6
The sweet old beats my speech radiates
7
I grab the mic my voice resulates and penetrates
8
I make the "be -Boy" emulate
9
A buck-fifty still swinging like a heavyweight
10
Me and the lounge about to levitate
11
You don't believe let me demonstrate
12
The way we make cats disintegrate
13
Voice]
14
Well hold up you got to stop the tape
15
You got to prove you can rock the bricks

Me and my man going to investigate

25
{All right, all right}
26
So why you over here ripping with me?
27
Trying to prove you position to me?
28
{Some cats ain't equipped to MC}
29
But you can see I'm different "G"
30
The universal magnificently
31
I rock the party eficiently
32
From the Brooklyn but centered to (?)
33
And I do it so lyrically
34
That you got to give it to me
35
Like Rick James, I kick game and spit flame
36
Burning rappers all up out their frame
37
We get into this vein
38
From Brownsville all the way down to Brisbean
39
{Damn this brother's flow is insane}
40
That's what I've been trying to explain
41
Got no time to play games
42
Keep it coming like the next train
43
Make the party people exclaim
44
Whenever they hear my name
45
They go "Mos Def"
46
Oh yes my style is so fresh
47
guaranteed to win any MC contest
48
Old school like the eighty-four fresh dress
49
You spend you assets to get my cassette
50
Now that's fresh, the red hook address
51
Make a cop jealous swell like abscess
52
I'm shoutin' bigs up to Medina and the rest
53
Bout' to drop it on your block a high on the press
54
[Chorus with singing in backround]
55
I said people in the front jam on it {Say what, say what}
56
To all my people in the back jam on it {Say what, say what}
57
To all my people on the side jam on it {Ha ha, ha ha}

You see my name is Mos Def and my style will never pest
65
Brown skinned body-rocking MC
66
I got the black zodiac and you know it's never whack
67
Sagitarius definatley
68
You see it's me and lyricist and we're getting serious about to make another hit
69
I tell your homeboy chill 'cause' his style ain't ill but it's straight up counterfeit
70
You see I'm fast or bent or sweet then bullet and when I'm on the set
71
All the hip-hop fans just raise they hands because the one and only mighty Mos Def
72
You see I come into the party in a "be -Boy" stance I rock the mic so viciously
73
So all the real "be -boys" and real "be -Girls" never know others better than me
74
[Voice]
75
I said hey Mos Def you can't steal the show
76
You ain't the only MC out here with flow
77
I'm the Pro-Castro and I'm letting you know
78
That I get on the mic and go toe to toe
79
[Mos Def]
80
Well cool young brother and just slow you role
81
'cause' your arm's to shook to have mic control
82
See I get on the mic and jump off your case
83
You best get out my face and stay in a child's place
84
[Voice]
85
See I get on the mic because I know I can
86
And I'm fresher than you because I know I am
87
So when I jump on the stage you better step back
88
Because your name is Mos Def but your really Mos Whack

91
The sun is going down you need to take you butt home
92
And come outside with your whack freestylin'
93
You should have kept it in the house like Debbie Galler
94
When I grab the microphone people scream my name
95
The ain't no sesame street this is a grown-man's lane
96
See you best heed my words and listen up
97
Or I'm a tell your momma to whip your butt
98
[Voice]
99
