<br />
*Trugoy:*<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)<br />
Yeah... Check the vibe y'all vibe y'all...<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)<br />
Dirty rotten tooth<br />
Select from the sound booth<br />
Collect grammer<br />
Like panhandlers<br />
On skid row<br />
My John Doe'll<br />
Build a vision where thought can go walking<br />
Without the Devil hawking<br />
Stakes Is High like weed smoke<br />
We need folk<br />
To shed the truth<br />
To the wide youth<br />
*Truth Enola:*<br />
Enola got soul<br />
To hell with role models, teachers and guardians<br />
With rock-hard erections, and seven incisions<br />
Raw intercourse with mother nature<br />
She likes to bang to the left<br />
Teach all women and children only the best<br />
Stakes is Higher than the highest mountain<br />
Mos Def<br />
*Mos Def:*<br />
This is the 21st century, poor shit ain't quaint<br />
The Zulu Apaches got battle cries and war paint<br />
I do with some care cause I is who they ain't<br />
That ain't strokin' my sack, it's just a black ink fat<br />
Boy, ain't no keeping me back. Yes, Mos Def is the handle<br />
Try to test and get supressed like a government scandle<br />
Exhibit is exquisit and a level degrees<br />
Flying high in the sky with the Supa Emcees<br />
*Posdnuos:*<br />
Yo! I write rhymes like I come from New York City<br />
Rollin' with commitees, making your whole life shitty<br />
Shutting down your rap group, and you best to believe<br />
Brothers become permanent niggas when they soul is a track<br />
And ain't no niggas like the one I know<br />
Cause what I know is them niggas gotta go<br />
Make me feel I need to by a fo-fo<br />
(Bloop Bloop) Sending them express to hell though<br />
*Mos Def:*<br />
Classic material like Run DMC. At least,<br />
four out of five, every Jeep owner agrees<br />
That it's them damn high Stakes<br />
that make you pump yo' brakes (vibes)<br />
pump yo' brakes (vibes)<br />
pump yo' brakes (vibes, vibes)<br />
Haha...<br />
(Vibrations...)<br />
Get with the viggy-vibe ya'll...<br />
*Posdnuos:*<br />
Stakes is High...<br />
You know them Stakes is High, when we dealing with the<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)<br />
Stakes is High...<br />
Man them Stakes is High...<br />
*Truth Enola:*<br />
Doctor, I'mma make those house calls and exercise those<br />
Some people getting burned, playing their toes close<br />
Fumble-eye sky tumble-ing down, stay humble-eye<br />
Sidle up and ride. Beware, who you idolize<br />
Religious hypocrits who give away elbow in the face<br />
I'm Enola, system solar, Plug One, solely mine<br />
*Posdnuos:*<br />
We went from picking noses to pockets, directly to jail<br />
Now we think we better ourselves trying to be calm<br />
When you're puffing that (hay!) in the middle of the barn<br />
Stopping thoughts, so you can stretch a mind into yarn<br />
Funeral lawns are drunk from kids pouring out liquor<br />
Respecting life, by met up with a little quicker<br />
And we let the body rock the party<br />
until the party rocks the body<br />
Cause a scuffle broke loose due to too much juice and gin<br />
run in the minds of opposing men<br />
*Trugoy:*<br />
Aiyo, my mens is going to have to learn when to say when<br />
and when to ask why, you accept the [?]<br />
cause you dwelling in a sty<br />
Can't face it man to man, son, I see it in your eye<br />
Conseal it, why try? Display it, when you relay it<br />
You're just a lie.<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)<br />
*Posdnuos:*<br />
There was a lovely lady who's intent I thought I had on Rosa Parks<br />
But her ex came to town and took back her heart<br />
And she left me standing silly in the dark with a mic<br />
Caught up in expressions<br />
and learning lessons of depression<br />
Sometimes it seems I can't connect with female beings<br />
To my little Aya-Mo when she having them dreams<br />
And her facial gleams are sweet, but soon to switch to bitter<br />
cause when she reaches sixteen she'll be considered a piece of meat<br />
Not a treat but a trick to sex in showers<br />
People kick last days, we in the last hours<br />
Minutes and seconds, I reckon it won't be long<br />
til recorded ways of striving will be dead and gone<br />
But this loss coming through despite who try to see me<br />
These brothers are too hard, sisters are too easy<br />
Sleazy...<br />
*Mos Def:*<br />
Trying to please me with that sex appeal<br />
When you're livin' in the ghetto man you got to deal<br />
Brothers scatter from the function when they spot the steel<br />
Weapons get concealed, when there's plots to kill<br />
The on all up in the party cause this rock is real<br />
Niggas ain't stoppin' to think so they ain't gon' stop the violence<br />
Music too loud to hear, so Doug E. Fresh say "Silence!"<br />
Through the projects, they terminate and expect violence<br />
I rather take it easy, keep it breezy like the Attic<br />
*Truth Enola:*<br />
Revi-revolutionize<br />
We keep it complex, so don't offend<br />
Nine times out of ten, men and women pretend<br />
And mobilize devil eyes<br />
Fight beside [?], you are the type<br />
For everything in life has a price<br />
Love black berry molasses<br />
So smart you're stupid<br />
Hard heads create soft asses<br />
*Trugoy:*<br />
So like molasses...<br />
That's how you move, and how we prove with that<br />
Come with the full-pack, to keep it native<br />
like tongues, we brung the lickin' for all your earth spittins<br />
Can't write without that excite<br />
But when you come down, you're shit is dumbfound<br />
Sounded weak like mundane, someday<br />
You figure one day, you'll play the roles of masterpiece<br />
Until then cease<br />
And I'm out like reece<br />
(Vibes...)<br />
To get some Reese's Pieces<br />
Peace<br />
(Vibrations...)<br />
Check the...<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)<br />
(Vibes... Vibrations...)
