Hey, yo man, I think that dude's tryin to break into your car. what?. . New york life, type trife. That's why I'm tryin' to shine the light, yo. Here it come, here it come, here it come, y'all.
[Beyonce]. Sweetness flowing like a faucet, body bangin' no corset. Brother's wanna toss it but they lost cause my game ain't no forfeit. Slicker than a porpoise and thicker than a horse's.
I-ya. I against I. Flesh of my flesh. And mind of my mind. Two of a kind but one won't survive. My images reflect in the enemies eye. And his images reflect in mine the same time.
Same story, same target, different time. Cyclical reaction from the prisoners of the blind. Trying to fight time, it's a battle of the mind. Waiting for redemption, surviving in a bind.
Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in". Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon. Some in winter, some in June.
You say one for the treble, two for the time. Come on y'all let's rock this!. You say one for the treble, two for the time. Come on!. . Speech is my hammer, bang the world into shape.
Yes. Every day somebody ask me where all the real MC's is at?. They underground. There's mad talented cats underground with that raw shit. Yaknowwhat'msayin? Bringin them raw skills.
[Chorus]. We all got to have, a place where we come from. This place that we come from is called home. We set out on our travels, we do the best we can.
Hear me, see me. . Welcome to soundview projects. Bronx new york, 10473. . Intersection action ribs touching. New gutter smacks replacing the whole dutchman.
Some cats really like to, you know. Profile and front. And then the jooks go down, all at once they like. . Don't get me. . You're out on the block hustling at the spot.
Hello children. . Black Jack Johnson NYC, R-O-C-K-I-N-G. Sun and the moon, earths, stars, and planets. Before song done y'all goin' all understand it.
Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem. . If you can hear me ladies and gentlemen. Then I'm very happy that you came here. . That was for Brooklyn. Ha ha, we get it everytime.
Hip hop, modern time, flossy and raw so self-absorbed, immature. I can't remember being this bored. Fake bonanza, become real wars. Bullets burn through the candy on the driver side door.
Yo I'm live with it, low, middle, the high with it. And that's how I'ma live and die with it. Hold up and down your spine with it. Like Zimzallabim, Jack Johnson, yes my dog, right with them!.
You are the one. You're 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?.
Yo ye yo ye. Yo yo ye ye. . Black is black is something to laugh about black is something to cry about. Black is serious black is a feeling black is us the beautiful people.
My mind compliance like a science. Analyze my data, not a fader on the face of the earth. Can blend rhythms like my will, surreal spinnin'. Ever-movin' like evolution it's retribution.
Ground rules. . I'll give you all the diamonds and money. But you can't break my heart. Cause that'll just get you fired. And everybody needs a job. .
[Mos Def]. There's nothing more refreshing (that cool refreshing drink). Than a cool, crisp, clean gla** of water. On a warm summer's day (That cool refreshing drink).
War is a global economic phenomenon. . Ain't a batch of guns on where, hellfire. Spittin', run up everything they hittin'. Some do they job to dodge the barrage.
