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