you'll smash your whole shit up
lights be changing fast on these streets money
sleeping on the wrong cats
pretty nigga heart skipped the metronome
rocked the trump tower to the terrordome
poor house to pleasure domes
mos def one of the illest that you ever known
smash your foundation into pebbles
my words leave your nerves unsettled
you take it to the next level down
looking like a circus clown
cats like you can't even get a pound
worldwide from the river to lakeside
make the sound man stage dive
i cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball lines
i'm home 'fore i'm done with all nine
got you shook like a fault line
come all shine and get tarnished
brooklyn got your pay roll garnished
whisper like they want trouble
i melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles
make the proud-hearted leave on the humble
assemble my skill form my power
my poems crush bones into powder
your masks and capes snatched
brooklyn take what you can't take back
i know a lot of cats hate that
there's a city full of walls you can post complaints at
all the doubters and believers adjust your receivers
