So what you doing
|
I'm feeling very well
|
Rocking this from Brooklyn, this is my vibration
|
Make you have sensation, when you hear the jam
|
All you want to say is happiness yo
|
|
Sometimes I get a feeling inside it's like (what)
|
It's something type of hard to explain it's like (what)
|
I got a good vocab and such but Ock
|
Somethings still remain out of touch- it's like
|
Your very first kiss or- it's like
|
Like a new pair of kicks or
|
You know what I'm saying Ock
|
It's just the vide
|
I can't articulate it
|
It's better demonstrated
|
And when it's integrated
|
Then things get rennovated
|
It's deeply contemplated
|
Before I operated
|
My steady advance will keep the jams populated
|
|
Okay okay I'm ready, (alright) I'm feeling good
|
Beats by 88 Key, Mos Def the emcee
|
The HOTtest entry, inside your benzy
|
Yo they got digitals now, true
|
That's old school
|
Don't run no new game, I like the old rules- like
|
Early to sleep and early to wake
|
You keep your long on money and short on mistakes
|
I speak on beat breaks, my jams is keep sakes
|
So recite that (cite that)
|
I said recite that (CITE that)
|
Cause when I'm laying down here baby it's tight phat
|
When I react that ain't no army that can strike back
|
And if they do they catching more than the eye jab (poof)
|
A lot of cats like to bite, I copyright that
|
So when you hear it on your box you say "I like that"
|
Send salaams to Abstract, is this the right track?
|
We staying, underground like the NTA
|
Be controller of the rock like the NBA
|
I remember days when supper was the empty tray
|
But I still held it down for mines an-y-way
|
See I still held it down for mines an-y-way
|
See I still held it down for mines an-y-way
|
|
It's how we do say,
|
Hey man what you doing
|
Feeling very well
|
Rocking this from Brooklyn
|
This is my vibration
|
To make you have sensation
|
Family situation
|
When you hear the jam
|
All you want to say, is Happiness- yo
|
|
The era we entering is mad exciting
|
Sometimes I got more rhymes than I remember writing
|
I stand like a titan above the mental midget
|
My safe originate from seven-eighteen digits
|
Thats BROOKLYN- for area code impaired
|
Medina of the planet for cats from out there
|
Mos Def official native of the Bed-Stuy section
|
I'm standing 5'10" with the chocolate complextion
|
I keep the function moving in the right direction
|
I'm coming with the new to keep the next crew guessing
|
Who you stressing! Pump your brakes and slow down
|
I hold court, you get cut short like pronoun
|
I throw down just like Ali in Zyaire
|
I'm fresh from my feet to the roots in my hair
|
Kangol and Wallabees is some gear that I wear
|
Skid out to Chamber Street and I copped the fly pair
|
And I DARE- anyone of these new chaps
|
To step in the arena without they crew's back
|
Approahing the recital with titles you lose that
|
Send home a telegram to relay the news that the
|
M- for magnificant
|
O- praise omnipotent
|
S- for significant
|
D- for type different
|
E- for effic-ient
|
F- the fly fisherman
|
Netting everything from here to Lake Michigan
|
So all my people if you're out there listening
|
Give me a shout and let me know what you getting in
|
Some emcees ain't even worth mentioning
|
Let's congregate and compilate these Benjamins
|
We take the crown and break them down like divis-ion
|
To realize what my eyes is envisioning
|
Dollars correct and I'm the man on deck
|
But otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect
|
Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect
|
Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect
|
Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect
|
