  Re:definition, turning your play into a tragedy
  Exhibit level degree on the mic, passionately
  Niggaz is sweet so i bet if i bit i'd get a cavity
  Livin to get high, you ain't flyer than gravity
  We die hard like the battery done in the back of me by the mad mc
  Who think imitation is the highest form of flattery, actually
  Don't be mad at me, i had to be the one to break it to you
  You get kicked into obscurity like judo, no menudo
  Cause you pseudo, tryin to compete with reality like xerox
  Towards destruction you spiraling like hairlocks, wipe them teardrops
  Chasing stars in your eyes, playing games with your lives
  Now the wives is widows soakin up pillows, weepin like willows
  Still mo' blacks is dyin, kids ain't livin they tryin
  "how to make a slave" by willie lynch is still applyin
  Regardless, the mos is one of my closest partners
  Rockin ever since before prince was called the artist
  Rocker before funkmaster flex was rockin starter
  When 'pac and biggie was still cool before they was martyrs
  Life or death, if i'm choosin with every breath i'm enhancin
  Stop, there comes a time when you can't run
  
  [mos def]
  What, lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom
  Jams i write soon become the ghetto anthem
  Way out like bruce wayne's mansion, move like a phantom
  You'll talk about me to your grandsons
  Cats who claimin they hard be mad fag
  So i run through em like, flood water through sandbags
  Competition is mad, what i got, they can't have
  Sinkin they ship, like moby dick, did ahab
  Son i'm way past the minimum, it's a verb millenium
  My rap's the holy ? in your bag, like palestinians
  Ancient abyssinian, try to ? the ?
  Official b-boy gentlemen won't turn off at the interim
  Born inside the winter wind, day after december 10
  These simpletons they mentionin the synonym for feminine
  Sweeter than some cinnamon the danish brings rotten to men
  Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them
  (gentlemen) without a tenament more than a ?
  Leave your unit tremblin like herds of movin elephant
  Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element
  From flatbush settlement, skin posseses melanin
  Hotter than tales of crack peddlin, makin em woop
  Like blue gelatin, swing like duke ellington
  Broader than barrington levy, believe me
  The hot oppresion rent who burn down your chief teepee
  You see me?
