I was born in the decade of decadence when they worshipped what they have,
Ford was president do the math,
The war was ending when the north vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon,
and we was like like be, we was gone let bygones be bygones,
Im gone spread love its the Brooklyn way, where they hug you with the fire arm, side arm,
like new school close, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, its facts no mystery, Im down with the crew like mussolini in Italy,
I rock with the Roots like the giving tree Powerful, Bigotry i work, me and my people got history,
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We Get it poppin like a hit chorus
the flow is historic, they can't get rid of us
You pick with us, and we lay the law lick Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history so they missing us
And don't call it a come back in particular
We've been effort blending to affirmer or
Fade into peripheral, of the ministers original
were broadcast clear without diminishing
Clack star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers
Alkalines, aminos, minerals essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle, material, remember its's right now foreverness
-Mos Def/ Talib Kweli History
