Verse 3

'Cause it is deeper, sweeter, richer, crisper
Stronger reception and sharper picture
Revolve around God, and involve with niggas
These elements help evolve my scripture
And make Mos Def a classic modern figure
Brooklyn, it don't matter if ya holler or whisper
You comin' through clear, 'cause I'm right here wit'cha
Ain't gotta edit your slang, I got it, I get ya
Yo, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers
The lovers, the leavers, the doubters, believers
The stayers, the quitters, the bitches, the niggas
Rebel guerrillas to ghetto civilians
Y'all gon' feel it from the first to the millionth
It's extra, ordinary and plain
I walked a thousand paces of life ahead of the game
By the time that you get where I'm standin', I'll be gone
Y'all make moves, but y'all just move wrong

[Outro: Mos Def]
I move in, and y'all must move on, 'cause I'm molto strong
And I know what my feet move for
Make it go without a brand new car
I was fresh without a brand new song
Don't give a fuck about what brand you are
I'm concerned what type of man you are
What your principles and standards are
You understand me, y'all?
Be good to your family, y'all
No matter where your families are
'Cause everybody need family, y'all
Raise a hand if you understand me, y'all
Everybody need family, y'all
Be good to your families, dog
Understand, no matter where your families are
Everybody need family, dog
Raise your hand, you understand me, pah
That's what it is, that's my man
Family of my family Pencil Pete
My man too
All our loved ones behind the walls
All of those still in the struggle
Assata, Mumia
Sundiata
My man Jamil
Life is real
To all the real soldiers, black people
We family, y'all
Let it be bright
