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