Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) - Another World
[Talib Kweli]
We fantastic, flippin on tracks like gymnastics Small brats get they ass kicked, me and Mos smash it Top gun like what comes after the, fist rockin' knife Check the keys that get played on the roads of life Yo the rhyme is so heavy like a load off my chest Drop em on these mc's, leave 'em broken like house pets Priceless like the streets I'm on, my word is bond You like Paula Abdul Scat Cat compared to Sarah Vaughn Singin, what did I do to be so black and blue Got mc's sayin damn I gotta go on after you Grab a microphone and do just what I have to do Aiyyo, I'd like to stop and chat but I'm just passing through You know I'd like to stop and chat but I'm just passing through
[Mos Def]
I'm on my way back to Louis Avenue Inside Brooklyn the b-boy capital, lot of cats travel to black and radical Say, my response is emphatically yes We emphatically fresh, you dramatically stressed These mc's proceed to seize the presidential palace And burn Babylon like a chalice Strive to maintain balance With the God given talent Articulate the article, eliminate the farcical Black Star Line shine remarkable, they style ain't even comparable These so-called criminals is fictional they make the party turn miserable We document the memorable Then break 'em up like syllables Stay down to earth like minerals Your style is foul like Dow Chemical We five-dimensional, audio, visual, physical, spiritual, lyrical Another world
Another world, y'all We transmit another world Another World, y'all We transmit another world Another World, y'all We transmit another world Black Star 'bout to shine from what
[Talib Kweli]
Yo Mos, ain't it a shame how these people treating life like a game Ain't gonna give you no fame by callin out your name Just explain how I do it and, lead by example Stay away from repetition don't wanna sound like no sample You can't handle this Messiah My shit is classical we get buck like Umfufu, "You treat me like animal!" Just 'cus you got money, don't mean you made it Just 'cus you make it don't give you the right to be on that fake shit Matter fact stay out my face I can't take it like them stupid big horse pills Your defense is nil, my chatter, shatter your forcefield Kweli and Mos Definition with more lines then a petition Yo my mission is to break shit in half, like intermission Then get missin' with Hi-Tek in the wind like that Costin' one million pounds 'cus it sound so fat Lay you flat like the carpet Take the tobacco out my spliff before you spark it The only tye I rock is chocolate Makin profits like Spacely Sprockets, you can't stop it The topic, we always gonna be black like markets From the underground, look around and tell me what you see Another picture painted perfectly by yours truly
Another world, y'all Say what, another world Another world, y'all Say what, another world
Travellin' through, time and space On the the Black Star galactica Yo, another world 'nother 'nother, 'nother, 'nother, 'nother world
[Mos Def]
Never never never soap opera Whether you, Indian, Dominican, Jamaican or Bolivian No matter what district, quarter, or part of town you livin' in I recommend you listenin' to these distinguished gentlemen Who take the proper measurement to represent The sorta home this cornerstone is built on (???) Way more than ??? Master mc carpentry Talib put, the Kweli in quality Put the groundation down properly You can't trespass the property Ain't takin' or breakin', robbery Got the whole owner blast-back policy Follow me, descendant of the grand master armoury Where cats rock the Wallabe and Kangols, mc's exchange flows The same goes on, they'll be here when we gone Hope they heart stay strong for The other world
The other world y'all Say what, another world Another, 'nother 'nother 'nother Say what, another world... 'nother 'nother 'nother.... wait's you, wait's you, wait's you... awakes you, awakes you... awake you, awake you...
Black Star - Another World
Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) - Another World
[Talib Kweli]
We fantastic, flippin on tracks like gymnastics
Small brats get they ass kicked, me and Mos smash it
Top gun like what comes after the, fist rockin' knife
Check the keys that get played on the roads of life
Yo the rhyme is so heavy like a load off my chest
Drop em on these mc's, leave 'em broken like house pets
Priceless like the streets I'm on, my word is bond
You like Paula Abdul Scat Cat compared to Sarah Vaughn
Singin, what did I do to be so black and blue
Got mc's sayin damn I gotta go on after you
Grab a microphone and do just what I have to do
Aiyyo, I'd like to stop and chat but I'm just passing through
You know I'd like to stop and chat but I'm just passing through
[Mos Def]
I'm on my way back to Louis Avenue
Inside Brooklyn the b-boy capital, lot of cats travel to black and radical
Say, my response is emphatically yes
We emphatically fresh, you dramatically stressed
These mc's proceed to seize the presidential palace
And burn Babylon like a chalice
Strive to maintain balance
With the God given talent
Articulate the article, eliminate the farcical
Black Star Line shine remarkable, they style ain't even comparable
These so-called criminals is fictional they make the party turn miserable
We document the memorable
Then break 'em up like syllables
Stay down to earth like minerals
Your style is foul like Dow Chemical
We five-dimensional, audio, visual, physical, spiritual, lyrical
Another world
Another world, y'all
We transmit another world
Another World, y'all
We transmit another world
Another World, y'all
We transmit another world
Black Star 'bout to shine from what
[Talib Kweli]
Yo Mos, ain't it a shame how these people treating life like a game
Ain't gonna give you no fame by callin out your name
Just explain how I do it and, lead by example
Stay away from repetition don't wanna sound like no sample
You can't handle this Messiah
My shit is classical we get buck like Umfufu, "You treat me like animal!"
Just 'cus you got money, don't mean you made it
Just 'cus you make it don't give you the right to be on that fake shit
Matter fact stay out my face
I can't take it like them stupid big horse pills
Your defense is nil, my chatter, shatter your forcefield
Kweli and Mos Definition with more lines then a petition
Yo my mission is to break shit in half, like intermission
Then get missin' with Hi-Tek in the wind like that
Costin' one million pounds 'cus it sound so fat
Lay you flat like the carpet
Take the tobacco out my spliff before you spark it
The only tye I rock is chocolate
Makin profits like Spacely Sprockets, you can't stop it
The topic, we always gonna be black like markets
From the underground, look around and tell me what you see
Another picture painted perfectly by yours truly
Another world, y'all
Say what, another world
Another world, y'all
Say what, another world
Travellin' through, time and space
On the the Black Star galactica
Yo, another world
'nother 'nother, 'nother, 'nother, 'nother world
[Mos Def]
Never never never soap opera
Whether you, Indian, Dominican, Jamaican or Bolivian
No matter what district, quarter, or part of town you livin' in
I recommend you listenin' to these distinguished gentlemen
Who take the proper measurement to represent
The sorta home this cornerstone is built on (???)
Way more than ???
Master mc carpentry
Talib put, the Kweli in quality
Put the groundation down properly
You can't trespass the property
Ain't takin' or breakin', robbery
Got the whole owner blast-back policy
Follow me, descendant of the grand master armoury
Where cats rock the Wallabe and Kangols, mc's exchange flows
The same goes on, they'll be here when we gone
Hope they heart stay strong for
The other world
The other world y'all
Say what, another world
Another, 'nother 'nother 'nother
Say what, another world...
'nother 'nother 'nother....
wait's you, wait's you, wait's you...
awakes you, awakes you...
awake you, awake you...
