You Already Knew Black Star

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Fight for the whole purse
Cause life is a cold verse

[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]
Mathematics is steel in the hour of
Chaos and God power love
Topple the Tower of Babylon
Break the great steel gate and elevate
Above all hate and all things
Grace, enthusiasm, sincerity, passion
Known through the classes and masses, massive
Trans-Atlantic mavericks, you are living Asiatic
The organic masters, the cream of the planet
The Panthers, sovereigns with answers
Medicine for madness, divine guideline for balance
Beyond sensational rapture
How clever to capture phony ceremony theatrics
So real it's surreal, look at my face
You could feel it before I had anything to say
Yasiin, Dante, Black Star, ever see all day
Fantastic, great, rise, elevate

[Hook: Yasiin Bey]
Before I made the news, you already know
And that's the truth
I said, before I made the news
You already know
And that's the truth
I said, before I made the news
You already know
And that's the truth
