(Talib Kwali): Yo, I was to a sick European by a rich African Battle-man, Middle passages, I go back again. Battlin' years who denied lies, while mystery's wive's, watching with misty watching they be beaten visciously this world is North America, ran by the river, stopping to pray. My Predators: Terrorists with ediquiette, who and kill they president, Their capacity for so evident, and prevalent. Ain't no hesitation involved, a dissolved, while we sit back to evolve. Those who'd they freedom for protection deserve neither. Fuck a name, fuck tradition, religion, you Jesus. the other cheek, Inherit the earth, just stay meek. Fuck the way you speak, you try to walk, chop off your feet. Fast forward to 2003; beef. The psychology of choosin the run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, What's Hell Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah That's Yeah, yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Its always own people, sometimes it's your own people X2
(Mos Def): Yo, is not what Jay said to Nas, Beef is when working niggas can't jobs. So they try to niggas to rob, Try to find guns so they can finish the job. is when a crack-kid can't find moms, cause they in a pine box, or behind bars. Beef the summer Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. Beef is the and AIDS epidemics. don't come with a radio edit. Beef is when the judge's you defendant. Beef, it with a long jail sentence, Handed down to you in a few minutes. Beef is your girl come through for a visit, bout her pregnant, by some other nigga. Beef is high pressure, and bad credit; Need a for your home and you're too broke to get it. And all your kids is doin' is gettin bigger, You try to not raise them around the niggas. Beef is when a gold-digger got seed in her, A hand out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm tellin wife, And startin up some rumors that'll ruin your life." Beef is when a gangster doing it right, And other gangsters decide to do with his life. Beef is not these famous niggas would do in the mic, Beef is what George Bush do in a fight. (that's right) Beef is not what Ja to Fifty. Beef is world and earth(?) not here with me. When a soldier his life with his own gun, Beef is trying to out what to tell his son. Beef is oil prices and Beef is Iraq, the West Bank, and Strip. Some is big, and some beef is small, But what y'all call beef is no at all. Beef is real life, happenin day, And its real-er than the songs you gave to K-Slay. This has a Black Star P.S.A. From Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Dante, From the Star Embassy B to the K!
