Mos Def f Talib Kweli - Black on Both Sides слова песни
[Mos Def]Hey, hey, heyyy manI Strike the Empire Back..I Strike the Empire Back..Fuck the Empire!!High flyin like the Millenium Falcon, piloted by Han SoloI never roll for dolo, frontin on me`s a no-noUnderstand? Doin this for my familyHa ha, check it out y`allYo I`m tryin to make a dollar out of what makes senseAdd it up, told my daddy I`d be a rich manYou never know when your fate gon` switch handGet today`s solid ground out of yesterday`s quicksandI was a young boy -- who dreamt about being a big manon small looseleaf sheets I sketched a big planGotta handle business properly, boost up my economyStore it up and get my mom some waterfront propertyYesterday was not for me but nowaday it`s time for meThe streets is watchin me, I watch back, that`s the policyMovin along my oddesey like blood through the arteryNavigate the treacherous and make it seem effortlessLet those who make the exodus seekin the North beaconfrom beatin and hog-eatin, from punishment all seasonfrom hands cracked and bleedin -- cotton thorns in your palmsIt`s for y`all that I sketch these songs, and it goes..Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadowI fear no man, because faith is the aarowMy vocal chord travel worldwide to block narrowWe can blow with the ammo or go mano-a-manoKweli is you wit me? (Whattup whattup?) Let`s make it happenI *BURN* through your argument with actionMy eyes stay fastened to tomorrow lookin for a brighter dayWhen y`all wanna leave y`all? Right awayShout it out from East-West (from South to Northern)From Cakalak` (to California)From the coldest (to the warmest)To the borders (`cross the waters) understand.. ".. and know that I love you.."We got love in the placeShout out to all the Queens (all the Seeds)To all the teams (that`s gettin cream)From outlaw (to emcee`s)Make it happen (do your thing) understand.. ".. and know that I love you.."Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen[Talib Kweli]Guess who? The illest MC in the atmosphere, yeah the Soul Controllerwho roam the frontier like a Buffalo SoldierI follow the code of honor like a real man gonnaNever disrespect no women cause I love my mommaThese cats be givin us praise but it ain`t that accurateI give it up to God, all that, love and attachment, getscary well-prepared with the shears when it get hairylike how these niggaz is lookin like some fairies and singin like canaries to the beastand anybody who will listen to em clearlyY`all don`t hear me though, even when I`m comin through in stereoYou make a mockery of what I represent properlyYo why you startin me? I take that shit straight to the arteryIntellectual property I got the title and the deedI pay for rent, with the tears and sweat, and what I bleedMC`s imitate the way we walk, the way we talkYou cats spit lyrical pork with no spiritual thoughtPlus your flow a little bit off, you come across softBack in the days, niggaz like that on stage got tossed offNeed to get crossed off the guestlistIt`s like you gotta be disrespected and thrown out the exitto get the messageSometimes your sunshine get snatched like a necklacewhen you get too drunk on power and your drive get recklessCheck it, MC`s in my face after I slug you then I hug youIf I gotta dead you know it`s only cause I love you[Mos Def]Shout it out from East-West (from South to Northern)From the richest (to the poorest)To the elders (in the coffins)Livin native (dyin for it) understand.. ".. and know that I love you.."Yea, yea, we got love in the placeShout out from up top (to the middle)To black bottom (SKY HIGH)Whether you colder than Decemberor hotter, than JulyIt don`t stop `til we complete this(".. and know that I love you..") keep this flyIt`s so much to life when you juststay black (10X)My people, my people, my people people p-people (8X)My PE-ople, oh-oh-OH-oh-OHH, oh-OHH...
