(Talib Kwali): Yo, I was sold to a sick European by a African Battle-man, passages, I can't go back again. Battlin' years who denied lies, while wive's, watching with misty eyes watching niggas be beaten visciously this world is North America, ran by the river, stopping to pray. Change My Terrorists ediquiette, who vote and kill they president, capacity for evil so evident, and prevalent. Ain't no involved, a nation dissolved, while we sit back to evolve. Those trade they freedom for protection deserve neither. Fuck a name, tradition, religion, you learn Jesus. Turn the other cheek, Inherit the earth, just meek. the way you speak, you try to walk, they chop off your feet. Fast forward to Niggas beef. The psychology of choosin the run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, Beef? Hell Yeah, yeah Beef Hell Yeah, yeah Its always your own people, it's your own people X2
(Mos Def): Yo, Beef is not Jay said to Nas, Beef is when working niggas find jobs. So try to find niggas to rob, Try to find bigger guns so can finish the job. is when a crack-kid can't find moms, cause they in a box, or locked behind bars. Beef ain't the Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. Beef is the and AIDS epidemics. Beef come with a radio edit. Beef is the judge's callin you defendant. Beef, it come a long jail sentence, Handed to you in a few short minutes. Beef is when your come through for a visit, talkin 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 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 manicured out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm tellin wife, And startin up foul rumors that'll ruin your life." Beef is a gangster ain't doing it right, And other gangsters then decide to do his life. Beef is not what these 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 here with me. When a soldier ends his 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 call beef is no at all. Beef is real life, happenin day, And its than the songs that you gave to K-Slay. This has been a Black P.S.A. From Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Dante, From the Black Star B to the K!
