A

Lord,
Em

lord have mercy

All nice and peace and true,

follow me now, we say

Say Hi- Tek yes you're ruling hip- hop

Say J. Rawls yes you're ruling

hip- hop

Redefinition say you're ruling hip- hop

Say Black Star come to rock it non
Verse 2
Em

Yo, from the first to the last of it,

delivery is passionate

The whole and not the half of it,

vocab and not the math of it

Projectile that them blasted with,

accurate assassin shit

Me and Kweli close like,

Bethlehem and Nazareth

After this you be pressing rewind

on top your master disk

Shining like an asterisk for all those

that be gatherin'

Connectin' like a roundhouse from the

townhouse to the tenements

Cause all my Brooklyn residents,

heavy regiments

Don't believe, here the evidence,

where Brooklyn whoa

See that? Bound to take it all kid,

believe that

From where they sellin' tree at,

to where the police be at

Talib Kweli e- Kweli- ty yo tell

them where we be at
Verse 3
Em

Brooklyn, New York City where

they paint murals of Biggie

In cash we trust cause it's ghetto fabulous,

life look pretty

What a pity. Blunts is still fifty cents,

it's intense

Tree scents is dominant can't

be covered with incense

My presence felt my name is Kweli from

the Eternal Reflection

People thinkin' MC is short

hand for Mis Conception

Let me meditate, set it straight,

came to the conclusion

That most of these cats is featherweight,

let me demonstrate

Walkin' the streets is like battlin',

be careful with your body

You must know karate or think

your soul is bulletproof like Sade

Stop actin' like a bitch already,

be a visionary

And maybe you can see your name

in the column of obituary

Third rate teacher readin'

and talkin' about

"I knew he'd amount

to nothin'"

Neighbors like,

"He was the quiet type

Who'd have thought they

was frontin'?"

Talkin' and loud like you in

RCA, get carted away

With body parts and treys,

what a way to start your day

Yo it's like
Verse 4
Em

One, two, three

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it on to the tip- top

Best alliance in hip- hop, Y- O

I said one two three

It's kind of dangerous to

be a emcee

They shot Tupac and Biggie

Too much violence in hip- hop, Y- O
Verse 5
Em

I said Manhattan keep on makin' it

(Bo!), Brooklyn keep on takin' it (Bo!)

So relax we're takin' it back,

Redhook where we're livin' at

Plenty cats be strugglin' not

hustlin' and bubblin'

It ain't about production and,

what else we discussin'?

When the cock crows, my crop grows,

enable me to rock flows

Strivin' for perfection ever since

I was a snot- nosed

Colossal, true original B- boy apostle

Standin' on the rooftop with the,

Zulu gestapo
Verse 6
Em

You think you the shit

Somebody in the wings'll force

you to quit

It could be your crew or click

Or some random kid you smoked

Buddha with

Consider me the entity within the

industry without a history

Of spittin' the epitome, of stupidity,

livin' my life

Expressin' my liberty,

it gotta be done properly

My name is in the middle of e- Kweli- ty

People follow me and other

cats they hear him flow

And assume I'm the real one

with lyrics like I'm Cyrano
Verse 7
Em

Still sippin' wishin' well water,

imported, from Pluto

Three hundred and sixty

milliliters for all our believers

In miles or kilometers, most cats,

cannot proceed us

In the jungle with the leaders we

the lions you the cheaters

A cypher, will complete us if we

come through your receivers

You can play us and repeat us and then

take us home and read us

(Line for line) Good Jesus,

Mos Def and Kweli just

Make a pussy freeze up,

thinkin' we will ease up
Verse 8
Em

One, two, three

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it on to the tip- top

Best alliance in hip- hop, Y- O

I said one two three

It's kind of dangerous to be a emcee

They shot Tupac and Biggie
B

Hold your head when the beat drop, Y- O

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
