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

[spanish speaking Escuchela..

Def]
The new moon rode high in the of the metropolis
Shinin, who on top of this?
People was tusslin, and bustlin
Gangstaz of hardcore hustlin
I'm wrestlin with and ideas
My is picky, seekin what will transmit
the can apply to transcript, yo
This no time where the usual is suitable
alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the
in metal and fiber optics
where mercenaries is paid to hot stock tips
for profits, thirsty take pockets
Hard on the second hands of workin class watches
Skyscrapers is collosus, the of living
is preposterous, alive, you play or die, no options
No and Robin, can't tell between
the cops and the robbers, they both partners, all heartless
no conscience, back streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay
My eagle talons STAY sharpened, like city stay throbbin
You either make a way or stay sobbin, the Shiny
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 explain this
Amidst the harbor lights remain in the distance

So on my mind that I can't recline
Blastin holes in the night til she bled
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the
Heard the bass ride out like an ancient call
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, against the of the evening
before we die like the last train leaving

[Talib
Breathin in deep city breaths, on shitty steps
we to new lows, hell froze the night the city slept
The crept through concrete jungles
communicatin one another
And ghetto birds where waters
the hydrants 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 that's painted by the numbers
with crime pressure, cats is playin God
but havin children by a lesser mother but fuck it
we played against each like puppets, swearin you got pull
when the only you got is the wool over your eyes
Gettin knowledge in like a blessing in disguise
Look in the for God, what you see besides the smog
is broken flying away on the wings of the obscene
that people put in the air
Places where you could get murdered a glare
But is fair
It's a paradox we reality
So keepin it real will you casualty of abnormal normality
Killers Born Naturally like, and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped an NBA salary
Some be emceeing to illustrate 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 me AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED
My blood pressure and rose, cause New York niggaz
spoiled at shows, to the winners the spoils go
I take the L, to the 2, head to the gates
New York life type trife the Roman Empire

[Mos Def and
So much on my mind I just can't
Blastin holes in the til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke the skyline
Yo don't the bass ride out like an ancient mating
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 train leaving

[spanish speaking Escuchela.. respirando ??

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

Def and crew]
So much on my I just can't recline
holes in the night til she bled sunshine
Breathe in, inhale from bright stars that shine
out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
Yo how the bass ride out like an ancient mating
I can't take it y'all, I can feel the city
Chest heavin, against the flesh of the
Kiss the Ide's goodbye, I'm on the last train
