All Praise Due

[Intro: Mos Def talking]

A lot of people wonder...a lot of speculation goin' on about...who's in control. Who is God? Who's on top of this thing? Am I God? Is God in me? Well I got the answer. Let 'em know. 'Bout to give it to y'all. Let 'em know oh oh. It goes like this

[Hook]

God make the world get up and move

God make the world go round

God make the moon rise high

God make the sun, shin Allah, a ha ha

We are, we are, the grand groove, grand groove

God make the world get up and move

God Allah make world the get up and move

Allah make the world, God make the world

[Verse One]

Yo check

All praise due to the Merciful and Beneficent

Sovereign universal dominate black element

That's the space, ancient like Sanskrit

Even though man made transmit my transcripts

And they can't be tamped with

Allah protect this

I make jams for crime clans and working class fams

And all y'all mans who eat aci with chams

And heads in the flats who dispatch the dollar vans

Young kids in badlands with great escape plans

Who eat most of they meals outta boxes and cans

Casualties and cutbacks of social programs

Dedicated

To all those who rode slave ships

Who screamed and cried but survived the ride

I know that my life is better cause you weathered the tide

Harder work on this side making truth magnify

Devils can't stop me, but they damn sure try

Shine the light on the Earth that receive and radiate

Ain't no surface I've seen that's too dense to penetrate

There are plans by many hands to make us deviate

So I speak on plates so that all good life regenerate

Baby ain't no time to deliberate

He put the wonder in the world let's activate

Let's activate, let's activate, let's activate

Cause

[Hook]

[Verse Two]

You know I ain't gotta lie to you

God made the world get up and move

You know I ain't gotta lie to you

God Allah made the world get up it's true

You know I ain't gotta lie to you

God made the world get up and move

You know I ain't gotta lie to you

God Allah made the world get up it's true

Yes you know I ain't gotta lie to you

God Allah made the world, Allah made it all

Allah made the world, Allah made it all

Allah made the world, Allah makes it all

Allah made the world, Allah controls it all

Allah makes the world, Allah controls it all

Allah made the world, Allah controls it all
