Song by Mos Def<br /><br>

[Mos Def]<br>

Yeah, ha ha ha<br>

A-B-boys rock the world<br>

CD's and tapes help generate papes<br>

E-F is the important Def<br>

G-good, H is what style be<br>

When I grab the microphone and MC<br>

Roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P<br>

And when I am done you will agree<br>

Mos Def represent most definitely<br>

Jesus what I used to rock it in '83<br>

Drank up all the Kool-Aid at the block party<br>

Used to wish I could break the Rock Steady<br>

Wash this be the brown shoe on TV<br>

But now it's not dis and it's on like THIS<br>

My name is Mos Def, this is good as it gets<br>

Baby I make you rub your lips like sardines and grits<br>

My what still hits even when the record skip<br>

Even when the record skip<br>

Even when the record skip<br>

I don't quit, I don't quit<br>

We bout to make this one a sure hit<br>

Sean J. make the party people feel it<br>

<br>

(Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to introduce a very<br>

Interesting young man that has traveled from very far <br>

Away to be with us tonight)<br>

<br>

[Mos Def]<br>

Ha ha ha, what uh-huh<br>

There is such a place, that creates such a melody BROOKLYN<br>

No ladies it's a ?living G?, it's a living G, it's a living G<br>

LOVE LIKE THIS<br>

Recognize all area crew, whether you speak Japanese or Goony Goo Goo<br>

Son when I come through, other rappers boo-hoo<br>

Cuz they know they style's soft like baby doo-doo<br>

I will continue, to hit like a fifth of stolen Naya<br>

Puttin jokers on ice to get the cream like Breyer<br>

No secret, Mos Def is the one that hunts a Mya<br>

I get in my stance and set the dance on FIRE<br>

Spread out my wings and I take the world HIGHER<br>

Peace to the fam magnetic in the Chi<br>

Job-on, top Sean and my man Ahtu<br>

And all my other clan who reside in the Zoo<br>

Got a celebrated oatmeal broadcast crew<br>

Mos Def gon keep it naked like Um Fu-Fu (EDDIE!!)<br>

Put it here to the tape like crazy glue<br>

So when they bounce out of speakers they stick to you<br>

The way that I communicate is non-typical<br>

But high level like a 3-D visual<br>

I hold the mic extensive, exhibit level and dimension<br>

I radiate the space like a up-right bass<br>

Son I leave crews laced and escape wit no trace<br>

Sound official like the finish time at a horse race<br>

Here to put it in place, for the nine-uno-seis<br>

Mos Def set the pace, make your fam give chase<br>

<br>

Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it<br>

Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific<br>

It's like that and you don't stop<br>

It goes onto the rhythm you don't stop<br>

Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it<br>

The Universal Magnetic B-BOY, scientific y'all<br>

You don't stop, it goes onto the rhythm bust it<br>

<br>

Baby it's in my chromosomes to ROCK<br>

Microphones sets who wanna test the M-O <br>

Best to leave that *nigga* alone<br>

I make no bones or poems about droppin bars<br>

I make the world full swing under the Mos Def YES<br>

I ring the alarm like tennis sore<br>

My style hella-raw, I keep it raw bone like Skeletor<br>

And you should go and tell your clientele<br>

That they need to get The Message like Melle Mel<br>

I got the -- locked like a Death Row show<br>

And if I ain't a b-boy, Premier never used a bell (ding ding)<br>

So tell your boy, (what) crew to retire<br>

Before I make they *ass* catch fire like Richard Pryor<br>

Nondescriptive fiendin for riches, callin earths *bitches*<br>

But most of y'all brothers is livin wit your mothers<br>

Your Boogie Man yankin up your covers<br>

Sharper than some new box cutters, on Parkay's and butters<br>

And Stevie Wonder's, to make you run and tell the others<br>

The beat lovers, and play my jam like the numbers<br>

Son I rock the globe like I rocked your boat<br>

I'm bout to tap it on your shoulder cuz you got to know<br>

<br>

Now raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it<br>

The Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific<br>

Like that, and you don't stop<br>

It goes onto the rhythm you don't stop<br>

And raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it<br>

Universal Magnetic B-BOY, (hooo!!) scientific <br>

You don't stop, it goes onto the rhythm you don't stop<br>

Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it<br>

Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific<br>

Like that, and you don't stop<br>

It go onto the rhythm you don't stop<br>

Now raise your hands in the air everybody get wit it<br>

The Universal Magnetic in a b-boy stance<br>

<br>
