Relax, pump the You're speeding You'll smash your whole up (slow down) Lights be changing fast on these money, slow down (slow down) Sleeping on the wrong
Clear a megaphone nigga heart skipped the metronome Rocked the Tower to the terror dome Poor house to pleasure Soprano, alto, tenor to Mos Def one of the illest that you known Rock baby, you a stepping stone Smash foundation into pebbles My words leave nerves unsettled You take it to the next level Looking like a circus like you can't even get a pound Worldwide from the to lakeside My stage show stay live, make the sound man dive I cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball I'm home I'm done with all nine Got you shook like a fault Come all and get tarnished Brooklyn got your pay garnished form a huddle Whisper like they want I melt the ice into rainwater puddles Make the proud-hearted on the humble Black steel in the my skill form my power My poems crush into powder You mumble a coward I'm Mos Def, you to speak louder heroes! Get your power, your and capes snatched Brooklyn what you can't take back I know a lot of cats that All I can say There's a city full of you can post complaints at All the doubters and believers your receivers "I feel it," you can it through the speakers The six original sketch lyrics so visual They rent my rhyme at your nearest home video
