Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem

If you can hear me, Ladies and Gentlemen

Then I'm very happy that you came here
4
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, we
5
That was for Brooklyn
6
Ha ha, we get it every time
7
You got me on? Ohh
8
Shout out to all of my crew, East-West, North-South
9
All the continent, Europe, all abroad international
10
Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in, bring it in
11
It's a lot of things goin' on y'all
12
21st century is comin', 20th century almost done
13
A lot of things have changed, a lot of things have not, mainly us
14
We gon' get it together right? I believe that
15
Listen, people be askin' me all the time
16
Yo Mos, what's gettin' ready to happen with Hip-Hop?
17
(Where do you think Hip-Hop is goin'?)
18
I tell 'em, "You know what's gonna happen with Hip-Hop?
19
Whatever's happening with us"
20
If we smoked out, Hip-Hop is gonna be smoked out
21
If we doin' alright, Hip-Hop is gonna be doin' alright
22
People talk about Hip-Hop like it's some giant livin' in the hillside
23
Comin' down to visit the townspeople, we are Hip-Hop
24
Me, you, everybody, we are Hip-Hop
25
So Hip-Hop is goin', where we goin'
26
So the next time you ask yourself where Hip-Hop is goin'
27
Ask yourself, where am I goin'? How am I doin'?
28
'Til you get a clear idea
29
So, if Hip-Hop is about the people
30
And the Hip-Hop won't get better until the people get better
31
Then how do people get better?
32
Well, from my understanding people get better
33
When they start to understand that, they are valuable
34
And they not valuable because they got a whole lot of money
35
Or 'cause somebody, think they sexy
36
But they valuable 'cause they been created by God
37
And God, makes you valuable
38
And whether or not you, recognize that value is one thing
39
You got a lot of societies and governments
40
Tryin' to be God, wishin' that they were God
41
They wanna create satellites and cameras everywhere
42
And make you think they got the all-seein' eye
43
Eh, I guess the last poets wasn't, too far off
44
When they said that certain people got a God Complex
45
I believe it's true
46
I don't get phased out by none of that, none of that
47
Helicopters, the TV screens, the newscasters, the
48
Satellite dishes, they just, wishin'
49
They can't really never do that
50
When they tell me to fear they law
51
When they tell me to try to
52
Have some fear in my heart behind the things that they do
53
This is what I think in my mind
54
And this is what I say to them
55
And this is what I'm sayin', to you check it
56
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm
57
Fear not of men because men must die
58
Mind over matter and soul before flesh
59
Angels for the pain keep a record in time
60
Which is passin' and runnin' like a caravan freighter
61
The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked
62
But God is sufficient in disposin' of affairs
63
Gunmen and stockholders try to merit my fear
64
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared
65
Mos Def in the flesh, where you at, right here
66
On this place called Earth, holdin' down my square
67
'Bout to do it for y'all, and y'all at the fair
68
So just bounce, come on bounce
69
B-b-bounce, b-bounce, b-bounce-bounce
70
And just, just step two three
71
Just step two three and
72
Step two, two three and
73
One two three and four
74
One two three and four
75
Once again
76
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm
77
Fear not of men because men must die
78
Mind over matter and soul before flesh
79
Angels for the pain keep a record in time
80
which is passin' and runnin' like a caravan freighter
81
The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked
82
But God is sufficient in disposin' of affairs
83
Gunmen and stockholders try to merit your fear
84
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared
85
Mos Def in the flesh, where you at, right here
86
On this place called Earth, holdin' down my square
