Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem *
If you can hear me ladies and
gentlemen
then I'm very happy that you came here..
Ooh ooooooooooohhhh ooh
ooooooooooooooohh WHEEEEE!!!
That was for Brooklyn..
Ha ha we get it everytime
You got me on? Ohh
Shout out to all of my crew East West North South
All
the continent Europe all abroad international
Bring it in bring it in bring it in bring
it in
It's a lot of things goin on y'all
21st century is comin
20th century
almost done
A lot of things have changed
A lot of things have not, mainly us
We gon' get it together right? I believe that
Listen.. people be askin me all the time,
"Yo Mos, what's gettin ready to happen with Hip-Hop?"
(Where do you think Hip-Hop is
goin?)
I tell em, "You know what's gonna happen with Hip-Hop?
Whatever's happening
with us"
If we smoked out, Hip-Hop is gonna be smoked out
If we doin alright,
Hip-Hop is gonna be doin alright
People talk about Hip-Hop like it's some giant livin in the
hillside
comin down to visit the townspeople
We +are+ Hip-Hop
Me, you,
everybody, we are Hip-Hop
So Hip-Hop is goin where we goin
So the next time you ask
yourself where Hip-Hop is goin
ask yourself.. where am I goin? How am I doin?
Til
you get a clear idea
So.. if Hip-Hop is about the people
and the.. Hip-Hop won't get
better until the people get better
then how do people get better? (Hmmmm...)
Well,
from my understanding people get better
when they start to understand that, they are
valuable
And they not valuable because they got a whole lot of money
or cause
somebody, think they sexy
but they valuable caause they been created by God
And God,
makes you valuable
And whether or not you, recognize that value is one thing
You got
a lot of socities and governments
tryin to be God, wishin that they were God
They
wanna create satellites and cameras everywhere
and make you think they got the all-seein eye
Eh.. I guess The Last Poets wasn't, too far off
when they said that certain people
got a God Complex
I believe it's true
I don't get phased out by none of that, none
of that
helicopters, the TV screens, the newscasters, the..
satellite dishes.. they
just, wishin
They can't really never do that
When they tell me to fear they law
When they tell me to try to
have some fear in my heart behind the things that they do
This is what I think in my mind
And this is what I say to them
And this is
what I'm sayin, to you check it
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm
Fear not of men because men must die
Mind over matter and soul before flesh
Angels for the pain keep a record in time
which is passin and runnin like a caravan
freighter
The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked
But God is sufficient
in disposin of affairs
Gunmen and stockholders try to merit my fear
But God is
sufficient over plans they prepared
Mos Def in the flesh, where you at, right here
on this place called Earth, holdin down my square
Bout to do it for y'all, and y'all at the
fair
So just bounce, come on bounce
B-b-bounce b-bounce b-bounce-bounce
And
just..
.. just step two three
Just step two three and
step two..
two
three and..
One two three and four
One two three and four
Once again
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm
Fear not of men because men must die
Mind over matter and soul before flesh
Angels for the pain keep a record in time
which is passin and runnin like a caravan freighter
The world is overrun with the wealthy
and the wicked
But God is sufficient in disposin of affairs
Gunmen and stockholders
try to merit your fear
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared
Mos Def in the
flesh, where you at, right here
on this place called Earth, holdin down my square
Bout to represent in your whole atmosphere
Bout to represent in your whole atmosphere
to your atmosphere, to your atmosphere
Oh-ooooooohhhhhhhhhh!
That was for you
- and Brooklyn too | | | |
