Who is the cat eating out on the town

'Cause he got what they want

Designer trousers slung low 'cause his pockets stay swoll'

Could afford to get up and be anywhere he go

22
The best crib, the best clothes
23
Hottest whips on the road, neck and wrists on froze

Straight all across the globe, watch got three time-zones

Is there a problem, officer?

You livin' large, your skin is dark, they flash a light in your face

Yo, the Abstract with the mighty Mos Def

When they deal with their close associates and friends

58
Her lips curl up into a tight space
59
She don't believe that I'm in the right place
60
Showed her my boarding pass and then she sort of gasped

An hour later here she comes by walking past

Bags inspected, now we arrested

Urinanalyis followed by X-rays
75
Interrogated and detained to damn near the next day
76
No evidence, no apology and no regard
77
Even for the big American rap star
78
For us especially, us most especially

If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake
