Intro

[Sample: Cannonball Adderley, live on stage]

We feel that we have a responsibility to... shine the light... into the darkness You know, there's a lot of darkness out here

We watch it all the time

I'm busy, lookin' at the darkness, sayin'

"Damn, there's some darkness over there!"

Whatever – and we have a responsibility to focus on it

You know, ya'll be cool

We know that we know how to make some music

And that music ain't supposed to stand still...

[Talib Kweli]

It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli

(Black Star... to guide me... Black Star... Black Star)

It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli

(Black Star)

[Mos Def]

We- we- we know where the real life documentarians are

Who?

Of course the mighty Mos Def is a real life documentarian

Talib Kweli... real life documentarian

[Outro: Cannonball Adderley sample, continued]

Anyhow, the statements that they make

Will determine what everybody else plays very shortly

Ya dig?

And that's the way it goes

So here we go!
