[Femi Kuti speaking]

One thing I want to assure them,

If they think I'm gonna change or compromise

My attitude and my way of life or

In my expression or in my goal

What's politics

They are making me stronger

And I am much much stronger now..



[Mos Def]

Check a blank to the boogie

And up chuck a boogie

To the rhythym of the boogie to be [x2]

There it go like simple the plainness

The prominent bassness

Zulu arrangement rockin' amazement

Fly gold, radiating from heaven to pavement

If only years of placement with nothing to play with

Spent time hating but that ain't changing it

God give it to me no body ain't savin' it

Therefore, moving on the base in stammerment?

Standing in the twilight and watching them get it in

Walls, simmering, the air, simmering

She movin' like more than the airs is glistenin'

Woah now

Testin' your ate in the delirium

Sounding fate booming all over your eminence

Skin on skin again

Put it all, get it all,get in then

Ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses

.... or entrants and simil men

There it is, boogieman



Hah

Simmer down simmer down simmer down now

Simmer down now [x3]

Quiet dog, wild hog my god



And the rocket don't stop

Brooklyn and the kids heat up the stovetop

Banging the empire state and navigating the way

Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop

The cool dudes swagger little cherry be corny

The flow so steady unsteady is boring

These dudes ain't through with their yawning



Need to get off it

So wack wack is all you can call it

Therefore, movin on the deaf is sumblin

Regardless of ...what town your representin

A bullet in the audience settlement

Tower the tenement

I mold through for all of the element

Simmer down

I manage your mayhem

I'm bright as the AM

And you're rocking more like a station

I'm blessed with the fresh from day one

I got it from day done

We all going back to the same one

It's the cost of motivation I'll stay with

Remarkable flavors

That all is a market of greatness



Woah now

Is to get us to buck town

Your girl is in love now

You thought it so funny

Shorty is down, Shoo



[Sirens]

Simmer down simmer down simmer down now

Simmer down now [x3]

Quiet dog, wild hog let's rock



Hah

And we don't stop

See you rock to the rhythm we don't stop

So you maintain the rock and you don't stop

You keep up the rock and you don't stop

(The rock)

Maintain the rock and you don't stop

(The rock)

You keep up the rock and you don't stop

(The rock)

Maintain the rock and you don't stop

(The rock)
