[Intro: Mos Def]
Hello Children
[Hook 1: Mos Def]
Black Jack Johnson N.Y.C., R-O-C-K-I-N-G
Sun and the moon, earth, stars, and planets
Before song done, y'all gon' all understand it
[Verse 1: Mos Def]
Like - Hot
The haters can't fuck with it
Cause they mom and they sister and girl in love with it (And they niggas)
Sound man holla black, come with it (Come with it)
Spin the record 'till the record done spinning
Up top, is you getting up with it?
Dirty dirty, is you getting crunk with it?
Smokey smoke from coast to coast
Be careful our first draw be that overdose
Who stay holding it from Brooklyn? You know it's Mos!
Ha, Jackpot I (Sing yo) got to go for broke
Is this the only way the Smith Family know to go
Right here to my youngest one is older folks
I'ma put down like a dirty so and so
Freak daddy came here to work the mojo - oh
Because the - high is high and the low is low
And that go for the sinner man to holy folk
Put your shit in the sky like I know you know
[Brooklyn stand up!]
Ha, my ghetto nation get toe to toe
Stay rocking steady steady cause I told you so
And after y'all get it go I let it go some more
That Black Jack about something for sure, for sure
[Say what!]
For sure for sure [Ha!]
Let me see you in the world making your shoulder roll
And if it get good tell your nigga throw your 'bows
