Yeah ha ha ha 
A be	 boys rock the world 
CD's and tapes help generate papes 
E F is the important Def 
G good H is what style be 
When I grab the microphone and MC 
Roll off the tongue like L M N O P 
And when I am done you will agree 
Mos Def represent most definitely 
Jesus what I used to rock it in '83 
Drank up all the cool Aid at the block party 
Used to wish I could break the Rock Steady 
Wash this be the brown shoe on TV 
But now it's not dis and it's on like THIS 
My name is Mos Def, this is good as it gets 
Baby I make you rub your lips like sardines and grits 
My what still hits even when the record skip 
Even when the record skip 
Even when the record skip 
I don't quit, I don't quit 
We 'bout to make this one a sure hit 
Sean J. make the party people feel it 

(Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to introduce a very 
Interesting young man that has traveled from very far 
Away to be with us tonight) 

Ha ha ha, what uh-huh 
There is such a place, that creates such a melody Brooklyn
No ladies it's a living G, it's a living G, it's a living G 
Love like this 
Recognize all area crew, whether you speak Japanese or Goony Goo Goo 
Son when I come through, other rappers boo-hoo 
'Cause they know they style's soft like baby doo-doo 
I will continue, to hit like a fifth of stolen Naya 
Puttin' jokers on ice to get the cream like Breyer 
No secret, Mos Def is the one that hunts a Mya 
I get in my stance and set the dance on fire 
Spread out my wings and I take the world higher 
Peace to the fam magnetic in the Chi 
Job-on, top Sean and my man Ahtu 
And all my other clan who reside in the Zoo 
Got a celebrated oatmeal broadcast crew 
Mos Def gon keep it naked like Um Fu-Fu (Andy!!) 
Put it here to the tape like crazy glue 
So when they bounce out of speakers they stick to you 
The way that I communicate is non-typical 
But high level like a 3-D visual 
I hold the mic extensive, exhibit level and dimension 
I radiate the space like a up-right bass 
Son I leave crews laced and escape wit no trace 
Sound official like the finish time at a horse race 
Here to put it in place, for the nine-uno-seis 
Mos Def set the pace, make your fam give chase 

Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it 
Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific 
It's like that and you don't stop 
It goes onto the rhythm you don't stop 
Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it 
The Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific y'all 
You don't stop, it goes onto the rhythm bust it 

Baby it's in my chromosomes to rock 
Microphones sets who want to test the M-O 
Best to leave that nigga alone 
I make no bones or poems about droppin' bars 
I make the world full swing under the Mos Def yes 
I ring the alarm like tennis sore 
My style hella-raw, I keep it raw bone like Skeletor 
And you should go and tell your clientele 
That they need to get The Message like Melle Mel 
I got the locked like a Death Row show 
And if I ain't a b-boy, Premier never used a bell (ding ding) 
So tell your boy, (what) crew to retire 
Before I make they ass catch fire like Richard Pryor 
Nondescriptive fiendin' for riches, callin' earth's bitches 
But most of y'all brothers is livin' wit your mothers 
Your Boogie Man yankin' up your covers 
Sharper than some new box cutters, on Parkay's and butters 
And Stevie Wonder's, to make you run and tell the others 
The beat lovers, and play my jam like the numbers 
Son I rock the globe like I rocked your boat 
I'm 'bout to tap it on your shoulder 'cause you got to know 

Now raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it 
The Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific 
Like that, and you don't stop 
It goes onto the rhythm you don't stop 
And raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it 
Universal Magnetic b-boy, (hooo!!) scientific 
You don't stop, it goes onto the rhythm you don't stop 
Raise your hands in the air, everybody get wit it 
Universal Magnetic b-boy, scientific 
Like that, and you don't stop 
It go onto the rhythm you don't stop 
Now raise your hands in the air everybody get wit it 
The Universal Magnetic in a b-boy stance
