Day after December 10 These simpletons — they mentionin’ the synonym for feminine Sweeter than some cinnamon, the Danish rings by Entenmann’s Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them (Gentlemen!) You got a tenement? Well, then assemble it! Leave your unit tremblin’ like herds of movin’ elephant Intelligent embellishment, follow for your element From Flatbush settlement, skin possesses melanin Hotter than tales of crack peddlin’ Makin’ ’em WOOP like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me The hot Apache red who burned down your chief teepee You see me? , [Chorus: Mos Def] One, two, three, Mos Def and Talib Kweli We came to rock it on to the tip-top Best alliance in hip-hop, Y-O-yo!
