Excellence

[Intro: Mos Def]

Yes sir, yes sir

You know the runnings

Excellence always

Brooklyn embassy, haha

Black Star shining

You are now rocking with the best

Brooklyn's own, Brooklyn's only

M-O-S definite

Big shout out to Cash Money, Shy and Medina Green

Listen...

[Verse: Mos Def]

Three words for the con, no you aren't

Smoke smoke but you're no cigar-a

Soon as Mos hit the open market

The ghetto know to cop it

Get on my back like a open warrant

Brook-lyn sick so retarded

Hop on your phone and told your partna

Hop offa him, and told your mama

Got no type of focus problems

Y'all better focus harder

Get out your rhyme book and smoke some scama

Ever far you go, I'm going harder

Understand I, rock today like it's no tomorrow

Last year, my catalog was so impressive

That this year my rookie card's a great investment

Am I hot? Nigga change the question

Are you hotter than me?

Shit we can take out the product and see

Y'all don't want no drama with me

Without a part in a film

A director and a call from the guild

Y'all don't want no problems for real

So why you speaking of beef?

Y'all youngins don't y'all need to be sleep?

Cause secretly I'm the nigga that you dreaming to be

It ain't as easy as that

It's only one Mos, leave it at that

Whatever shine you had I'm leaving with that

I give a fat baby's ass where your peoples is at

And where your heaters is at

You fuck around and catch a leak in your back

Get a hug dogg you need to relax

Don't get beaten up cause of rap

And don't get mad at me cause you're whack

Shit genetics is the reason for that

You ain't seeing me I'm seeing to that

I'm from the brightest hardest star to ever be on the map

And that's the B-R-O-double y'all don't want no trouble rest

Mighty motherfuckin Mos Def... like that
