Yonders

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

Shots fired

You say your block is like The Wire, I am not inspired

Real Gs try to stop the violence

They're not aspiring to live in food deserts, lacking proper diets

I start a riot every time I voice the unheard

Rhyming in the rough 'til the diamond got unearthed

Old Earth, like the boy got some nerve

White liberals feigning concern

We born in killer hospitals with doctors who would abuse us

Carry boxcutters, there was other popular usеs

At the hardware store, a buck fifty wеnt a long way

Fat cash for the Krylon paint

Wait, you're feeling froggy then leap like amphibians

Evolutionary, this apeshit you see me in

Revolutionary and flier than cloud city and

Superman the man wearing capes like Calrissian

Toxic, see how they marketing carcinogens

Got them African dancing like Aunt Vivian

Jamaicans to the Haitians to Puerto Ricans, Dominicans

Trini's and the Bajans 'cause Brooklyn like the Caribbean

The birds chirp, I get it straight from the source now

Gentrification, the neighbors is getting tossed out

My crew is all city, your name just got crossed out

[Verse 2: Yasiin Bey]

Uh, Mumia, Ali, savant style

January 32nd, Lee Hooker style

Reservoir god, happy birthday, now calm down

Snot bubble trouble, gun bullets get womp-womped out

Brush your teeth, study your art, bait and master more

Put 'em on their ass like they got a dry pamper on

Tell Satan he's a liar and a dummy

I would do it but he run every time he smell me comin'

Mad 'cause God and beautiful babies love me

I make his favorite suit look bummy, black and comely

Yummy, wipe the jelly all across the tan tummy

They feel it even when they can't touch me, stunning

They say he nutty, buddy, they can't tell me nothing-othing

It's a heartrending work of staggering fun crushing

Scarface chainsaw, Miami got drapes drawn

Halloween, egg yolk, mustard gassing their face off

Frankenstein at town square, the lady caught a seizure

He had the nerve to perm the whore they said made his weave from

Yuck, you suck, I don't

They know boogeyman, weathercam, sucker juice, stay home

Icy roads, school closed

Way out way raw, way warm, way cold

Yonders, yonders
