(Talib Kwali): Yo, I was to a sick European by a rich African Battle-man, passages, I can't go back again. Battlin' years who history's lies, while mystery's wive's, watching with misty watching niggas be beaten visciously Battling world is North America, ran by the river, only to pray. Change My Terrorists with ediquiette, who vote and kill president, capacity for evil so evident, and prevalent. Ain't no hesitation involved, a dissolved, while we sit back to evolve. Those who'd trade they freedom for protection neither. a name, fuck tradition, religion, you learn Jesus. Turn the other cheek, the earth, just stay meek. Fuck the way you speak, you try to walk, they off your feet. Fast forward to 2003; beef. The of choosin the slaves run deep.
Hell Yeah, yeah, What's Yeah, yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah That's Hell Yeah, yeah Its always your own people, sometimes it's your own X2
(Mos Def): Yo, Beef is not Jay said to Nas, Beef is when working can't find jobs. So they try to niggas to rob, Try to bigger guns so they can finish the job. Beef is when a crack-kid find moms, cause they in a box, or locked behind bars. ain't the summer Jam on Hot Ninety-Seven. Beef is the Cocaine and epidemics. Beef don't come a radio edit. is when the judge's callin you defendant. Beef, it come a long jail sentence, Handed to you in a few short minutes. Beef is your girl come through for a visit, talkin bout her pregnant, by some nigga. Beef is high pressure, and bad credit; Need a loan for home and you're too broke to get it. And all your little is doin' is gettin bigger, You try to not raise them the wild niggas. Beef is when a got your seed in her, A manicured out, like, "Pay me nigga, Or I'm your wife, And startin up some foul rumors that'll ruin life." Beef is when a gangster ain't it right, And other gangsters then decide to do his life. Beef is not what famous niggas would do in the mic, Beef is what Bush would do in a fight. (that's right) Beef is not what Ja to Fifty. Beef is world and earth(?) not here with me. When a soldier ends his life his own gun, Beef is trying to figure out to tell his son. Beef is oil and Geopolitics; Beef is Iraq, the Bank, and Gaza Strip. Some beef is big, and some is small, But what call beef is no beef at all. is real life, happenin every day, And its real-er than the songs that you to K-Slay. This has been a Black P.S.A. From Mos Def, Pretty(?) Placo, Dante, From the Black Embassy B to the K!
