[together]

And everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing

Everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing, there she is



[Talib]

Fresher than Tony Rebel's vestibules at African street festivals

My incredible women is, plentiful

Over the years I met a few, none of them compare to you

Preparin you to make food bearable, somethin terrible, let's see:

you fruitful, beautiful, smart, lovable, huggable

Doable like art, suitable to be part

of my life, Coppertone, oh you copyright infringement

Pay you bidness ten cents, way back in the day

It's like I'm standin there you know appreciatin God's design

and then you showed up, it's like you read my mind

DAMN SHE'S FINE, I think I add the R-E, in front of that

and see if she D, to get, with a cat like me



[Talib] I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the

way you walk, yes, I live the way you move

[Mos] I like the way you walk, when you walk on by

I like the way you move, I like the WAY you move

[Talib] I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the

way you walk, please, won't you do that dance

[Mos] I like the way you walk, when you walk on by

I like the way you move, I like you baby



[together]

And everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing

Everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing, there she is



[Mos Def]

Ooooh! Daring me girl, look at you!

Comin on the block lookin fresh and brand new

Ooooh! Headwrap cover your hairdo

Pretty feet peekin through open-toed shoe

Ooooh! No limit to what I would do

Make love to you like long interview

Whooh! Is she for real, me like you

Good look champion, win the title

True, many man try invite you

Shot down lyric each time they cyph you

Jewel, what man you get all insides you

Feet they walk way and just that sheik posture

Ooooh! Can't be a next one like you

Famous like tapes made by DJ Clue

I tighten up my game as I approach you

Yo check her she the nectar the bee get close to



...



[Talib]

I don't get many compliments, but I am confident

Used to have a complex about, gettin too complex

You got me, willin to try, looked me in the eye

My head is still in the sky, since you walked on by

I'm feelin high, got my imagination flickerin like hot flames

it's how it seems, you make me wanna ride the Coltrane to A Love Supreme

My brown lady, creates environments, for

happy brown babies, I know it sounds crazy

but your skin's the inspiration for cocoa butter

You provoke a brother we should get to know one another

I discover when I bring you through my people say TRUE, all I can say

is all praise due I thank you God for a beauty like you



*Mos Def singing*

[Mos] Brown skin lady

[Talib] Yes

[Mos] Where you goin

[Talib] This goes to the brown skin ladies

[Mos] Brown skin lady

[Talib] On the planet Earth today, yes

[Mos] What you doin?

[Mos] Brown skin lady

[Mos] How do you feel?



[Talib] I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the

way you walk, yes, I live the way you move

[Mos] I like the way you walk, when you walk on by

I like the way you move, I like the WAY you move

[Talib] I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the

way you walk, yes, please do that dance

[Mos] I like the way you walk, when you walk on by

I like the way you move, I like you baby



[together]

And everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing

Everybody on the avenue, I know, when they see us sing, there she is



[Mos] There she is, she's a brown skinned lady

Such a brown skinned lady

She's a brown skinned lady

She's a brown skinned lady

She's a brown skinned lady

She's a brown skinned lady



[Talib]

You know what some people put themselves through

to look just like you?

Dark stocking, high heels, lipstick, alla that

You know what?

Without makeup you're beautiful

Whatcha you need to paint the next face for

We're not dealin with the European standard of beauty tonight

Turn off the TV and put the magazine away

In the mirror tell me what you see

See the evidence of divine presence

Women of the, Carribean, they got the, golden sun

I know women on the continent got it

Nigeria, and Ghana, you know they got it

Tanzania, Namibia and Mozambique

and Bothswana, to let it speak

about latinas, columbianas

...

Tallenas, of course the Brooklyn women walk that walk

And the Bronx women walk that walk

Honies from Queens walk that walk, NYC, ATL, LA

Cincinatti, the Bay Area...
