Mos Def Lyrics
"Dead Prez"

... is all a young nigga wanna be
So I took the track hands and danced on the beat
All the other way I know gonna send me to the penitentiary
On the bars, I wanna feel, all the words that I steal
Real, if you pay to listen,
it's just a few dollars for a whole lot of wisdom
If it's beef I can ... like a mention
My town gutter like Memphis
And you ain't gotta visit, just ask Memphis
The pimping ass niggas hating on a young innmate
I can tell they jealous so I bought the toast in case
Coolie niggas and I still murda...
Diamonds in my bezel all black like a silhouette
... so everyday steady repeating
... on that south side block
he was just a young git back then
now it's money up... we ain't friends
... from the hands of a case
enough of that beef shit, we seen better days
... only nigga from the pj's...
and let the young niggas take the shot...
but when the money goes, do the honey stay?
...powder man... getting ... of my fingers
in the kitchen... but when the man dies, a child is born
...no excuse for that... that's a fact
but i ... mad... rp ... see you when i get there bloody
...started on the high block...
I reminiscence all you niggas...
but it's brow before hoes
my mama say late night phone calls make her nervous
...she say baby you gotta pray, baby I do
... I wonder what... for a few ... I seen niggas... for real
for a few ... I seen niggas... for real.
