Very Well Lyrics - Mos Def

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 

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
