  • [child #1] ...and then jackie chan just started kickin em
  • Like pow! pow! pow!
  • [child #2] whaaaaa? ? !
  • [mos def] alright yall, alright yall enough of that
  • Its time to go to bed yall
  • Time to go to bed -- I dont wanna hear that
  • You know what time it is, you know what time it is
  • [children] uncle mos?
  • [mos def] yeeesss?
  • [children] would you read us a bedtime story please?
  • [mos def] okay, okay. yall tucked in?
  • [children] yeessss...
  • [mos def] heeeere we go...
  • Once upon a time not long ago
  • When people wore adidas and lived life slow
  • When laws were stern and justice stood
  • And people was behavin like hip-hop was good
  • There lived a little boy who was misled
  • By a little sha-tan and this is what he said
  • Me and you kid we gonna make some cash,
  • Jackin old beats and makin the dash...
  • They jacked the beats, money came wit ease
  • But son, he couldnt stop, its like he had a disease
  • He jacked another and another, michael jackson, stevie wonder
  • Set some r & b over the track for deep cover (187!)
  • The kid got wild startin actin erratic
  • He said yo, that presidential I got ta have it...
  • With liquor in his belly son, he made up the track
  • But little did he know that his joints was wack
  • The shiny a & r said great new hit g!
  • Whenever you need a loop, yo come get me...
  • The kid got amped and he starts to figure
  • Im-a get dough like all-a these otha niggaz!
  • So, hes in the studio workin round the clock
  • For pop radio, jacked the beat to planet rock
  • Was out in the street when he met this sister
  • Who couldnt sing for shhhh but the mix wit her sister
  • Hooked up the track and in excitation
  • He decided hed head for the radio station
  • But (but!) he was runnin and he made a left
  • Was skeezin at top speed and ran into mos def
  • I slowed the young man down and I started: yo money,
  • Yo, why you sellin lies to our wives and children?
  • He ran upstairs up to the top floor
  • Opened up the door then guess what he saw? (who? )
  • Jane the chickenhead radio host
  • Who be yappin bout beef between east and west coast
  • He said this ones a bullet, you got ta give it run!
  • The chicken said thanks. and spanked it #1
  • He went outside, was gettin props all over
  • Then he dipped into his ride, the 4-point rover
  • Raced up the block doin 83
  • Some cats with hennessey saw him at a r-e-d
  • He winked his eye like his star status mattered
  • They rat-a-tat-tatted to make his blood splatter
  • You rockin crazy ice and all you do is cling static
  • And rollin down to brooklyn late night is problematic...
  • His eyes was bloody red, he hung on every word they said
  • They told the kid back down, that playa shit is dead.
  • Deep in his heart, he knew he was gone
  • But he grabbed his 45 and decide to blaze on
  • Wit shades on founded had him astounded an
  • Before long, the young man got surrounded
  • Those grabbed the guns, so goes the glory
  • And that is the way I got ta end this story
  • He was out chasin cream and the american dream
  • Tryin to pretend the ends justify the means
  • This aint funny so dont you dare laugh
  • Its just what comes to pass when you sell your ass
  • Life is more than what your hands can grasp
  • Good night!
  • (kids talking)
  • Knock em out the box mos, knock em out mos
  • Knock em out the box mos, knock em out mos (3x)
  • Knock em out...
  • A-nother...mos def...black star movement...
  • Presentation... cruuumbs!
