(feat. Dice Raw, Mos Def, Styles P) Hello hello hello hello... Hello hello hello hello... Hello hello hello hello... Hello hello hello hello... [Mos Def] Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys Entrances exits vestibules and alleys Winding roads that test the firm nerve Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve The engine oil purr, lights flash to a blur Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurrr Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds Blinding staring at lights 'til they cryin' Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass Ingredients influential on your ways and acts Zero tolerance to raise the tax It don't matter how your gates is latched You ain't safe from the danger jack Made it way before they made the map Or a GPS this is DEF leader [Dice Raw] I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello... you don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control Hello hello hello hello... Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello... Northside nigga Southside Hello hello hello hello... Shits poppin off Worldwide Hello hello hello hello... [Black Thought] Between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin off its axis Got mother nature doin back flips The natural disasters It's like 80 degrees in Alaska You in trouble if you not an Onasis It ain't hard to tell that the conditions is drastic Just turn on the telly check for the news flashin How you want it bagged, paper or plastic? Lost in translation or just lost in traffic? Yo I don't wanna floss I done lost my passion And I ant trying to climb, Yo I lost my traction They makin' me break, my contents under pressure Do not shake, I'm workin while the boss relaxin Here come Mr. tax man, he leavin a fraction, give me back some Matter fact next pay check it's like that son I'll fuck around and have to hurt a few men They probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend, Hello [Dice Raw] I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello... you don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control Hello hello hello hello... Everything's for sale even the souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello... Northside nigga Southside Hello hello hello hello... shits poppin off Worldwide Hello hello hello hello... [Styles P] Should I say hello or should I say that hell is low Am I nigga or a niggero? I'm an African American They sell drugs in the hood but the man, he move the medicine He'll prescribe you all-med for everything A little stuffy nose tell you get some Claritin You know I'm hip to it and its hard to claim the land When my great great great grands were shipped to it look at technology they call it downloading I call it downsizing somebody follow me Does a computer chip have an astrology And when it fuck up could it give you an apology (Could it?) Should it say hello or should it say goodbye Try to understand how smart and how hood am I It don't matter though Until we learn that the world don't turn right We all oughta the scatter though [Dice Raw] I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road Hello hello hello hello... you don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control Hello hello hello hello... Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone Hello hello hello hello... Northside nigga Southside Hello hello hello hello... shits poppin off Worldwide Hello hello hello hello...
