  • mos def - champion requiem

    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

    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..
