Wahid Lyrics - The Ecstatic - Mos Def

When, all, is, said, and, done, there's, only, one 

Cash and carry legendary Sagitarri(us) style's wary 

And it's very necessary get it clearly 

Never scary barely worried bright and early 

Bald head straight or curly mundane other worldly 

No chain now the jewelry that jackers can't snatch 

The gingerbread the slave masters can't catch 

Blat! Now put your minds on that 

Get real or get back quit frontin' and face facts 

The old timers say we're living in the final days 

Gun smoke young folks living any kind of way 

Gangster holiday greedy snakes and hideaways 

Meanwhile soldiers take it straight through their armor plates 

Crash hit the market gates marvels of the modern age 

Access is instant and treachery is commonplace 

I sense the dangers and I'm not afraid 

Because when all is said and done there's only one! 

Man up playboy playing the game boy 

Pull back spectacular aim boy 

Say what you say boy whoever could make noise 

And ride range off in the same voice 

Conduct an arrangement with definite language 

It's pure inspiration for this generation 

Speak true free love (?) 

Because when all is said and done there's only one! 

And the one can done so cool 

Schooling the young like Rev. Run ("whose house?") 

Quote pop and 'til they keep their heads up 

And when the pressure comes down press back and press up 

Fret not ghetto world guess what 

God is on your side the devil is a lie 

The Empire holds all the gold and the guns 

But when all is said and done there's only 

B.O.O.G.I.E.M.A.N 

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect pratice makes perfect
