"What'd you do night?"
"We did umm, two whole
It was me, Dez, and Main right?
And on the first car in small it said
'All you see is..' and you know
big, big, you some block silver letters

"It just up the whole car?"
"Yeah yeah, it was a car and shit..."

[spanish woman] Escuchela..

[Mos
The new moon rode high in the crown of the
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, and bustlin
Gangstaz of hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with words and
My is picky, seekin what will transmit
the scribes can to transcript, yo
This no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New the narcotic
in metal and fiber optics
where is paid to trade hot stock tips
for profits, thirsty criminals pockets
Hard knuckles on the second of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No Batman and Robin, tell between
the cops and the robbers, both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back stay darkened
unbeliever hearts stay hardened
My eagle talons sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Apple
is but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, NASDAQ
My narrative, rose to this existance
Amidst the harbor which remain in the distance

So much on my mind that I recline
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Heard the bass out like an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Sigh before we die like the last train

[Talib
Breathin in deep breaths, sittin on shitty steps
we stoop to new lows, hell the night the city slept
The crept through concrete jungles
with one another
And ghetto birds where fall
from the hydrants to the
The beast walk the beats, but the beats we be
You on the wrong of the track, lookin visibly shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to death that's by the numbers
with crime unapplied pressure, cats is God
but havin children by a lesser mother but fuck it
we played against each like puppets, swearin you got pull
the only pull you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for God, what you see besides the
is broken dreams flying on the wings of the obscene
Thoughts that put in the air
Places where you get murdered over a glare
But everything is
It's a paradox we reality
So keepin it real will make you of abnormal normality
Killers Born Naturally like, and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an NBA
Some cats be emceeing to what we be seeing
Hard to be a spiritual being when is shakin what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds need to be
I'm asking if y'all feel me AND THE LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure boiled and rose, cause New niggaz
actin spoiled at shows, to the winners the go
I take the L, transfer to the 2, head to the
New York life type trife the Empire state

Def and crew]
So much on my mind I just can't
Blastin in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors bright stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo don't the bass out like an ancient mating call
I can't it y'all, I can feel the city breathin
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die the last train leaving

speaking woman] Escuchela.. respirando ??

Yo...on The Amen, Corner I stood lookin at my former
Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was gone for
dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions, I hadn't mastered
I coreograph seven steps to
And hell, waiting to exhale and the bread leavened
Veteran of a cold war Chica-I-go for
What I know or, what's
So some days I take the bus home, just to home
From the crib I spend months
Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin to cuss long
Young with weak minds, but they butt strong
Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but didn't a touch-tone
It's a world, you gotta mush on
Some of this land I own
Outta the city, they us gone
Tearin down the 'jects creatin homes
My is between Cabrini and Love Jones
Surrounded by hate, yet I love
Ask my God how he thought travellin the sound
Found it hard to imagine he hadn't been past
It's deep, I the city breathe in its sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's to keep
Deep, I heard my man in his sleep
Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to

[Mos Def and
So much on my I just can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she sunshine
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright that shine
Breathe out, weed retrace the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the breathing
Chest heavin, against the of the evening
the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train leaving
