And this is a message to the people
4
If you see or hear goodness from me
5
Then that goodness is from The Creator
6
You should be thankful to The Creator for all of that
7
'Cause I'm not the architect of that
8
I'm only the, the recipient

If you see weakness or shortcoming in me

It's from my own weakness or shortcoming

And I ask The Creator and the people to forgive me for that

Thank you Brooklyn, Thank you World

For my hometown, break down a little history for you
22
Myrtle and Broadway, Roosevelt projects, Mossie projects
23
Listen
24
I stepped on the field from no league just home team
25
I Jumped out the stands and I snatched the rock
26
With the final seconds +one to land+ on the clock
27
Mos post up to throw up the tie-breakin shot
28
I put it through the net and let the world's jaw drop
29
Then fled the arena before they called cops
30
Tell the players and the coach I wasn't trying to blow spot
31
But the way they was ballin' made it difficult to watch
32
I was taught when there's somethin' you can change around
33
Keep quiet, you got nothin' to complain about
34
You got work to do, I don't know if that work for you
35
But that's how Mos work it through
36
And my work is personal, I'm a working person
37
I put in work, I work with purpose
38
I get it there, on the water, air, the surface
39
You feel the impact? Niggas yeah it's working
40
Listen God did not make me a fearful person
41
The only fear I have, Is my failure to ad hear his path
42
I would love it just to hear this back
43
On the ghetto streets where y'all at
44
On the ave's where the Jeep's go past
45
In the coupes where the seats go back
46
In the parties where it be so packed
47
And the atmosphere be so black
48
And them black things be so phat
49
If I could I would be so glad
50
But if not I won't be so mad
51
I'm still being a man, still feeding my fam'
52
And even if you don't see it my fam
53
I believe that I am, truly gifted, truly blessed
54
I'm yours truly, Brooklyn's own, Mos Def
55
I'm rocking the hard right, ground zero, to far left
56
I'm, well balanced, with immense talents
57
Burn the script, then flip it to keep myself challenged
58
And that's the mark of a true champ-ine
59
That's whether I'm in or outside the ring
60
No fights, no tilte, no crown or reign
61
Feel my presence even when I'm up out this thing
62
Just trust, that's what I'm about to be
63
But until then settle in and rock with me
64
Ha, that's what its about to be
65
Ghetto people look alive with me
66
And say, We 'goin, stop by
67
Then we just keep moving on
68
Ghetto people, look alive and
69
Feel free, we just keep moving on
70
For Alliah, Left Eye, Jam Master Jay
71
All the great hero's who have passed away
72
Scott Laraque, Big & Pac, Feaky Tai, Big L
73
All the soldiers locked down in the cell
74
Lock up the flesh, but the spirit will prevail
75
To our loved ones, and deceased
76
Dyin in the street, or quiet in their sleep (B.I.G.)
77
Rest in peace, your living in the mansions of our memory(+Sans Marie+)
78
Rest in peace, your living in the mansions of our memory
79
And that's real
80
Cause everything in life 'gon come to an end
81
Because it must, and when it does
82
I hope that y'all remember me
83
With true respect
84
And ghetto love
85
Now raise it up
86
Cause everything in life 'gon come to an end
87
Because it must, and when it does
88
I hope that y'all remember me
