[Verse 1]
[G][C]
[B]Yo,[G] we[C][F][B]
keep it type raw,
[G]and know exactly what we fight for
When the nightfall come,
we in the right war
Cats who spill blood for a cause,
not just because
Defy the authority and follow
god's law
Revolutionary entrepeneurs, who
make the fans
Clap [Em]they hands and [Am]stompin the floor
[C]not start the [G]applause
Thank you very [A]much,
without [G]further ad[Em]o
Let [G]me introduce the rest
of my crew, mos def!

Switched [Em]trains a writer [G]can't

Flashlights lookin for a

In new [G]york they say it's red [A]hot
Will the [Em]temperature [G]ease
[C]up? black I guess [B]not
It's [G]multi- lane traffic,
no sign for rest stops
No [Em]corner breaks,
[G]put on your gloves and just box
No dance school to teach
[A]you to wop and bus [Em]stop
Better [G]get up in the booth,
hop up and just [Em]rock
If you [G]think it's like that,
it's not so just stop
All [A]mankind [G]time runnin [A]down on one [Em]watch,
just [G]watch

[Verse 8]
Yo, mos def and talib [A]kweli bring
disaster to [Em]the industry
[G]We best- sellin authors writin
great chapter[Em]s in history
[G]These cats undercover like gay [A]rappers
dealin with mystery
My platinum grey [G]matter spray
[A]batter that's [E]specifically
De[B]signed to make rap[G]pers break faster
[A]than eggshells in the mornin
[G]Inhaled the divine in that's laid
dormant
Water from the well stay pourin
I answer back [A]when I hear fate [G]callin
Freedom fighter ready to attack at the
[A]crack of a new day [Em]dawnin
[G]Way more than necessary skills
for the application
[Em]My flow is great [Am]like the lakes and
[C]it rocks like [G]applachains
My facts more than make up for
[A]what you lack in ima[G]gination
You [Em]more confused than [G]ti ger woods
[A]when he made [G]up cabalaysian
I'm sayin!

[Verse 9]
Break bounds like [A]the jet con[E]corde
Win [B]awards before [G]I leave for
my world award [Em]tour
When they [G]scream encore,
that's [A]when they want more
Flow [G]steadily,
whether I'm [Am]on or off sh[Em]ore
High [G]potent, zone coastin, no [Em]jokin
