(Talib Kwali): Yo, I was sold to a sick 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 niggas be beaten visciously this world is North America, ran by the river, stopping to pray. My Predators: Terrorists with ediquiette, who vote and kill president, capacity for evil 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. a name, fuck tradition, religion, you learn Jesus. Turn the other cheek, the earth, just stay meek. Fuck the way you speak, you try to walk, they off your feet. Fast forward to 2003; beef. The of choosin the slaves run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, Beef? Hell Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah That's Yeah, yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Its always your own people, sometimes it's own people X2
(Mos Def): Yo, is not what Jay said to Nas, is when working niggas can't find jobs. So they try to find to rob, Try to bigger guns so they can finish the job. Beef is a crack-kid can't find moms, cause they in a pine box, or locked bars. Beef ain't the Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. is the Cocaine and AIDS epidemics. Beef don't come a radio edit. is when the judge's callin you defendant. Beef, it come with a 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 blood pressure, and bad credit; Need a for your home and you're too broke to get it. And all little kids is doin' is gettin bigger, You try to not raise around the wild niggas. is when a gold-digger got your seed in her, A hand out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm your wife, And startin up some foul rumors ruin your life." Beef is when a gangster doing it right, And other gangsters then to do with his life. Beef is not these famous niggas would do in the mic, Beef is what George would do in a fight. (that's right) Beef is not what Ja to Fifty. Beef is and earth(?) not being here with me. When a ends his life with his own gun, Beef is to figure out what to tell his son. is oil prices and Geopolitics; Beef is Iraq, the West Bank, and Strip. beef is big, and some 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 you gave to K-Slay. This has a Black Star P.S.A. Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Black Dante, From the Star Embassy B to the K!
