Song | Re:Definition |
Artist | Black Star |
Album | Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star |
[00:10.473] | One, two, three, Mos Def and Talib Kweli |
[00:14.880] | We came to rock it on to the tip-top |
[00:17.400] | Best alliance in hip-hop, wayohh |
[00:21.027] | I said, one, two, three, Black Star shine eternally |
[00:25.326] | We came to rock it on to the tip-top |
[00:28.141] | And Hi-Tek make the beat drop, wayohh |
[00:31.561] | Redefinition, turning your play into a tragedy |
[00:34.260] | Exhibit level degree on the mic, passionately |
[00:37.046] | Niggas is sweet so I bet if I bit I'd get a cavity |
[00:39.490] | Living to get high, you ain't flyer than gravity |
[00:42.139] | We die hard like the battery thrown in the back of me by the mad MC |
[00:45.328] | Who think imitation is the highest form of flattery, actually |
[00:47.864] | Don't be mad at me, I had to be the one to break it to you |
[00:50.502] | You get kicked into obscurity like judo—no, Menudo |
[00:53.235] | Cause You pseudo, trying to compete with reality like Xerox |
[00:55.913] | Towards destruction you spiraling like hairlocks, wipe them teardrops |
[00:58.582] | Chasing stars in your eyes, playing games with your lives |
[01:01.349] | Now the wives is widows soaking up pillows, weeping like willows |
[01:03.852] | Still more blacks is dying, cause they live and they trying |
[01:06.377] | "How to Make a Slave" by Willie Lynch is still applying |
[01:08.984] | Regardless, the Mos is one of my closest partners |
[01:11.782] | Rocking ever since before Prince was called The Artist |
[01:14.450] | Rocking before Funkmaster Flex was rocking Starter |
[01:17.278] | When 'Pac and Biggie was still cool, before they was martyrs |
[01:19.767] | Life or death, if I'm choosing with every breath I'm enhancing |
[01:22.500] | Stop, there comes a time when you can't run |
[01:24.871] | What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom |
[01:27.799] | Jams I write soon become the ghetto anthem |
[01:30.530] | Way out like Bruce Wayne's mansion, move like a phantom |
[01:33.980] | You'll talk about me to your grandsons |
[01:36.184] | Cats who claiming they hard be mad fags |
[01:38.395] | So I run through 'em like flood water through sandbags |
[01:40.964] | Competition is mad, what I got, they can't have |
[01:43.539] | Sinking they ship, like Moby Dick to Ahab |
[01:46.278] | Son I'm way past the minimum, entering millennium |
[01:49.174] | My raps will hold a gat to your back like Palestinians |
[01:51.901] | Ancient Abyssinia, sure to hold the Gideon |
[01:54.411] | Official b-boy gentlemen, long term, never the interim |
[01:57.270] | Born inside the winter wind, day after December 10 |
[02:00.030] | These simpletons they mentioned in |
[02:01.347] | The synonym for feminine |
[02:02.693] | Sweeter than some cinnamon |
[02:04.114] | The Danish rings by Entenmann's |
[02:05.238] | Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them |
[02:07.907] | (Gentlemen) you got a tenement, well then assemble it! |
[02:10.710] | Leave your unit trembling like herds of moving elephant |
[02:13.197] | Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element |
[02:16.090] | From Flatbush settlement, skin possesses melanin |
[02:18.600] | Hotter than tales of crack peddling, making em WOOP |
[02:21.696] | Like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington |
[02:23.792] | Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me |
[02:26.601] | The hot Apache red who burn down your chief teepee |
[02:29.120] | You see me? |
[02:30.270] | One two three, Mos Def and Talib Kweli |
[02:33.496] | We came to rock it on to the tip-top |
