And we are alive in amazing times delicate hearts, diabolical minds revelations, hatred, love and war. and more and more and more and more and more of less than ever before it's just too much more for your mind to absorb It's scary like hell, but there's no doubt we can't be alive in no time but... NOW!!! |
