What what what what

What what what what what

Woaaaahhhhhhh

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it on to the tip top

Best alliance in hip hop

Wayohh

I said one two three

Black star shine eternally

We came to rock it on to the tip top

And hi tek make the beat drop

Wayohh

Redefinition

Turning your play into a tragedy

Exhibit level degree on the mic

Passionately

Niggas is sweet

So I bet if I bit I'd get a cavity

Living to get high

You ain't flyer than gravity

We die hard like the battery

Thrown in the back of me by the mad MC

Who think imitation

Is the highest form of flattery

Actually

Don't be mad at me

I had to be the one to break it to you

You get kicked into obscurity

Like judo no menudo

'Cause you pseudo

Trying to compete with reality like xerox

Towards destruction you spiraling

Like hairlocks

Wipe them teardrops

Chasing stars in your eyes

Playing games with your lives

Now the wives is widows

Soaking up pillows

Weeping like willows

Still more blacks is dying

'Cause they live and they trying

How to make a slave

By willie lynch is still applying

Regardless

The mos is one of my closest partners

Rocking ever since before

Prince was called the artist

Rocking before

Funkmaster flex was rocking starter

When 'Pac and Biggie was still cool

Before they was martyrs

Life or death if I'm choosing

With every breath I'm enhancing

Stop there comes a time

When you can't run

What lyrically handsome

Call collect a king's ransom
