[Mos Def]
Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd, lawd have
mercy
All nice and peace and true, follow me
now, we say
Say Hi-Tek yes you're ruling
hip-hop
Say J. Rawls yes you're ruling
hip-hop
Redefinition say you're ruling
hip-hop
Say Black Star come to rock it
non...

Yo, from the first to the last of
it, delivery is passionate
The whole and not
the half of it, vocab and not the math of
it
Projectile that them blasted with, accurate
assassin shit
Me and Kweli close like,
Bethlehem and Nazareth
After this you be
pressing rewind on top your master
disk
Shining like an asterisk for all those
that be gatherin
Connectin like a roundhouse
from the townhouse to the tenaments
Cause all
my Brooklyn residents, ? heavy regiments
Don't
believe, here the evidence, where Brooklyn
WHAAAAAAAoohhhh
See that? Bound to take it all
kid, believe that
From where they sellin tree
at, to where the police be at
Talib Kweli
e-Kweli-ty yo tell them where we be
at

[Talib Kweli]
Brooklyn New York City
where they paint murals of Biggie
In cash we
trust cause it's ghetto fabulous, life look
pretty
what a pity -- blunts is still fifty
cents, it's intense
Tree scents is dominant
can't be covered with incense
My presence felt
my name is Kweli from the Eternal
Reflection
People thinkin MC is short hand for
Mis Conception
Let me meditate, set it
straight, came to the conclusion
that most of
these cats is featherweight, let me
demonstrate
Walkin the streets is like
battlin, be careful with your body
You must
know karate or think your soul is bulletproof
like Sade
Stop actin like a bitch already, be
a visionary
And maybe you can see your name in
the column of obituary
Third rate teacher
readin and talkin about,
"I knew he'd amount
to nothin"
Neighbors like, "He was the quiet
type,
who'd have thought they was
frontin?"
Talkin +Loud+ like you in RCA, get
carted away
with body parts and treys, what a
way to start your day
Yo it's
like

Chorus: Mos Def and Talib
Kweli

One two three
Mos Def and Talib
Kweli
We came to rock it on to the
tip-top
Best alliance in hip-hop,
wyahhhhh
I said one two three
It's kind of
dangerous to be a emcee
They shot Tupac and
Biggie
Too much violence in hip-hop,
wyahhhhh

[Mos Def]
I said Manhattan
keep on makin it (Bo!), Brooklyn keep on takin it
(Bo!)
So relax we're takin it back, Redhook
where we're livin at
Plenty cats be strugglin
not hustlin and bubblin
It ain't about
production and -- what else we discussin?
When
the cock crows, my crop grows, enable me to rock
flows
Strivin for perfection ever since I was
a snot-nosed
COLOSSAL, true original b-boy
apostle
Standin on the rooftop with the, Zulu
gestapo

[Talib Kweli]
You think you the
shit
somebody in the wings'll force you to
quit
It could be your crew or click
or some
random kid you smoked buddha with
Consider me
the entity within the industry without a
history
of spittin the epitome, of stupidity
-- livin my life
expressin my liberty, it
gotta be done properly
My name is in the
middle of e-Kweli-ty
People follow me and
other cats they hear him flow
And assume I'm
the real one with lyrics like I'm
Cyrano

[Mos Def]
Still sippin wishin
well water, imported, from Pluto
Three hundred
and sixty milliliters for all our believers
In
miles or kilometers, most cats, cannot proceed
us
in the jungle with the leaders we the lions
you the +cheaters+
A cypher, will complete us
if we come through your receivers
You can play
us and repeat us and then take us home and read
us
(line for line) Good Jesus, Mos Def and
Kweli just
make a pussy freeze up, thinkin we
will ease up

Chorus
