If You Can Huh! You Can Hear (original version) Yasiin Bey

Hey, yo man, I think that dude's tryin to break into your car
...what?

New york life... type trife...
That's why I'm tryin to shine the light, yo
Here it come, here it come, here it come, y'all

Mos def, blessed with the breath of life so arise and give praises
Turn my face to where the mighty sun raises
My book of rhyme pages, filled with phrases that amaze
I could go on for days
First name dante, last name beze
Build the house of tomorrow with bricks of today
My foundation rests on allah corner stone
Shine the light throught the mic to radiate your zone
See, the world that we know is about to get finished
I'm watching last days wind down to final minutes
Got dreams of paradise and my whole fam in it
So I ain't got time to play no crime lieutenant
Do you got time to play the crime lieutenant?
See time is the asset, how you gonna spend it
The way you handle yours will be well documented
It's the raw authentic, sandalwood scented
To make you bump the joint and in beyond city limits
Twenty-first, no time to, approach a thing timid
My name is mos def and this is how I get in it
