(feat. Mos Def and Common)

[Alicia Keys:]

C'mon!

[music begins]

[Mos Def:]

Yes yes yes...

Uh, a yes yes y'all (freak freak y'all)

A-freak freak y'all!

Freak freak y'all - fifteen!

(Ohh!) A yes yes y'all

[Put them hands in the air, y'all!]

[Yo, now put them hands in the air y'all]

Waddup, Brook-LYYYYYYYYYYYYYN!!

[Common:]

And just clap your hands y'all

A freak freak y'all - and ya don't stop

A to the beat y'all - and ya don't stop

A freak freak y'all - and ya don't stop

A to the beat (y'alllllllllll!!!)

[Common:]

Yo, mad love for the culture

Since the days of Adidas and hip-hop posters

Now I host with Mos and just to boast to brag

a bit about it, 'cause I cain't live without it

Seen her on the streets when I was like ten

Especially's of a lagged and young black man

Do backspins in backyards cause we rap harder

People that lack [?], now we black stars

Gift from God - they said we must be crazy

Now they sayin Common, Nasir, and Jay-Z

Leaders of tomorrow, follow the steps of

Africans rap in the ghettos makin it spressed up

Yo we bring the light, we do it tonight

Alicia Keys and Mos Def bring it right

We come down and bam, and rock who I am

Com Sense, yo; I'm wit the fam, yo

[Chorus x2: sung in tune of Brand Nubian's "Love it or Leave It Alone"]

You gotta love it, or leave it alone

You gotta love it, or leave it alone

You gotta love it, or leave it alone

You gotta love it, or leave it alone

[Mos Def:]

(Mos Def) Yo, peep it out while I tell you like this

A fresh to the soil, be sure you don't miss

It's the, true for ya, true feature

I could go on for days about it screamin "Alicia!"

Walkin down the block with brother Com Sense

Comrade Com Sense, so what the heck so I -

show this fresh girl that you always sure

Before and then my heart should be adored and

cain't front, another ignore

It's Aquarius love and highly secure

Daje Mahal, and really gettin in

and fantasize of my life for a one or two winners

And my man Com Sense just stopped and said

"Yo stop frontin' and use your head!"

A-said "Yo stop frontin' and use your head!"

A-said "Yo stop frontin' and use your FUCKIN head.." (OHHHHH!!)

[Chorus x2: with ad-libs]

[Alicia Keys: interlude]

Right about now, I wanna thank everybody for comin out

and rockin with me tonight

I wanna give a big-up, to my man Mos Def

My man Common Sense, my man Krucial

My man Ills, the whole M.B.K. fam

The whole Krucial Keys fam, and MTV

And everybody out th-ere say "yeah!!" [crowd cheers]

Yeah!

Said everybody out th-ere say "yeah!!"

(YEEEEEAHHH)

C'mon, and alright

I need y'all to give it up, for Pablo on percussion

for Paul John on drums, Onree Gill on M.D.

Anaysha, Sara, Jermaine, AND, Denise on backgrounds

Steve on the bass, oh

Artie on the gee-tar (yaaaay), Jeff's on the horns (oh)

AYE-YAY-YAY, and the string quartets

Ray Chew and, the Crunks

Oh, oh (one-two), you know

[Chorus x2: with ad-libs and variations]

Uh, WE WOOOOOOOOON!!
