1
Hello everybody, recording live from somewhere
2
Lord, Lord have mercy
3
All nice an' peace an' true, follow me now, we say
4
Say, "Hi-Tek, yes, you're rulin' hip hop"
5
Say, "J. Rawls, yes, you're rulin' hip hop"
6
Redefinition, say, "You're rulin' hip hop"
7
Say, "Black Star, come to rock it"
8
Yo, from the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate
9
The whole an' not the half of it, vocals an' not the math of it
10
Projectile that them blasted with, accurate assassin shit
11
Me an' Kweli close like Bethlehem an' Nazareth
12
After this you be pressin' rewind on top your master disk
13
Shinin' like an asterisk, for all those that be gatherin'
14
Connectin' like a round house, from the townhouse to the tenements
15
'Cause all my Brooklyn residents, [Incomprehensible] heavy regiments
16
Don't believe, here the evidence, where Brooklyn, see that?
17
Bound to take it all kid, believe that
18
From where they sellin' tree at, to where the police be at
19
Talib Kweli, E.Kwelity, yo' tell them where we be at
20
Brooklyn, New York City where they paint murals of Biggie
21
In cash, we trust 'cause it's ghetto fabulous, life look pretty
22
What a pity, blunts is still fifty cents, it's intense
23
Tree scents is dominant, can't be covered with incense
24
My presence felt, my name is Kweli from the Eternal Reflection
25
People thinkin' MC is short hand for 'Mis Conception'
26
Let me meditate, set it straight, came to the conclusion
27
That most of these cats is featherweight, let me demonstrate
28
Walkin' the streets is like battlin', be careful with your body
29
You must know Karate or think your soul is 'Bulletproof' like Sade
30
Stop actin' like a bitch already, be a visionary
31
An' maybe you can see your name in the column of obituary
32
Third rate teacher readin' an' talkin about, "I knew he'd amount to nothin'"
33
Neighbors like, "He was the quiet type
34
Who'd have thought they was frontin'?"
35
Talkin' loud like you in R.C.A, get carted away
36
With body parts an' trays, what a way to start your day, yo, it's like
37
One, two, three
38
Mos Def an' Talib Kweli
39
We came to rock it on to the tip top
40
Best alliance in hip hop, why oh
41
I said one, two, three
42
It's kinda dangerous to be a emcee
43
They shot Tupac an' Biggie
44
Too much violence in hip hop, why oh
45
I said Manhattan keep on makin' it, Brooklyn keep on takin' it
46
So relax we're takin' it back, Redhook, where we're livin' at
47
Plenty cats be strugglin' not hustlin' an' bubblin'
48
It ain't about production an' what else we discussin'?
49
When the cock crows, my crop grows, enable me to rock flows
50
Strivin' for perfection ever since I was a snot nosed
51
Colossal, true original B. Boy apostle
52
Standin' on the rooftop with the Zulu Gestapo
53
You think you the shit, somebody in the wings'll force you to quit
54
It could be your crew or click
55
Or some random kid you smoked Buddha with
56
Consider me the entity within the industry
57
Without a history of spittin' the epitome, of stupidity
58
Livin' my life, expressin' my liberty, it gotta be done properly
59
My name is in the middle of E.Kwelity
60
People follow me an' other cats, they hear him flow
61
An' assume I'm the real one with lyrics like I'm Cyrano
62
Still sippin', wishin' well, water imported from Pluto
63
Three hundred an' sixty milliliters for all our believers
64
In miles or kilometers, most cats, cannot proceed us
65
In the jungle with the leaders, we the lions, you the cheetahs
66
A Cypher will complete us, if we come through your receivers
67
You can play us an' repeat us an' then take us home an' read us
68
Line for line, good Jesus, Mos Def an' Kweli
69
Just make a pussy freeze up, thinkin' of it ease up
70
One, two, three
71
Mos Def an' Talib Kweli
72
We came to rock it on to the tip top
73
Best alliance in hip hop, why oh
74
I said one, two, three
75
It's kinda dangerous to be a emcee
76
They shot Tupac an' Biggie
77
Hold your head when the beat drop, why oh
