    [Mos Def]
    What, 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 claiming they hard be mad f--s
    So I run through 'em like flood water through sandbags
    Competition is mad, what I got, they can't have
    Sinking they ship, like Moby d-ck to Ahab
    Son I'm way past the minimum, entering millennium
    My raps will hold a gat to your back 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 mentioned in
    The synonym for feminine
    Sweeter than some cinnamon
    The Danish rings by Entenmann's
    Rush up on adrenaline, they get they a----s sent to them
    (Gentlemen) you got a tenement, well then assemble it!
    Leave your unit trembling like herds of moving elephant
    Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element
    From Flatbush settlement, skin possesses melanin
    Hotter than tales of crack peddling, making em WOOP
    Like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington
    Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me
    The hot Apache red who burn down your chief teepee
    You see me?
