rate me(feat. Dice Raw, Mos Def, Styles P)<br />
<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
<br />
[Mos Def]<br />
Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys<br />
Entrances exits vestibules and alleys<br />
Winding roads that test the firm nerve<br />
Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve<br />
The engine oil purr, lights flash to a blur<br />
Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurrr<br />
Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising<br />
Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds<br />
Blinding staring at lights 'til they cryin'<br />
Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin<br />
Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass<br />
Ingredients influential on your ways and acts<br />
Zero tolerance to raise the tax<br />
It don't matter how your gates is latched<br />
You ain't safe from the danger jack<br />
Made it way before they made the map<br />
Or a GPS this is DEF leader<br />
<br />
[Dice Raw]<br />
I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Northside nigga Southside<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Shits poppin off Worldwide<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin off it's axis<br />
Got mother nature doin back flips<br />
The natural disasters<br />
It's like 80 degrees in Alaska<br />
You in trouble if you not an Onasis<br />
It ain't hard to tell that the conditions is drastic<br />
Just turn on the telly check for the news flashin<br />
How you want it bagged, paper or plastic? <br />
Lost in translation or just lost in traffic? <br />
Yo I don't wanna floss I done lost my passion<br />
And I ant trying to climb, Yo I lost my traction<br />
They makin' me break, my contents under pressure<br />
Do not shake, I'm workin while the boss relaxin<br />
Here come Mr. tax man, he leavin a fraction, give me back some<br />
Matter fact next pay check it's like that son<br />
I'll fuck around and have to hurt a few men<br />
They probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend, Hello<br />
<br />
[Dice Raw]<br />
I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Everything's for sale even the souls someone get God on the phone<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Northside nigga Southside<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Shits poppin off Worldwide<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
<br />
[Styles P]<br />
Should I say hello or should I say that hell is low<br />
Am I nigga or a niggero? I'm an African American<br />
They sell drugs in the hood but the man, he move the medicine<br />
He'll prescribe you all-med for everything<br />
A little stuffy nose tell you get some Claritin<br />
You know I'm hip to it and it's hard to claim the land<br />
When my great great great grands were shipped to it<br />
Look at technology they call it downloading<br />
I call it downsizing somebody follow me<br />
Does a computer chip have an astrology<br />
And when it fuck up could it give you an apology (Could it? )<br />
Should it say hello or should it say goodbye<br />
Try to understand how smart and how hood am I<br />
It don't matter though<br />
Until we learn that the world don't turn right<br />
We all oughta the scatter though<br />
<br />
[Dice Raw]<br />
I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Northside nigga Southside<br />
Hello hello hello hello... <br />
Shits poppin off Worldwide<br />
Hello hello hello hello...
