[00:00:00] Hip Hop - Mos Def

[00:00:00] Written by：J. Kirkland/D Smith

[00:00:03] You say one for the treble two for the time

[00:00:06] Come on y'all let's rock this

[00:00:08] You say one for the treble two for the time

[00:00:11] Come on

[00:00:12] Speech is my hammer bang the world into shape

[00:00:14] Now let it fall huh

[00:00:17] My restlessness is my nemesis

[00:00:18] It's hard to really chill and sit still

[00:00:20] Committed to page I write a rhyme

[00:00:22] Sometimes won't finish for days

[00:00:24] Scrutinize my literature from the large to the miniature

[00:00:27] I mathematically administer

[00:00:29] Subtract the wack

[00:00:30] Selector wheel it back I'm feeling that

[00:00:33] From the core to the perimeter black

[00:00:34] You know the motto

[00:00:35] Stay fluid even in staccato

[00:00:38] Full blooded full throttle

[00:00:39] Breathe deep inside the drum hollow

[00:00:42] There's the humyoung man where you from

[00:00:44] Brooklyn number one

[00:00:45] Native son speaking in the native tongue

[00:00:48] I got my eyes on tomorrow there it is

[00:00:50] While you still trying to find where it is

[00:00:52] I'm on the Ave where it lives and dies

[00:00:54] Violently silently

[00:00:56] Shine so vibrantly that eyes squint to catch a glimpse

[00:00:59] Embrace the bass with my dark ink fingertips

[00:01:01] Used to speak the King's English

[00:01:03] But caught a rash on my lips

[00:01:05] So now my chat just like dis

[00:01:07] Long range from the base-line swish

[00:01:09] Move like an apparition

[00:01:10] Float to the ground with ammuntionchi-chi-POW

[00:01:13] Move from the gatevoice cued on your tape

[00:01:15] Putting food on your plate

[00:01:16] Many crews can relate

[00:01:18] Who choosing your fate yo

[00:01:20] We went from picking cotton

[00:01:21] To chain gang line chopping

[00:01:23] To Be-Bopping to Hip-Hopping

[00:01:25] Blues people got the blue chip stock option

[00:01:27] Invisible man got the whole world watching

[00:01:30] Where ya at I'm high low east west

[00:01:32] All over your map

[00:01:33] I'm getting big props with this thing called hip hop

[00:01:36] Where you can either get paid or get shot

[00:01:38] When your product in stock

[00:01:39] The fair-weather friends flock

[00:01:40] When your chart position drop

[00:01:42] Then the phone calls

[00:01:43] Chill for a minute

[00:01:44] Let's see who else hot

[00:01:46] Snatch your shelf spot

[00:01:47] Don't gas yourself ock

[00:01:48] The industry just a better built cell block

[00:01:51] A long way from the shell tops

[00:01:53] And the bells that L rocked rock rock rock rock

[00:02:20] Hip Hop is prosecution evidence

[00:02:21] An out of court settlement

[00:02:23] Ad space for liquor

[00:02:24] Sick without benefits hungh

[00:02:26] Luxury tenements choking the skyline

[00:02:28] It's low life getting tree-top high

[00:02:30] It is a back water remedy

[00:02:32] Bitter and tender memory

[00:02:33] A class E felony

[00:02:35] Facing the death penalty hungh

[00:02:37] Stimulant and sedative original repetitive

[00:02:39] Violently competitive a school unaccredited

[00:02:42] The break beats you get broken with

[00:02:44] On time and inappropriate

[00:02:45] Hip Hop went from selling crack to smoking it

[00:02:47] Medicine for loneliness

[00:02:49] Remind me of Thelonius and Dizzy

[00:02:51] Propers to B-Boys getting busy

[00:02:53] The war-time snap shot

[00:02:55] The working man's jack-pot

[00:02:56] A two dollar snack box

[00:02:57] Sold beneath the crack spot

[00:02:59] Olympic sponsor of the black Glock

[00:03:01] Gold medalist in the back shot

[00:03:03] From the sovereign state of the have-nots

[00:03:05] Where farmers have trouble with cash crops woooo

[00:03:07] It's all-city like Phase 2

[00:03:09] Hip Hop will simply amaze you

[00:03:10] Praise you pay you

[00:03:12] Do whatever you say do

[00:03:13] But black it can't save you
