| Sometimes, you gotta be direct with the people, y’know like.
|
| Give it to 'em (c'mon)
|
| Yo!
|
| Give it to 'em
|
| GET, UP, NOW!
|
| Yo, we keep it type raw, and know exactly what we fight for
|
| when the nightfall come, we in the right war
|
| Cats who spill blood for a cause, not just because
|
| Defy the authority and follow God’s law
|
| Revolutionary entrepeneurs; |
| who make the fans
|
| clap they hands and stompin the floor not start the applause
|
| (Ahhh ssssh! Yeah!) Thank you very much, without further adieu
|
| Let me introduce the rest of my crew, Mos Def!
|
| Yo, I am the world renowned, verb adjective adverb
|
| pronoun preposition suffix prefix
|
| Original or remix, sunburst and eclipse
|
| Me and Kwe’combine like strands on a double-helix
|
| My speech seasoned, with dialect of my region
|
| Booga-nam Brooklyn Bed-Stuy Eastern
|
| Where youth and policemen, they nah reach agreement
|
| Pressure in the mornin, pressure in the evenin
|
| {*scratching* Mos Def. |
| Kwe'-Kweli.
|
| Hi Tek on the beat!. |
| brothers and sisters}
|
| Chorus One: BlackStar (Mos Def + Talib Kweli)
|
| You, need, to, get, up, right, now
|
| and, move, with, this, yes, this, means, you
|
| You, you
|
| Yeahh, alright yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah
|
| Alright yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah, yeah-ehhhh
|
| Uh, uh, uh, uh, yo, yo, yo Things changed since we came out, been some shit in New York
|
| Niggaz stopped gettin jig in New York, bloods and crips in New York
|
| The Y-2-K celebration wasn’t big in New York
|
| Babylon live in New York, should I keep a crib in New York
|
| or just V.I., to handle my B.I.
|
| When with my A-Alikes we see with three eyes
|
| Yo Kweli I agree I, was thinkin the same thing myself
|
| Smog in the city ain’t no good for your health
|
| Things changed in New York, type strange in New York
|
| Forty-Deuce don’t look the same in New York
|
| Just politics, tricks and big games in New York
|
| Switched trains a writer can’t get fame in New York
|
| Internet and Wall Street got paid in New York
|
| Poor folks and workin class got slayed in New York
|
| Even still, everyday they make weight in New York
|
| Flashlights lookin for a brighter day in New York
|
| In New York they say it’s — red hot
|
| Will the temperature ease up? |
| Black I guess not
|
| It’s multi-lane traffic, no sign for rest stops
|
| No corner breaks, put on your gloves and just box
|
| No dance school to teach you to wop and bus stop
|
| Better get up in the booth, hop up and just rock
|
| If you think it’s like that, it’s not so just stop
|
| All mankind time runnin down on one watch, just watch
|
| Chorus Two: BlackStar (Mos Def + Talib Kweli)
|
| If, you, are, just, coming, in, I, will
|
| say it, once, more, so, you, can, hear, cause
|
| You, need, to, get, up, right, now
|
| and, move, with, this, yes, this, means, you
|
| You, you
|
| Yo, Mos Def and Talib Kweli bring disaster to the industry
|
| We best-sellin authors writin great chapters in history
|
| These cats undercover like gay rappers dealin with mystery
|
| My platinum grey matter spray batter that’s specifically
|
| designed to make rappers break faster than eggshells in the mornin
|
| Inhaled the divine in that’s laid dormant
|
| Water from the well STAY pourin
|
| I answer back when I hear fate callin
|
| Freedom fighter ready to attack at the crack of a new day dawnin
|
| Way more than necessary skills for the application
|
| My flow is Great like the Lakes and it rocks like Applachains
|
| My facts more than make up for what you lack in imagination
|
| You more confused than Tiger Woods when he made up Cabalaysian
|
| I’m sayin!
|
| Break bounds like the jet Concorde
|
| Win awards before I leave for my world award tour
|
| When they scream encore, that’s when they want more
|
| Flow steadily, whether I’m on or off shore
|
| High potent, zone coastin, no jokin
|
| Safecracker sniff gon’keep the joint open
|
| Peep the focus, high resolution, high reception
|
| My Train of Thought connectin with my bredren from Reflection like
