Do It Now Lyrics - Black On Both Sides - Mos Def

Back up, back up, back up, back up 

Back up back up back up back up ease off 

This goes out to all area crew (yes yes) 

To my BK crew to my QB crew 

My LI crew, my Shaolin crew 

My Dirty South crew 

(What y'all niggas about the Dirty South?) 

Atlanta, North Cakalak' 

For all my fam, all area crew 

Yeah man! 

Yes, the first cut should be the deepest 

To penetrate beyond the muscle wall's inner regions 

First you was icing me, connect with the staring at the speakers 

Heard the rhyme, head high, what ya staring at ya sneakers 

You shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now 

You don't feel fly now, you hunting the exit sign down 

Fuck what you heard, cause I snatch the grapevine down (yea yeah) 

Don't understand how I ran the line down, rewind now 

Yo We be the most magnetic, so athletic 

Leave your peeps on the side so they can watch you and your mans get it 

Take the arch rivalry stance up on the podium 

And give the flavor to niggas but keep it low on sodium 

Possess shit that got you wondering how we holding 'em 

Things that'll lay you out like a piece of linoleum 

Bring who-ever you want, we bout to bug son and bounce 

Down to Henry Hudson, after I bust one! 

Yo Mos Def! 

Alright okay 

How you feel? 

Feeling great 

What ya want? 

I wan' do it to death, whats up wit you? 

You know my steez 

True indeed 

Say it loud 

Black and proud 

Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate 

Do it now! 

Bust-a-Bus

How you feel? 

Feeling great! 

What you want? 

I want to do it to death, what up with you? 

You know my steez 

True indeed 

Say it loud 

Black and proud 

Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate 

Do it now! 

Hay dios mio, me and Bustarimo 

The hottest Negroes en Los Estados Unidos 

Hotter than Reno when discovered by Bugsy Siegal 

I'm black like Don Cheadle shouting power to the people 

My rhymes dipping like the lifeline on the e-boat 

The raw sugar cane, NutraSweet, never Equal 

If you in a Benzito or your mother's Buick Regal 

I get up like Chino shouting power to the people!! 

Yo, me and the Mighty Mos shine like a light post 

Live nigga shit be straight fucking up the white folks 

That's why they with it now, because niggas like me and you 

We did it now, brought it to that level so they get it now 

We graduated saturated the game now 

Infatuated with the fame now let me explain how 

We doing this, at any time or any place ready willing and able 

Let's get the dough secure the food on the table 

Yo Mos Def! 

Alright okay 

How you feel? 

Feeling great 

What ya want? 

I wan' do it to death, whats up wit you? 

You know my steez 

True indeed 

Say it loud 

Black and proud 

Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate 

Do it now!

You know my steez 

True indeed 

Say it loud 

Black and proud 

Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate 

Do it now! 

From East West North and South I got joints for all of those 

Heavy aquatic water flows keep them on they toes 

Tell them thugs that want to be CEO's to be derobed 

'Fore I wear your little dumb ass out like Easter clothes! 

Yo, yo-yo yo-yo 

It's like a freak show, soon as my heat blow 

Sometime I speak slow so people understand my street flow 

And while we keep it hot, we got the most shine up in 

This whole shit, me and Mos spit and blow the show quick 

Watch out! Your pussy sound get bucked Souf 

Mos 'n Bussa Rhymes too bad man-a-shutout 

Watch out! Give a damn what fancy car ya hop owt 

Shut down your game like the NBA lockout 

Ya better watch out! I'm bout to black on niggas 

Like I'm blowing on a sax, blowing my gats on niggas 

Blowing my raps on niggas, now let me mash out 

We fatter than the biggest ass chicks poking they ass out! 

Hey Mos Def
