[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-skat-kat compared to Sarah Vaughan Sayin, 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 cat chat be too 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, their 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 Straight 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 missing with Hi-Tech 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 To top it, 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 listen in to these distinguished gentlemen Who take the proper measurement to represent The sort of home whose cornerstone is built on Way more than Benjamin Master MC carpentry Talib puts 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 armory Where cats rock the Wallabe and Kangol, MCs 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....
