Kweli say
Everybody act according
to the season that they born in
Some are the night
some are the morning
some at noon
Some in winter some in June
It's our code it's the natural
The science is a joke
For me and mines yours and you
Let's move
tell you a little about mine yo
I was born in a season
where the world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad
feelings pass and change
But they never leave
they here to stay
Holiday holiday happy birthday
Teenage love
the first cut run deep
Soul on flesh
this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox seven and three
M.D. the history
come on
Every soul got wonder D
yes
It's where you been and where you be
And without understanding
you cannot proceed
Complete the start and the end
Then it just go round again again
Again and again brand new
Again and again so fresh
Again and again newness
I was born in the decade
of decadence
where they worship what they have
Ford was president do the math
The war was ended
when the Vietnamese
stormed the city of Saigon
We was like Bye we was gone
let bygones be bygones
I'm gone spread love
it's the Brooklyn way
Where the hug you
with the firearm side arm
Like new school clothes
Black Star official
Smash when we do a show
it's facts no mystery
I'm down with the crew
like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with The Roots
like the Given Tree
Powerful bigotry I work
me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down
considerably
We Get it Poppin' like a hit chorus
The flow is historic
they can't get rid of us
You pick with us
and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history
so they missing us
And don't call it
come back in particular
We've been effort
blending to affirmer or
Fade into peripheral transition
of the minister's original
We're broadcast clear
without diminishing
Black Star so tight
burning soul temperatures
and ministers
Alkalines aminos and
minerals essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material
remember it's right now foreverness
