Song by Mos Def<br /><br>

[Hard Black]<br>

Peep the math<br>

Mau Mau be about land and freedom<br>

Reperation and apologies, for Africa to America oddesseys<br>

Guerilla-type tactics on them socialistic fallacies<br>

It be about, the devestations of the social doministic thought<br>

Keep a brown man down sport<br>

They wantin to keep our (?) set nigga<br>

The way Franz Fanon put it, you lucky I ain't "wretched" yet<br>

<br>

[Big Black - Mos Def]<br>

Yo, you fucked up in the game now<br>

It's Big Black, Mr. Chairman of the Mau Mau<br>

I hear the world in all-black surround sound<br>

Barricaded so you can't move around now<br>

Doin this for my clan that ain't around now<br>

Buried six feet deep beneath the ground now<br>

My loud sound pound down make the earth crush in and bow down<br>

There's faultlines in the ground now - shake 'em down<br>

<br>

[Smooth Black - Charli Baltimore]<br>

Black Chevy, Mau Maus, gats ready<br>

BLAOW BLAOW, black deadly, femme fatale<br>

Underground, rats in this rat race<br>

and black race cats sell out to the blackface<br>

and rag grin, laugh not my light skin<br>

be S-M-O-O-T-H from pH<br>

UHH, backseat strappin in<br>

cause I'm the only bitch with Big Black and them<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, gun ready<br>

Bout to attack the track when BLAK IZ BLAK<br>

Well how black? BLAK HEART, BLAK MIND, BLAK SOUL<br>

Mau Maus (HOOTIE HOO!) We was born to roll!<br>

Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, aim fire<br>

Bout to attack the track when BLAK IZ BLAK<br>

How black? BLAK WOMB TIL WE REACH THE BLACK HEARSE<br>

What's black? - SHADE OF THE UNIVERSE<br>

<br>

[Mo Black - Canibus]<br>

Yo, yo<br>

Yo when Mo Black start to black out bitches pass out<br>

Stick my black dick in they mouth and dig they back out<br>

Black monk like Thesalonius, the government got a black phobia<br>

That's why they tap my black Nokia<br>

Black fathers, black mothers, black brothers<br>

handcuffed to each other, goin upstate in black buses<br>

Black thugs, wrap drugs in backwoods<br>

Smoke til they got black tongues, black lips and black lungs<br>

Blak iz blak, wack MC's get smacked<br>

Forced to go home and dial 1-800-I-CAN'T-RAP<br>

<br>

[1/16th Black - MC Serch]<br>

Aiyyo who that? Yo right there; blue eyes, and black hair<br>

Kill 'em with a rhyme, or the bottom of my Nike Airs<br>

So quick son pick one, you don't want me to finish<br>

or I'll quickly take you to 1950 and do you like the British<br>

Head on a spear, contusions ear to ear<br>

For Africa Maxima, I'ma drive you out of here<br>

Mr. 1/16th, born to kill your self esteem<br>

Born from part devil, part cracker from Queens<br>

Knowledge that we drop, you don't even build with<br>

That's like me winnin a rap Grammy, givin it to Lyn(?) Smith<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Jo Black]<br>

Yo, yo<br>

Everything black is wack and shit<br>

Blackheads, blackmail, black cats and shit<br>

Funerals, niggaz gotta wear black and shit<br>

Black cars, black clothes on they backs and shit<br>

Blackballed, if we don't kiss they ass and shit<br>

Blacklisted see ya nigga, and you're gone that's it<br>

White bitches, they wanna be black and shit<br>

Tan lotion on they white flat ass and shit<br>

<br>

[Double Black]<br>

Aiyyo all the Mau Maus gather up and let's attack<br>

because they're tryin to fuck with our images<br>

and I think that shit is crazy wack<br>

And as a matter of fact, they want us niggaz<br>

to smile and laugh - I guess they never seen a bloodbath<br>

Brothers and sisters are dyin, babies are bein taken out<br>

So what the fuck they want me to rap about?<br>

About how happy I am, to be livin in the slum<br>

where little shorties walk around totin big guns<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Hard Black droppin science, born to roll<br>

Mau Maus droppin science, born to roll<br>

Hard Black droppin science, born to roll<br>

Mau Maus droppin science, born to roll<br>

<br>

[Hard Black]<br>

Nigga, nigga you think these rhymes?<br>

You think they fuckin rhymes? This this this this PHILOSOPHY<br>

This the end of redneck-ass catastrophes<br>

Puttin a plunger in the, ass of my history!<br>

Forty-one shots of reality for the generations to come after me!<br>

As it be, hell hath no FURY like a black man scorned<br>

Nigga BLAK IZ BLAK, you've officially been warned<br>

Nigga - you've officially been warned<br>

You hear me? You've you you've OFFICIALLY BEEN WARNED<br>

You've been TOLD nigga, you've been fuckin OFFICIALLY been warned<br>

This is for your dome, straight up<br>

MAU MAU STYLE, BACK FROM THE FOREST KNAHMEAN?<br>

You've OFFICIALLY been told how it's gon' come down<br>

End of millineium sytle<br>

You've officially been told how it's gon' be, knahmean?<br>

Hard Black, Mau Mau<br>

Smooth Black, Mau Mau<br>

Big Black, Mau Mau<br>

1/16th Black, Mau Mau<br>

Jo Black, Mo Black, Double Black.<br>
