Mos Def Lyrics: Speed Law Lyrics

Mos Def - Speed Law

[Watch it]

Relax pump the brakes

You're speeding money

You'll smash your whole shit up [slow down]

Lights be changing fast on these streets money slow down

[slow down] Sleeping on the wrong cats

Clear like a megaphone

Pretty nigga heart skipped the metronome

Rocked the Trump Tower to the terrordome

Poor house to pleasure domes

Soprano alto tenor to baritone

MOS DEF one of the illest that you ever known

Rock steady baby, you a stepping stone

Smash your foundation into pebbles

My words leave your nerves unsettled

You take it to the next level down

Looking like a circus clown

Cats like you can't even get a pound

Worldwide from the river to lakeside

My stage show stay live, make the sound man stage dive

I cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball lines

I'm home 'fore I'm done with all nine

Got you shook like a fault line

Come all shine and get tarnished

Brooklyn got your pay roll garnished

They form a huddle

Whisper like they want trouble

I melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles

Make the proud-hearted leave on the humble

Black steel in the hour

Assemble my skill form my power

My poems crush bones into powder

You mumble like a coward

I'm Mos Def, you need to speak louder

SUPER HEREOS!

Get your power, your masks and capes snatched

Brooklyn take what you can't take back

I know a lot of cats hate that

All I can say black

There's a city full of walls you can post complaints at

All the doubters and believers adjust your receivers

"I feel it," you can taste it through the speakers

The three six oh-riginal sketch lyrics so visual

They rent my rhyme
