(Talib Kwali): Yo, I was sold to a sick European by a African Battle-man, Middle passages, I can't go again. Battlin' years who history's lies, mystery's wive's, watching with misty eyes watching niggas be beaten visciously Battling this is North America, ran by the river, only to pray. My Predators: Terrorists ediquiette, who vote and kill they president, Their capacity for so evident, and prevalent. Ain't no involved, a nation dissolved, we sit back waitin' to evolve. Those who'd trade freedom for protection deserve neither. Fuck a name, fuck tradition, religion, you Jesus. Turn the other cheek, Inherit the earth, just meek. Fuck the way you speak, you try to walk, they off your feet. forward to 2003; Niggas beef. The psychology of the slaves run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, Beef? Hell Yeah, yeah That's Hell Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Its always your own people, sometimes 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 bigger guns so they can finish the job. Beef is when a crack-kid can't moms, they in a pine box, or locked behind bars. Beef the summer Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. is the Cocaine and AIDS epidemics. Beef don't come a radio edit. Beef is when the callin you defendant. Beef, it come with a jail sentence, Handed to you in a few short minutes. Beef is when your girl through for a visit, talkin bout her pregnant, by other nigga. is high blood pressure, and bad credit; Need a loan for your home and you're too to get it. And all your kids is doin' is gettin bigger, You try to not raise around the wild niggas. Beef is when a gold-digger got seed in her, A manicured out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm your wife, And startin up some foul rumors that'll ruin life." is when 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 George Bush would do in a fight. (that's right) Beef is not Ja said to Fifty. Beef is world and earth(?) not here with me. When a soldier ends his 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 beef is big, and beef is small, But what call beef is no beef at all. is real life, happenin every day, And its real-er than the songs that you to K-Slay. This has been a Black P.S.A. Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Black Dante, From the Star Embassy B to the K!
