[Mos Def mumbling]
Centralised or way out in the sticks

[Intro]
Ha ha ha ha
Ha, ha ha ha ha
Ha! Ha ha ha ha
Ah-ha ha ha, ah-ha ha ha ha, ha!!

[Hook: De La & Mos Def]
Now, this goes out to all area cliques
Centralized or way out in the sticks
Remember to keep the De La in the mix
Just like log cabin syrup, our sound is game thick
Now, this goes out to all area cliques
From manicured lawns to projects bricks / from 718 to the 51-6
Remember to keep the Mos Def in the mix
Straight butter hits, drop as good as it gets

[Verse 1: Mos Def, Dove & Posdonus]
Now, come on, y’all, get live, get down
What we have is a brand new sound
So don’t none of y’all just be misled
The De La’s gonna do the body good like wheat bread
Shakin’ laces outta shoes, Mos Def brought the brews
Sittin’ Indian squats to make that bread tie knots
See, I’m out to get the coin like in them rainbow pots (Wooo!)
Swingin’ life like a hammock, invested like stocks
Through your sinus complex, I aims to clog it up
Slappin’ fives with pain is a crew here to gain
We remain on your mind like skulls
Not a dull moment shown
When in the house, all perimeters are blown
Native Tongue come through to make you say, “Yes! Yes!”
This is the mighty Mos Def, style fresh like baby breath
We are the killer combination with the size to administer
The beatdown to swell up all three of your eyes

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Hold, hold onto each other
Hold, hold onto each other
(This is what the world sounds like)
Nah, f–k you, n—a

You got me f–ked up
F–k you, f–k you

I swear, I’m tired of these emotional ass, ungrateful ass b—hes (shut the f–k up)
Unstable ass, confrontational ass dumb b—hes
You wanna bring a n—a down even when I’m tryna do right
We could go our separate ways right now
You could move on with your life, I swear to God

F–k you n—a, you love a pity party, I won’t show up
Always act like your s–t don’t stink, motherf–ker, grow up
Forever late for s–t, won’t buy s–t, sit around and deny s–t (man)
F–k around on a side b—h, then come f–kin’ up my s–t
What? F–kin’ up yo’ s–t? You must be bleedin’ and more s–t
B—h, I don’t know s–t, f–k yo’ feelings (you some on h-e s–t)

[DJ Dahi:]

Ooh, that p—y good, it’s to die for (on fire)

[Kendrick Lamar & Rihanna:]
It’s a secret society

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Kung Fu Kenny now
My resume is real enough for two millenniums
A better way to make a wave, stop defendin’ them
I meditate and moderate all of my wins again
I’m hangin’ on the fence again
I’m always on your mind
I put my lyric and my lifeline on the line
And ain’t no limit when I might shine, might grind
You rollin’ with it at the right time, right now
(Only for the dollar sign)

Yeah, original crooks, original heads. We doin’ it like this

Word up!

I woke up in the morning, hopped on a train I saw my man
He had an L in his hand, hide it from the beast
At least I catch a bus before I hit my block
I take a mega hit frontin’ on the good chip lollipop
Move the hop so I can put the hip in the grip
Everybody slip so I can take a trip to the dip
Dig a deeper hole microphone control with soul
Look at my hot eye’s tell me how could you be cold
I’m coming to you from the underground, with a thunder sound
#1 question, “Yo how can I be down?”

[Verse 1]
I am Posdnous
I be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
the pile of revenue I create
But I guess I don’t get a cut cuz my rent’s a month late
Product of a North Carolina cat
who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie
Who departed life just a little too soon
and didn’t see me grab the Plug Tune fame
As we go a little somethin’ like this
look ma, no protection

Word up Son, s–t is ill kid..
Knahmsayin? Bein that we livin the motherf–kin trife life
Don’t have another day right?
It’s only right
Let me put you on to what happens Son, never believe this s–t
Kick that s–t

[Prodigy]
It’s just another day, drownin my troubles with a forty
That’s when I got the call from this brownskin shorty
She asked me where’s my crew at? Said we could do whatever
She got her crew too, and said that we should get together
I said, “Aight — just call me back in a hour
so I can take a shower and gather up the manpower”
Then I hung up the horn
And I thought to myself that it might be on
Cause this trick ain’t pick up the phone to call me in years (Why?)
Ever since I left the hoe lonely in tears
Ain’t no tellin what her friends puttin up in her ears
Ideas of settin me up, I’m not tryin ta hear
(Check it out, Son) So we take the gats for precautions
Plus this trick live in Brooklyn, home of the coffin
She might got a whole batallion of Bucktowners
Waitin for us to get up off the train and surround us
Or maybe, I’m blowin this s–t out of proportion
But this s–t do happen, to n—az very often
So f–k it, a n—a gotta do what he meant to
My crew got my back, f–k the world is my mental
We put together five soldiers, the bitch called
My blood curdled, told me to meet her on Myrtle
Got to the plaza, we’re waitin for the G train
We put a plan together, just in case the beef came

I move with the elegance of an African elephant
I presented the evidence eloquent as the president
Evident is the emphasis, I deserve me a championship
But before I banana clip I’ma chill so my man can rip

[El-P:]
Little man against Hellion with the heart of an orphan
I got the words of a murderer and an eye for distortion
You take a slice of my portion, I’ll take a piece of your profit
I drive at illegal speeds, Keep an O.Z in my pocket
