This Means You
作词:Tony Cottrell, Talib Kweli Greene, Dante Terrell Smith
Sometimes, you gotta be direct with the people Y'know like give it to 'em (C'mon) Yo, give it to 'em Get up now
Yo, we keep it type raw and know exactly what we fight for When the nightfall come, we in the right war Cats who spill blood for a cause, not just because Defy the authority and follow God's law
Revolutionary entrepreneurs who make the fans Clap they hands and stompin' the floor, not start the applause (Ah, sh, yeah) Thank you very much, without further adieu Let me introduce the rest of my crew, Mos Def
Yo, I am the world renowned verb, adjective, adverb Pronoun, preposition, suffix, prefix Original or remix, sunburst and eclipse Me and Kwe' combine like strands on a double-helix
My speech seasoned with dialect of my region Booga-nam, Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy Eastern Where youth and policemen, they nah reach agreement Pressure in the mornin', pressure in the evenin'
Hi Tek on the beat, brothers and sisters
You, need to get up, right now And move with this, yes, this means you You, you Yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah Alright yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh, yo, yo, yo Things changed since we came out Been some shit in New York Niggaz stopped gettin' jig in New York Bloods and Crips in New York
The Y2K celebration wasn't big in New York Babylon live in New York Should I keep a crib in New York or just V.I. To handle my B.I. when with my A-Alikes We see with three eyes
Yo Kweli, I agree I, was thinkin' the same thing myself Smog in the city ain't no good for your health Things changed in New York, type strange in New York Forty Deuce don't look the same in New York
Just politics, tricks and big games in New York Switched trains a writer can't get fame in New York Internet and Wall Street got paid in New York Poor folks and workin' class got slayed in New York 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网
Even still, everyday they make weight in New York Flashlights lookin' for a brighter day in New York In New York, they say it's red hot Will the temperature ease up? Black, I guess not It's multi-lane traffic, no sign for rest stops
No corner breaks, put on your gloves and just box No dance school to teach you to wop and bus stop Better get up in the booth, hop up and just rock If you think it's like that, it's not so just stop All mankind time runnin' down on one watch, just watch
If you are just comin' in I will say it once more so you can hear 'Cause you need to get up, right now And move with this, yes, this means you You, you
Yo, Mos Def and Talib Kweli bring disaster to the industry We bestsellin' authors, writin' great chapters in history These cats undercover like gay rappers dealin' with mystery My platinum gray matter, spray batter that's specifically
Designed to make rappers break faster than eggshells in the mornin' Inhaled the divine in that's laid dormant Water from the well, stay pourin', I answer back when I hear fate callin' Freedom fighter ready to attack at the crack of a new day dawnin'
Way more than necessary skills for the application My flow is great like the lakes and it rocks like Appalachians My facts more than make up for what you lack in imagination You more confused than Tiger Woods when he made up Cabalaysian I'm sayin'
Break bounds like the jet Concorde Win awards before I leave for my world award tour When they scream encore, that's when they want more Flow steadily, whether I'm on or off shore
High potent, zone coastin', no jokin' Safecracker sniff gon' keep the joint open Peep the focus, high resolution, high reception My 'Train of Thought' connectin' With my brethren from Reflection like
You need to get up, right now And move with this, yes, this means you, again You need to get up, right now And move with this, yes, this means you, we goin'
New York, Philly, Chicago, Detroit Miami, D.C., L.A., the world London, Amsterdam, Paris, Japan Any place that a human bein' might stand, we goin'
