blackstar – redefiniton lyrics

[intro – mos def]
wha-wha-wha, wha-wha, wha-wha, wha-wha/
wo-aaaahhhhhhh!/
one, two, three/
mos def and talib kweli/
we came to rock it on to the tip-top/
best alliance in hip-hop, wo-ahh/
i said, one, two, tree, blackstar shine eternally/
we came to rock it on to the tip-top/
and hi-tek make the beats drop, wo-ahh/

[verse 1 – talib kweli]
re:definition, turning your play into a tragedy/
exhibit level degree on the mic, p-ssionately/
n-gg-z is sweet, so i bet if i bit i’d get a cavity/
livin’ to get high, you ain’t flyer than gravity/
we die hard like the battery/
done in the back of me by the mad mc/
who think imitation is the highest form of flattery/
actually, don’t be mad at me/
i had to be the one to break it to you/
you get kicked into obscurity like judo, no menudo/
’cause you pseudo, tryin’ to compete with reality like xerox/
towards destruction you spiraling like hairlocks/
wipe them teardrops/
chasing stars in your eyes/
playing games with your lives/
now the wives is widows soakin’ up pillows/
weepin like willows/
still mo’ blacks is dyin’/
kids ain’t livin they tryin’/
“how to make a slave” by willie lynch is still applyin/
regardless, the mos is one of my closest partners/
rockin ever since before prince was called the artist/
rocker before funkmaster flex was rockin starter/
when ‘pac and biggie was still cool before they was martyrs/
life or death, if i’m choosin with every breath i’m enhancin’/
stop, there comes a time when you can’t run/

[verse 2 – mos def]
lyrically handsome/
call collect, a king’s ransom/
jams i write soon become the ghetto anthem/
way out like bruce wayne’s mansion/
move like a phantom/
you’ll talk about me to your grandsons/
cats who claimin they hard be mad f-g/
so i run through ’em like flood water through sandbags/
compet-tion is mad, what i got, they can’t have/
sinkin’ they ship, like moby d-ck, did ahab/
son i’m way past the minimum/
it’s a verb millenium/
my rap’s the holy gas in your bag, like palestinians/
ancient abyssinia, sure to hold the gideon/
official b-boy gentlemen/
long term, never the interim/
born inside the winter wind, day after december 10/
these simpletons, they mentionin the synonym for feminine/
sweeter than some cinnamon from danish rings by entenmann’s/
rush up on adrenaline/
they get they -sses sent to them/
(gentlemen) you got a tenement/
well then -ssemble it!/
leave your unit tremblin like herds of movin elephant/
intelligent embellishment/
follow for your element from flatbush settlement/
did posseses melanin/
hotter than tales of crack peddlin/
makin em “woop” like blue gelatin/
swing like duke ellington/
broader than barrington levy/
believe me/
the hot oppresion rent who burn down your chief teepee/
you see me?/

[outro – mos def]
one, two, three/
mos def and talib kweli/
we came to rock it on to the tip-top/
best alliance in hip-hop, wo-ahh/
i said, one, two, three/
black star shine eternally/
we came to rock it on to the tip-top/
because we rulin hip-hop/
yes we is rulin hip-hop/
talib kweli is rulin hip-hop/
say we black star/
we rulin hip-ho-ah-ahh-ah-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh/
woahhhh!/
