Just begun like Jimmy Castor I'm bad luck just like walkin' under ladders Mad rappers, book of life, last chapter Me and my squad build just like contractors I break shit, you only give hairline fractures Women flash us, don't know ya better ask us A bastard, wit' more contacts than Lens Crafters Tear down the rafters, venereals couldn't clap us You need practice, hit chicks then I'm Casper [Verse 2: Jane Doe] The Church of Scientology, feminine biology Manic depressive psychologically, A.D.D. alive and we Polluted by technology, the fumes in this ecology While your thought you was out of copy, I get nastier than sodomy Probably the odyssey he started back on robbery Was the degree of the economy that do the sovereignty Regarded as a prodigy, leery in sociology Let the wallabies always conceal my gynecology Rhymin' pathologically, that's how it gotta be! Never makin' no apology, worshippin' my anthropology Fuck the modesty, studyin' microbiology Causin' verbal lobotomy is in my genealogy Six months of sobriety, movin' very methodically Like a unicorn, more ways than oceanography Guards acknowledge me, rip shows antibiotically True thugs bionically give birth to criminology [Verse 3: Wordsworth] (Uh, yo, check it, yo, uh-huh, yo) Now as a youngin', I swear to God y'all couldn't tell me nothin' I swore I was gettin' somethin', clothes-on humpin' For girls with the church, slacks with some shirts tucked in I set it up for money, my mom worked when I was cuttin' Unsigned strugglin', for the heat I lit the oven One would buy the CD, the other would do the dubbin' Before I met Tribe, I was in the clubs frontin' Oh yeah I know Tip, when I see him I be duckin' But now when I'm clubbin', those that used to dis me buggin' Overweight chicks, spandex, they stomachs sucked in Stay interruptin', dance, and try to cut in Told people you got in free when you really snuck in [Verse 4: Q-Tip] We never get concerned about who's in the lead We just stay workin' so no one will need An unconcerned outsider givin' niggas feed My niggas puff weed but negotiate the seed The family is granite and you can't intercede I try to switch lanes at this operatin' speed Cats in the game be gamblin' with greed We the house, you the player and we gonna catch these Who's the Sam Sneed makin' microphones bleed Poker face creed while my mind just read Shorty got rhythm but her freak got freed (That's) insignificant but (this) take heed [Verse 5: Mos Def] They say I'm pretty like Clay is, bright like the day is Beats from my fleet be sweet like Sugar Ray is I'm swingin' this from Bay Ridge to where the Oakland Bay is My game is tough to play, I'm tough to weigh like your safe is The aim is, to make you recognize what the name is Mos Def gon' set it straight from where the 718 is The place with the greats who originate the flavors A all-star block with some all-star neighbors (Turn the music down!) This is probably some haters Achin' cuz they hear us rotatin' on the playlist From B-boy laces to Detroit gators Yo Tip I got to bail, where the scale? Help me weigh this... [Outro: Q-Tip] Yo!
