So what you doing

I'm feeling very well

Rocking this from Brooklyn, this is my vibration

Make you have sensation, when you hear the jam

All you want to say is happiness yo



Sometimes I get a feeling inside it's like (what)

It's something type of hard to explain it's like (what)

I got a good vocab and such but Ock

Somethings still remain out of touch- it's like

Your very first kiss or- it's like

Like a new pair of kicks or

You know what I'm saying Ock

It's just the vide

I can't articulate it

It's better demonstrated

And when it's integrated

Then things get rennovated

It's deeply contemplated

Before I operated

My steady advance will keep the jams populated



Okay okay I'm ready, (alright) I'm feeling good

Beats by 88 Key, Mos Def the emcee

The HOTtest entry, inside your benzy

Yo they got digitals now, true

That's old school

Don't run no new game, I like the old rules- like

Early to sleep and early to wake

You keep your long on money and short on mistakes

I speak on beat breaks, my jams is keep sakes

So recite that (cite that)

I said recite that (CITE that)

Cause when I'm laying down here baby it's tight phat

When I react that ain't no army that can strike back

And if they do they catching more than the eye jab (poof)

A lot of cats like to bite, I copyright that

So when you hear it on your box you say "I like that"

Send salaams to Abstract, is this the right track?

We staying, underground like the NTA

Be controller of the rock like the NBA

I remember days when supper was the empty tray

But I still held it down for mines an-y-way

See I still held it down for mines an-y-way

See I still held it down for mines an-y-way



It's how we do say,

Hey man what you doing

Feeling very well

Rocking this from Brooklyn

This is my vibration

To make you have sensation

Family situation

When you hear the jam

All you want to say, is Happiness- yo



The era we entering is mad exciting

Sometimes I got more rhymes than I remember writing

I stand like a titan above the mental midget

My safe originate from seven-eighteen digits

Thats BROOKLYN- for area code impaired

Medina of the planet for cats from out there

Mos Def official native of the Bed-Stuy section

I'm standing 5'10" with the chocolate complextion

I keep the function moving in the right direction

I'm coming with the new to keep the next crew guessing

Who you stressing!  Pump your brakes and slow down

I hold court, you get cut short like pronoun

I throw down just like Ali in Zyaire

I'm fresh from my feet to the roots in my hair

Kangol and Wallabees is some gear that I wear

Skid out to Chamber Street and I copped the fly pair

And I DARE- anyone of these new chaps

To step in the arena without they crew's back

Approahing the recital with titles you lose that

Send home a telegram to relay the news that the

M- for magnificant

O- praise omnipotent

S- for significant

D- for type different

E- for effic-ient

F- the fly fisherman

Netting everything from here to Lake Michigan

So all my people if you're out there listening

Give me a shout and let me know what you getting in

Some emcees ain't even worth mentioning

Let's congregate and compilate these Benjamins

We take the crown and break them down like divis-ion

To realize what my eyes is envisioning

Dollars correct and I'm the man on deck

But otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect

Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect

Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect

Otherwise I gotta jet, it's no disrespect



Hey man what you doing

Feeling very well

Rocking this from Brooklyn

This is my vibration

To make you have sensation

Family situation

When you hear the jam

All you want to say, is Happiness
