Little Brother Black Star

[Intro: Mos Def, Talib Kweli & Roy Ayers]
Now listen
Doin' this song for you
All my little brothers out in the street, strugglin' to survive
Keep your eyes on the prize, you know
Yeah, the revolution will not be televised, or broadcast live on the net
My man Mos said it's personal, knamsayin'?
It's gotta start from right up in here, you know?

[Refrain: Mos Def & Talib Kweli]
You can't stop, you know
You can't stop, you know
You can't stop, you know
You can't stop, you know
You can't stop what we rep

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
We rep the ain't-gots
Ain't nobody can't start no party like us, we crush the faint hearts
From Hallsey to St. Mark's, walkin' the main blocks
Tainted with blood that's still hot, so deep it stain socks
The pain sparks frustration, situations lead to hatin'
Some deal with drug distribution, others walk the plantation
Some know the code of the streets, some got a college education
Come down on the weekend and peep the conversation
