[Verse 1 - Mos Def]
With so much drama in the N-Y-C
It´s kinda hard bein´ M-O-S Def-initely
But I, some how, some way
Keep comin´ up with funky ass shit with the Black Jack Jay
May, I, spit a lyric for my ghetto Pe-ople?
Show me ´nough respect when I breeze, through
Riders beep they horn
´cause I keep the party jumpin´ like yo´ mamma ain´t home
I´m just a freak individual singin´ my song
Shinin´ bright on the mic like it´s six in the morn´ (six in the morn´)
So peep out my manuscript
Reach up, sleevess up, for a second NOW BOUNCE
This is the one that make the party wile´ out
Nigga...I said wile´ out
Nigga, I SAID wile´ out
Lemme show you what we´re talkin´ about (C´MON!)

Huh, ha, yes, hah, uh, hah, rock wit´ me now
Uh, ha, yes, ah, uh, rock wit´ me now

[Verse 2 - Ludacris]
Tables fulla hi-hat, a dash of drums
Sprinkle in a little keyboard, a pint of rum
With just a pinch of purple haze and a gallon of bass
Mix snares with rock ´n´ roll and throw it all in ya face
Pre-heat the studio to about a hundred degress
Ludacris, Mos Def and your best emcees
You´ll get BURNT just for thinkin´ you can step to me
And thats the end of my little ghetto re-ci-pee
My des-tinies are rhythm, hit ´em with the rhythm
Hit ´em, click ´em, then HA, HA-HA strip ´em
Jump the fuck (back), no gun can pump (that)
I punch the engi-(neer) and slap the whole (track)
Then pop all the speakers and stip the wires
Blow smoke from the MPs and amplifiers
Here to spit truth for the LIAR, LIARS
I´m the hottest emcee, y´all a FIRE-FIRED
[Mos Def] {Background singers}

So incredible! Fantastic! (ohh!)
Freak Daddy shit....FIRE!!
C´mon (woo!) nigga, rock to it
Uh (uh), hah (hah), yeah (yeah)
{Clap your hands now, people, clap your hands}
Ridin´ high (high)
Ridin´ low (low)
{Clap your hands now, people, clap your hands}
Ridin´ clean (clean)
Ridin´ dirty (dirty)
