(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 eyes watching they be beaten visciously Battling world is North America, ran by the river, stopping to pray. Change My with ediquiette, who vote and kill they president, Their capacity for so evident, and prevalent. Ain't no hesitation involved, a dissolved, we sit back waitin' to evolve. Those who'd trade they freedom for protection neither. Fuck a name, fuck tradition, religion, you Jesus. Turn the other cheek, Inherit the earth, stay meek. Fuck the way you speak, you try to walk, they chop off feet. Fast to 2003; Niggas beef. The of choosin the slaves run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, What's Hell Yeah, yeah Beef Hell Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Its always your own people, sometimes your own people X2
(Mos Def): Yo, Beef is not Jay said to Nas, Beef is working niggas can't find jobs. So they try to niggas to rob, Try to find guns so they can finish the job. Beef is when a can't find moms, cause in a pine box, or locked behind bars. ain't the summer Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. Beef is the and AIDS epidemics. Beef don't come a radio edit. Beef is the judge's callin you defendant. Beef, it come a long jail sentence, Handed down to you in a few minutes. Beef is when your come through for a visit, bout her pregnant, by some other nigga. Beef is high blood pressure, and bad Need a loan for home and you're too broke to get it. And all little kids is doin' is gettin bigger, You try to not them around the wild niggas. Beef is when a gold-digger got seed in her, A manicured out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm tellin wife, And startin up some foul rumors that'll your life." Beef is when a ain't 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 George Bush would do in a fight. (that's right) Beef is not Ja said to Fifty. Beef is world and earth(?) not being here me. When a soldier his life with his own gun, is trying to figure out what to tell his son. Beef is oil and Geopolitics; is Iraq, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip. Some beef is big, and some is small, But what y'all beef is no beef at all. Beef is real life, happenin day, And its real-er than the songs that you to K-Slay. This has a Black Star P.S.A. From Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Dante, From the Black Star B to the K!
