Mos Def, "Hip-Hop"
|
Posted By: Doran Gresham Ed.D. on December 13, 2007 We have to figure out what we want this thing to look like. We have to control more parts of the machine and take better care of the product. Here are some words from the high and mighty Mos Def. "Hip Hop is prosecution evidence The out of court settlement Ad space for liquor Sick without benefits Luxury tenements choking the skyline It's low life getting tree-top high Here there's a back water remedy Bitter intent to memory A class E felony Facing the death penalty Stimulant and sedative, original repetitive Violently competitive, a school unaccredited The break beats you get broken with on time and inappropriate Hip Hop went from selling crack to smoking it Medicine for loneliness Remind me of Thelonius and Dizzy Propers to B-Boys getting busy The war-time snap shot The working man's jack-pot A two dollar snack box Sold beneath the crack spot Olympic sponsor of the black glock Gold medalist in the back shot From the sovereign state of the have-nots Where farmers have trouble with cash crops It's all city like phase two Hip Hop will simply amaze you Craze you, pay you Do whatever you say do But black, it can't save you."
