We got to blow up the spot, because they must have forget
13
We double (trouble) bubble (bubble) bubble (bubblin hot)
14
Well it's like smack the track up and leave dents in it
15
The vocalist, bustin this blunt, instrument spit
16
The magnificent, rapper's run from it
17
All fly girls, nipples and toes, numb from it
18
MC's in my circumference, is confronted son
19
Get your growth stunted from this, you don't want it
20
(What nigga?) The Black Thought and M-O-S that done it
21
Who the ultimate? Yo my man speak up on it
22
[Mos Def]
23
Aiyyo I stop fools and drop jewels but never run it
24
Rock mics so nice I make you stock price plummet
25
All you high noon riders better rally at the summit
26
It's me and Tariq and your fleet outnumbered
27
Cross the membrane barkin big game and get hunted
28
Eyewitness account, say it happened so sudden
29
Just slid off to the side, didn't really say nuttin
30
Then BLAOW, blew away the 1900th
31
[Black Thought]
32
You better get your rest cause the next day comin

36
[Mos Def]
37
Aiyyo, keep your tape on us so you catch the revolve
38
of the Black Thought and the black man from Black Star
39
Illadelph and Vietnam we conference, accomplish
40
Even with stakes inclined, I get mine, regardless
41
[Black Thought]
42
Yo, a lot of Smurfette MC's carry purses
43
And rock, uniforms, that's made for nurses
44
I burst your verses, your words is worthless
45
Only touchin surface, the FUCK's the purpose?
46
[Mos Def]
47
I shot the sherriff, the deputy, and head of bank treasury
48
So mounties in the county got a BIG bounty stressin me
49
But tell 'em to hold off, they too short to measure me
50
Mos and Black Thought blast forth with the weaponry
51
[both interwined]
52
Like blaow-ba-dow-da-da-dow-da-dah-ow
53
Either stand tall or sit the fuck down

Brace yourself, it's about to go down

61
We double (trouble) bubble (bubble) bubble (bubblin hot)
62
[Mos Def]
63
Yeah, now check your stove top before you take a listen
64
And make sure beans don't burn in the kitchen
65
These cast iron figures just ain't fuel efficient
66
I play the winter breeze then choke hold your prisoner
67
Now you niggaz can't make pole position
68
Classy, chasis, can't hold the transmission
69
Crew pit, useless, they got they tools missin
70
Watch me, grand prix, champy for wealth driven
71
[Black Thought]
72
Yo, you go one for my hustle (hustle)
73
Two to rock rhyme (two to rock rhyme)
74
From the muscle kid I'm one of the illets of all time
75
I swing from chandeliers and wall climb
76
And specialize in warfares of all kind
77
A lot of MC's said I'm a run it down rhyme
78
But half the time, they run it down one of mine
79
Thought suffocatin em with yet another stunnin line
80
You dumb and blind kid, it's enlarged and underlined
81
[Mos Def]
82
What I memorized leave your whole staff pressurized
83
Melt down all of your artificial lies
84
Y'all niggaz is faker than Yellow No. 5
85
Swine like mono and diglyceride
86
My vocals got texture, you just texturized
87
I'm nicer than your writtens even when I'm improvised
88
Step into my zone get flown like fly
89
by the b-boy Lazarus who just won't die
90
[Black Thought]
91
Yo, me and Kamal and Leanord Hubbard, ?uestlove and Malik
92
We go back to dollar holdings and Tahitian Treat
93
Or like toast in the oven with government cheese bubblin
94
Me and Dante like Marvin, The Troublemen travellin
95
Give me the mic, we on that again
96
b-boy business, off the top actin and battlin
97
Servin them cats that forgot
98
But don't get too close, because you might get shot
99

121
Say here's a little story that must be told
122
About two young brothers who got so much soul
123
They takin total control, of the body and brain
124
Flyin high in the sky, on a lyrical plane
125
It's just two bad brothers who will never quit
126
Mos Def and Tariq from the 2-1-5th
127
They rock beginnin to end, on a spiritual blend
128
And everybody who forgot then baby tell em again
129
It's just me and Tariq, with Ahmir on the beat
130
The Roots crew baby yo we got to make it unique
131
We got the soul-shockinest, body-rockinest
132
Non-stoppinest, _Fortified Live_ survive the apocalypse
133
Rhymes we say, the perfect blend
134
Because we know how to rock when the beat come in
135
Like zen-zen-zen-zen-zen
136
Zen-zen-zen-zen-zen, zen-zen, zen-zen
137
Zen zen-zen, ZEN zen zen ZEN zen zen
138
Zen zen, ZEN zen zen-zen
139
Zen-zen-zen, ZEN zen ZEN zen
140
Here we go, here we here we here we go
141
Zen zen-zen, ZEN zen zen ZEN zen zen
142
Zen zen, ZEN zen zen-zen
143
Zen-zen-zen-zen-zen, zen-zen, zen-zen
144
Let the poppers pop, and the breakers break
145
Then zen-zen-zen-zen-zen
146
Zen-zen-zen-zen-zen, zen-zen, zen-zen
147
Two years ago, a friend of mine
148
Zen zen, ZEN zen, zen-zen zen-zen... *fades*
