Kweli:

The highest caliber make it a night to remember like Shalamar
4
Then escape to Havana with a ? do what I gotta
5
Planes get shot down in Cuban air space over the water
6
I got insight it's a clear case of reading your aura
7
Man what you got for us as my Black men stand in line like a chorus
8
Makin' these MC's our sons like Horus
9
I'm always taking shots like a Japanese tourist, get the picture?
10
Flyer than Keyser Soze and no exposure
11
Mos Def:
12
I'm sippin wishing well water imported from Pluto
13
That's why my eyes is glassy, so ain't got to ask me
14
The interplanetary Illuminati move your body
15
I trekked the stars first, so fuck Kirk and Scotty
16
I threw basement parties on the Mothership
17
Now I'm on planet Earth on some other shit
18
Many 'habitants of this world be strivin and strugglin
19
Tryin to eat food and keep the rights to they publishing, huh
20
Ghetto red hot, man that shit is like bubblin
21
Can't get no peace cause the Beast keep troubling
22
Youth, they oppose and the blows they be doubling
23
Nike heads is trife and the shots, they be thundering
24
Ways and customs don't make any sense
25
They be givin me stress and they test my maintenance
26
Use the sand and the Ummah as my sustenance
27
No, this style will never lack, melanin's my evidence
28
Mr. Man:
29
In order to effective, with your words you must be selective
30
Cause showin and provin is the Prime Directive
31
Movin those who are outdated with vernaculated thought, so
32
Every time I take a turn MC's take a loss
33
My point across, I gotta get to where I want to be
34
As the wickedest public speaker since '73
35
Or '74, which was the year I first touched ground
36
As the physical manifestation of sight and sound
37
So gather 'round, to hear the profound brown vomiter
38
Absorb the sonic energy manifestin through your monitor
39
The livin proof, I make the truth sound clear
40
Mr. Man, in nine ether represent right here, check it out
41
Chorus (2X):
42
Kweli
43
This once in a lifetime like a Halley's comet
44
Yo, we bring it to Medina like the prophet Mohammed
45
Mos Def and Mr Man:
46
Peace be upon he, and, we MC's
47
Speak the fortified live exhibit level degree
48
Kweli:
49
Yo, what's wrong with this picture? (picture) Don't it seem bugged
50
MC's is high on they supply, sounds like they takin drugs
51
Y'all trippin like mescalin and killin the feeling like penicillin
52
Switchin' to Lionel Rich' and dancin on the ceilin
53
Go ahead and be a heroin(e), your own mind
54
Fuck your internet, coke is it when you on line
55
Smokin dirty weed, ignorin the medicinal herbals
56
So we in your ass like you was Richard Gere and we was gerbils
57
You get stepped on like crack vials by ghetto children, plus
58
Swept under the rug, we turnin niggas into dust
59
You done came out of the earth (earth), what your life worth?
60
When you get left with what you had on the day of your birth
61
Mr. Man:
62
Ha...Yo, it's the super scientifical, high-powered prolifical
63
Lyrically a miracle, mentally I'm physical
64
Massively encryptical, verbally invincible
65
These kids wanna battle but the material's pitiful
66
The only original, wicked individual
67
Whenever I rhyme, I break it down into syllables
68
Simply because it's coming straight out of Brooklyn
69
It sounds so out of sight I got the blind people lookin
70
It's Mr. Man the act, boy what? You get stolen
71
I'll cut your ass in half and leave you with a semicolon
72
Kweli:
73
We cold-crushin MC's that's gold-rushin for the cheese
74
They see a flash in the pan waitin for royalties
75
Mos Def:
76
But kings and queens get overthrown when they grab the microphone
77
Shootin videos in homes that they know they'll never own
78
I guess they cannot work alone, they forever with crew
79
L sparking, steady barking bout the wildness they do
80
Posin in photographs shot at complimentary angles
81
Be playin Mr. Tuffy when they feminine like bangles
82
Practices is fraudulent, fallacies record to tape
83
Step in my zone, your spot'll get blown like Watergate
84
Mr. Man:
85
Wait, my blastin rate is past a state of rappers who procrastinate
86
Mr. Man is great, so every time I rhyme, I fascinate
87
Masses hate to have to wait for me to unload
88
So I flip into my mode of rhyme, long like a road
89
See, I drop the greats like clumsy waiters drop plates
90
I got rhymes by the crates to erase the duplicates
91
Cause, I blow wack rappers out like afros
92
My shit is so phat it be stretchin my asshole
93
But huh, that's not the point because I'm better than most
94
I make MC's Wonder like bread but then, bread gets toast
95
It's like that, Mr. Man, Mos Def, and Kweli
96
represent for every single real MC, you don't stop
97
(Yo, yo, yo, this is the mighty Mos Def)
98
Chorus (2X)
