I was taught when there's somethin' you can change around
Keep quiet, you got nothin' to complain about
You got work to do,
I don't know if that work for you
But thats how Mos work it through
And my work is personal,
I'm a workin person
I put in work, I work with purpose
I get it there, on the water, air, the surface
You feel the impact? Niggaz yeah it's workin
Listen God did not make me a fearful person
The only fear I have,
Is my failure to adhear his path
I would love it just to hear this back
On the ghetto streets where y'all at
On the ave's where the Jeep's go past
In the coupes where the seats go back
In the parties where it be so packed
And the atmosphere be so black
And them black things be so phat
If I could I would be so glad
But if not I won't be so mad
I'm still being a man, still feeding my fam'
And even if you don't see it my fam
I believe that I am,
truly gifted, truly blessed
I'm yours truly, Brooklyn's own, Mos Def
love that verse, especially love..
I would love it just to hear this back
On the ghetto streets where y'all at
On the ave's where the Jeep's go past
In the coupes where the seats go back
In the parties where it be so packed And the atmosphere be so black
And them black things be so phat
If I could I would be so glad
and that line just reminds me of house parties a way back in the day..
