Mos Def - Know That (feat. Talib Kweli) Lyrics
[Mos Def]Hey, hey, heyyy manI Strike the Empire Back..I Strike the Empire Back..***** the Empire!!High flyin like the Millenium Falcon, piloted by Han SoloI never roll for dolo, frontin on me's a no-noUnderstand? Doin this for my familyHa ha, check it out y'allYo I'm tryin to make a dollar out of what makes senseAdd it up, told my daddy I'd be a rich manYou never know when your fate gon' switch handGet today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksandI was a young boy -- who dreamt about being a big manon small looseleaf sheets I sketched a big planGotta handle business properly, boost up my economyStore it up and get my mom some waterfront propertyYesterday was not for me but nowaday it's time for meThe streets is watchin me, I watch back, that's the policyMovin along my oddesey like blood through the arteryNavigate the treacherous and make it seem effortlessLet those who make the exodus seekin the North beaconfrom beatin and hog-eatin, from punishment all seasonfrom hands cracked and bleedin -- cotton thorns in your palmsIt's for y'all that I sketch these songs, and it goes..Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadowI fear no man, because faith is the aarowMy vocal chord travel worldwide to block narrowWe can blow with the ammo or go mano-a-manoKweli is you wit me? (Whattup whattup?) Let's make it happenI *BURN* through your argument with actionMy eyes stay fastened to tomorrow lookin for a brighter dayWhen y'all wanna leave y'all? Right awayShout it out from East-West (from South to Northern)From Cakalak' (to California)From the coldest (to the warmest)To the borders ('cross the waters) understand..-ac
