[Femi Kuti]
One thing I want to assure them,
If they think I'm going to change or compromise
My attitude and my way of life or
In my expression or in my goal
What's politics
They are making me stronger
And I am much much stronger now
[Mos Def]
Check a blank to the boogie
And up chuck a boogie
To the rhythym of the boogity beat
There it go like simple the plainess
The prominent bassness
Zulu arrangement rocking amazement
Fly gold, radiating from heaven to pavement
If only years of placement with nothing to play with
Spent time hating but that ain't changing it
God give it to me no body ain't saving it
Therefore, moving on the base in stammerment?
Standing in the twilight and watching them get it in
Walls, simmering, the air, simmering
She movin' like more than the airs is glistening
Woah now
Testing your ate in the delirium
Sounding fate booming all over your eminence
Skin on skin again
Put it all, get it all, get in then
Ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses
Or entrants and simil men
There it is, boogieman
Hah
Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Quiet dog, wild hog, my god
And the rocket don't stop
Brooklyn and the kids heat up the stovetop
Banging the empire state and navigating the way
Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop
The cool dudes swagger little cherry be corny
The flow so steady unsteady is boring
These dudes ain't through with their yawning
Need to get off it
So wack wack is all you can call it
Therefore, moving on the deaf is something
Regardless of what town your representing
A bullet in the audience settlement
Tower the tenement
I mold through for all of the element
Simmer down
I manage your mayhem
I'm bright as the A.M.
And you're rocking more like a station
I'm blessed with the fresh from day one
I got it from day done
We all going back to the same one
It's the cost of motivation I'll stay with
Remarkable flavors
That all is a market of greatness
Woah now
Is to get us to buck town
Your girl is in love now
You thought it so funny
Shorty is down, shoo
Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Quiet dog, wild hog, let's rock
Ha
And we don't stop
See you rock to the rhythm we don't stop
So you maintain the rock and you don't stop
You keep up the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
You keep up the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
