[Mos Def]
Yeah, ha ha ha
A-B-boys rock the world
CD`s and tapes help generate papes
E-F is the important Def
G-good, H is what style be
When I grab the microphone and MC
Roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P
And when I am done you will agree
Mos Def represent most definitely
Jesus what I used to rock it in `83
Drank up all the Kool-Aid at the block party
Used to wish I could break the Rock Steady
Wash this be the brown shoe on TV
But now it`s not dis and it`s on like THIS
My name is Mos Def, this is good as it gets
Baby I make you rub your lips like sardines and grits
My what still hits even when the record skip
Even when the record skip
Even when the record skip
I don`t quit, I don`t quit
We bout to make this one a sure hit
Sean J. make the party people feel it
(Ladies and gentlemen, we`d like to introduce a very
Interesting young man that has traveled from very far
Away to be with us tonight)
[Mos Def]
Ha ha ha, what uh-huh
There is such a place, that creates such a melody BROOKLYN
No ladies it`s a living dream, it`s a living dream, it`s a living dream
LOVE LIKE THIS
Recognize all area crew, whether you speak Japanese or Goony Goo Goo
Son when I come through, other rappers boo-hoo
Cuz they know they style`s soft like baby doo-doo
I will continue, to hit like a fifth of stolen Naya
Puttin jokers on ice to get the cream like Breyer
No secret, Mos Def is the one that hunts a Mya
I get in my stance and set the dance on FIRE
Spread out my wings and I take the world HIGHER
Peace to the fam magnetic in the Chi
Job-on, top Sean and my man Ahtu
And all my other clan who reside in the Zoo
Got a celebrated oatmeal broadcast crew
Mos Def gon keep it naked like Um Fu-Fu (ANDY!!)
Put it here to the tape like crazy glue
So when they bounce out of speakers they stick to you
The way that I communicate is non-typical
But high level like a 3-D visual
I hold the mic extensive, exhibit level and dimension
I radiate the space like a up-right bass
Son I leave crews laced and escape wit no trace
Sound official like the finish time at a horse race
Here to put it in place, for the nine-uno-seis
Mos Def set the pace, make your fam give chase
Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it
Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific
It`s like that and you don`t stop
It goes onto the rhythm you don`t stop
Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it
The Universal Magnetic B-BOY, scientific y`all
You don`t stop, it goes onto the rhythm bust it
Baby it`s in my chromosomes to ROCK
Microphones sets who wanna test the M-O
Best to leave that *nigga* alone
I make no bones or poems about droppin bars
I make the world full swing under the Mos Def YES
I ring the alarm like tennis sore
My style hella-raw, I keep it raw bone like Skeletor
And you should go and tell your clientele
That they need to get The Message like Melle Mel
I got the -- locked like a Death Row show
And if I ain`t a b-boy, Premier never used a bell (ding ding)
So tell your boy, (what) crew to retire
Before I make they *ass* catch fire like Richard Pryor
Nondescriptive fiendin for riches, callin earths *bitches*
But most of y`all brothers is livin wit your mothers
Your Boogie Man yankin up your covers
Sharper than some new box cutters, on Parkay`s and butters
And Stevie Wonder`s, to make you run and tell the others
The beat lovers, and play my jam like the numbers
Son I rock the globe like I rocked your boat
I`m bout to tap it on your shoulder cuz you got to know
Now raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it
The Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific
Like that, and you don`t stop
It goes onto the rhythm you don`t stop
And raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it
Universal Magnetic B-BOY, (hooo!!) scientific
You don`t stop, it goes onto the rhythm you don`t stop
Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it
Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific
