| 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 | |

| 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 | |
