"What'd you do night?"

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

[spanish speaking Escuchela..

[Mos
The new moon high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
was tusslin, arguin and bustlin
Gangstaz of Gotham hardcore
I'm wrestlin words and ideas
My is picky, seekin what will transmit
the can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is
Tonight alive, let's describe the
The indisputable, we New York the
Strength in and fiber optics
where is paid to trade hot stock tips
for profits, thirsty criminals pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin class
is collosus, the cost of living
is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no
No and Robin, can't tell between
the and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts hardened
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like lights stay throbbin
You make a way or stay sobbin, the Shiny Apple
is bruised but and if you choose to eat
You could lose teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked
to savages, NASDAQ averages
My narrative, rose to this existance
Amidst the harbor lights which in the distance

So much on my that I 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
Heard the bass ride out an ancient mating call
I can't take it y'all, I can the city breathin
Chest heavin, against the of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last leaving

[Talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, on shitty steps
we stoop to new lows, hell the night the city slept
The beast through concrete jungles
communicatin with one
And ghetto birds where waters
from the to the gutters
The walk the beats, but the beats we be makin
You on the wrong side of the track, lookin shaken
Taken them plungers, plungin to death painted by the numbers
crime unapplied pressure, cats is playin God
but havin by a lesser baby mother but fuck it
we played each other like puppets, swearin you got pull
when the only pull you got is the wool your eyes
Gettin knowledge in jail a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for God, what you see the smog
is broken dreams flying on the wings of the obscene
that people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered a glare
But everything is
a paradox we call reality
So keepin it real will you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers Naturally like, Mickey and Mallory
Not the ways'll get you capped like an NBA salary
Some cats be emceeing to what we be seeing
to be a spiritual being when shit is shakin what you believe in
For trees to grow in Brooklyn, seeds to be planted
I'm asking if y'all feel me AND THE CROWD 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 type trife the Roman Empire state

[Mos Def and
So much on my mind I can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, smoke retrace the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, the flesh of the evening
Sigh before we die like the last train

[spanish speaking woman] Escuchela.. ??

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

[Mos Def and
So much on my mind I just recline
Blastin holes in the night til she sunshine
Breathe in, inhale from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient call
I take it y'all, I can feel the city breathing
heavin, against the flesh of the evening
Kiss the goodbye, I'm on the last train leaving
