All nice and decent crew follow me now we say[00:00:10]

Say J Rawls yes you're ruling hip-hop[00:00:17]
Redefinition say you're ruling hip-hop[00:00:19]
Say Black Star come to rock it non [00:00:21]
Yo from the first to the last of it delivery is passionate[00:00:25]
The whole and not the half of it vocab and not the math of it[00:00:28]
Projectile that them blasted with accurate assassin sh*t[00:00:30]
Me and Kweli close like Bethlehem and Nazareth[00:00:33]
After this you be pressing rewind on top your master disk[00:00:35]
Shining like an asterisk for all those that be gatherin[00:00:38]
Connectin like a roundhouse from the townhouse to the tenaments[00:00:41]
Cause all my Brooklyn residents heavy regiments[00:00:43]
Don't believe here the evidence where Brooklyn WHAAAAAAAoohhhh[00:00:45]
See that Bound to take it all kid believe that[00:00:49]
From where they sellin tree at to where the police be at[00:00:51]
Talib Kweli e-Kweli-ty yo tell them where we be at[00:00:54]
Brooklyn New York City where they paint murals of Biggie[00:00:56]
In cash we trust cause it's ghetto fabulous life look pretty[00:00:59]
What a pity -- blunts is still fifty cents it's intense[00:01:02]
Tree scents is dominant can't be covered with incense[00:01:05]
My presence felt my name is Kweli from the Eternal Reflection[00:01:07]
People thinkin MC is short hand for Mis Conception[00:01:09]
Let me meditate set it straight came to the conclusion[00:01:12]
That most of these cats is featherweight let me demonstrate[00:01:15]
Walkin the streets is like battlin be careful with your body[00:01:17]
You must know karate or think your soul is bulletproof like Sade[00:01:20]
Stop actin like a b**ch already be a visionary[00:01:23]
And maybe you can see your name in the column of obituary[00:01:25]
Third rate teacher readin and talkin about [00:01:28]
"I knew he'd amount to nothin"[00:01:30]
Neighbors like "He was the quiet type [00:01:31]
Who'd have thought they was frontin "[00:01:33]
Talkin Loud like you in RCA get carted away[00:01:34]
With body parts and treys what a way to start your day[00:01:36]
Yo it's like[00:01:39]
One two three[00:01:40]
Mos Def and Talib Kweli[00:01:41]
We came to rock it on to the tip-top[00:01:43]
Best alliance in hip-hop wyahhhhh[00:01:46]
I said one two three[00:01:49]
It's kind of dangerous to be a emcee[00:01:52]
They shot Tupac and Biggie[00:01:54]
Too much violence in hip-hop wyahhhhh[00:01:57]
I said Manhattan keep on makin it (Bo ) Brooklyn keep on takin it (Bo )[00:02:01]
So relax we're takin it back Redhook where we're livin at[00:02:04]
Plenty cats be strugglin not hustlin and bubblin[00:02:06]
It ain't about production and -- what else we discussin [00:02:08]
When the cock crows my crop grows enable me to rock flows[00:02:10]
Strivin for perfection ever since I was a snot-nosed[00:02:13]
COLOSSAL true original b-boy apostle[00:02:17]
Standin on the rooftop with the Zulu gestapo[00:02:19]
You think you the sh*t[00:02:21]
Somebody in the wings'll force you to quit[00:02:22]
It could be your crew or click[00:02:24]
Or some random kid you smoked buddha with[00:02:26]
Consider me the entity within the industry without a history[00:02:27]
Of spittin the epitome of stupidity -- livin my life[00:02:30]
Expressin my liberty it gotta be done properly[00:02:34]
My name is in the middle of e-Kweli-ty[00:02:36]
People follow me and other cats they hear him flow[00:02:38]
And assume I'm the real one with lyrics like I'm Cyrano[00:02:41]
Still sippin wishin well water imported from Pluto[00:02:43]
Three hundred and sixty milliliters for all our believers[00:02:47]
In miles or kilometers most cats cannot proceed us[00:02:49]
In the jungle with the leaders we the lions you the cheaters[00:02:51]
A cypher will complete us if we come through your receivers[00:02:54]
You can play us and repeat us and then take us home and read us[00:02:56]
(line for line) Good Jesus Mos Def and Kweli just[00:03:00]
Make a p**sy freeze up thinkin we will ease up[00:03:03]
One two three[00:03:05]
Mos Def and Talib Kweli[00:03:06]
We came to rock it on to the tip-top[00:03:09]
Best alliance in hip-hop wyahhhhh[00:03:11]
I said one two three[00:03:15]
It's kind of dangerous to be a emcee[00:03:17]
They shot Tupac and Biggie[00:03:19]
Too much violence in hip-hop wyahhhhh[00:03:22]
