Mos Def - Auditorium Lyrics
Peace, peace, peace, peace
Power, power
Mad liberator
Def operator
Rock the fader
The way I feel sometimes it's too hard to sit still
Things are so passionate times are so real
Sometimes I try and chill mellow down blow a smoke
Smile on my face but it's really no joke
You feel it in the streets people breathe without hope
They going through the motion, they dimming down their focus
The focus get clear and the light turn sharp
And the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
I speak it so clearly sometimes you don't hear me
I feel it in my bones, black, I'm so wide awake
That I hardly ever sleep, my flow forever deep
And it's volumes or scriptures when I breathe on a beat
My presence speak volumes before I say a word
I'm everywhere penthouse pavement and curb
Cradle to the grave tall cathedral of a shell
Universal ghetto life holla black you know it well
Quiet storm vital form pen pushed it right across
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
Soul is the lion's roar, voice is the siren
I swing round ring out and bring down the tyrant
Shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided
The world is so dangerous there's no need for fighting
Suckas tryna hide like the struggle won't find em
And the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him
Everywhere penthouse pavement and curb
Cradle to the grave talk'll cathedral of a shell
Universal ghetto life holla black you know it well
What it is
You know they know
What it is
We know y'all know
What it is
Ecstatic there it is
Huh
Ecstatic! (Un punto)
Peace, power
Fantastic
So original
What it is
You know we know
What it is
They know y'all know
What it is
You don't know? Here it is
What it is
You know we know
What it is
They know y'all know
What it is
You don't know? Here it is
Ecstatic! (Un punto)
Peace, power
Fantastic
So original
And always on time and rocking your mind
Ruler
Sit and come relax riddle off the mac, it's the patch
I'm a soldier in the middle of Iraq
Well say about noonish comin' out the whip
And looking at me curious, a young Iraqi kid (aw)
Carrying laundry. "What's wrong G? Hungry?"
"No, gimme my oil get the fuck out my country."
And in Arabian barking other stuff
Jihad
'Til his moms come grab him and they walk off in a rush
Distrust, feeling like I's pissed upon wound
I'm like shorty hope that we can fix our differences soon (bye!)
Buying apples hun breaking on
You take everything why not just take the damn food black master
I don't understand it, on another planet?
Fifteen month of this stuff how I'm gonna manage?
And increasing the sentiment gentlemen
Getting down on their middle eastern instruments
Realized trapped in this crap
Walk over kicked one of my fabulous raps (la di da di)
Arab jaw dropped, they well wished they glad wrapped
Now the kid considered like an Elvis of Baghdad
[Omar:] Men have two faces: one that laughs and one that cries
[Ali:] They sent you?
[Omar:] Yeah, so? Here
[Hook]
What it is, you know, they know
What it is, we know, y'all know
What it is, ecstatic, there it is
What it is, you know, we know
What it is, they know, y'all know
What it is, you don't know? Here it is

iconic.
I swear every time I hear this song I love the beat and lyrics that mos gives but slick was bogus for giving it such little effort. But that’s what happened when you get your head up your ass like NAS
Still a banger since the first time I heard it
Respict from 🇲🇦 🔥
Why is this not on Spotify tho???
Whos's from 🇩🇿 here ?
🇲🇦 Moroccan
MADLIB INVASION
Slick Rick sounds reeeaaal nice in this one thanks Def
That's def a Bollywood sample
Yasiin bey is the greatest player in the game, feeling that on every track of him.
Most won’t even understand what this man is speaking on
Old school baby, fuck new shit
Amemosnos unos a otros como Jesús nos ama

Mos' verse on this track is one of the greatest ever written. It's soo amazing, that it makes Slick's story seem juvenile and irrelevant.
Slick rick verse so relevant still
Sir. Rick.
this song was always bumping when me and the homies would do graffiti in Downtown Los Angeles good memories

There's a mark on my son. Its like, he's a lighter. Its not a context. Its an assessment. Dont under rate him. You'll be killing the prettiest blind spot in revelry. He's a marine.
Its much easier when you set the level your playing on in 1st person mode. So loosen up about a beneficial fall. It means they can't work on my level.
I'm not playing with a controller. My way is allowed. And one last assessment? End of story.
I never said, take off. I said, rise above. How do you think it happens?
Propellar of salt.
Heli 'f I know!
One of the best beats of all time
Definitely one of the hip hop greats ✌️🎶🎶 what it is
one of the rawest beats of all time...
This song is at the peak level of all rap and hip hop. Nothing can or will ever compete with this.
What ain't on Spotify????
Awesome band🎸😎
Can we please have this back on Spotify??? Wtf man it's been ages.
FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone knows the sample?
I think it's from an arabic cartoon series called سندباد. itäs middle eastern so something similar to this propably.
Also samples the great film Battle of Algiers towards the end
Fuck wit it?!
Under stand!...live!...short dogs dont know?!..real hip jop ship!....ill stated for life!...chicago!..big PROWL!......
mindblowing

Killer of Sheep brought me here 🖤🖤
This will always be a classic.. argument to the best
"Negus is a royal title in the Ethiopian Semitic languages. It denotes a monarch, such as the Bahri Negasi of the Medri Bahri kingdom in pre-1890 Eritrea, and the Negus in pre-1974 Ethiopia. The Negus is referred to as An-Najashi in the Islamic tradition. "
The Real Goat
I sincerely hope they know removing this song doesn't cease it's play morely gets it played more, Pirated and more likey bootlegged to a CD.
ce son me fait bander
aldın götürdün be kral

2020 anyone ?
Yes bro, word up from Poland 🙏❤️
From France 🔥
Every year)
This beat still gives me chills
Madlib baby
Madlib’s beat from “Movie Finale” off of Beat Konducta, vol. 3&4
This had a million views back then but this still 🔥🔥🔥
Where are the themes taken from?
This one sounds like something out of an old bollywood film
넘 좋아요
c trop vrai
🎵 MOS DEF 🎼 Auditorium 🔼🔼🔼🔼◻◾ft Slick Rick 🎤 doin it proper♠
Why is my entire album on Apple Music unplayable
I know what this is
Its🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know what it is 👌🏾😉
New year's eve 2019 still a banger
Facts 💯💯
most hypnotic loop i've heard in hip hop
I had this song on repeat back in the day
An Elvis of Baghdad
Legendary shit right here kids
Madlib is a top 2 producer all time
who's your numer 1?
3:27 Anybody able to translate this?
"This one doesnt win, this one doesnt win and this one doesnt.. Ace of spades
wins." (explaining a card game rules). little kid saying something about someone happy and someone crying. Man responds: "They sent you?"
From algerian arabic. I think it was a part of speech of Ali la pointe from the movie the battle of Algiers.
@ahmed limame thank you :)
Who wants to hear mumble rap when you have flows like this?
stop being close minded, mumble rap is not even a genre. Youre reffering to trap and cloud rap which is amazing in its own way
@Milos Djordjevic Amazing?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Right. 🤣🤣🤣
@Luis Castellon Yes. Every genre of music is amazing. There is no such thing as a bad genre.
@Lain sure. Everything is rainbows too.
Musical preference is entirely subjective. Unless we’re talking about mumble trap rap, that shit is objectively trash
who’s ready for that black star album - totally produced by madlib!?
dramaskrybe Madlib is that mafucka!!!!!!! That’s it point blank!!!!!!!!
Gunnlib and the next Freddie Gibbs/madlib are what I’m most hyped from him
@Bob John Both exciting projects. . . But we've only had one Black Star album in the past twenty years. Most of us had given up on the dream that we'd get another. Now, not only is there one on the queue, but it's fully produced by Madlib? That's mythical sh*t.
the beat and flow is soo cold!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What was the point of taking this off Spotify 😢🤷♂️🥶
you can't judge the american army
Thomas Panyi wow I never realized that
Licensing issues with his new label, I believe. Happens all the time with artists, unfortunately.
Thomas Panyi I think you’re thinking of Afghanistan and not Iraq
@finn a 9/11 was done by saudi arabians, and the U.S. has boots on the ground in most countries of the world
Am I the only one who Hope's slick rick dies in a horrible car accident ?
U shouldnt hope for bad things like that to happen to ppl & slick rick one of the best artists ever! Your taste of music is worse than doggshit man🤣🤣
Watson Delmick have you ever heard children’s story?
Slick Rick has a bad flow? lol I didn't realise it was possible for a statement to be that factually incorrect
#triggered
Did slick drop you from his label or something or not pay you for a beat you mad af at him 😂
This beat is fucking haunting. The lyrics are dope too of course, but just gotta shoutout to whomever made this awesome ass beat.
Madlib made the beat, he's a great producer
só falta vc no Spotify
Why this not on spotify?
They don't pay him that's why
Licensing issues. Used to be on it, though.
Always takes me back to early 2010's, this song was the shit to cruz with car full of people
my god Rick is the beast....listen to that flow and mellownes
Still free download
All tree goats but sliks part crazy
A masterpiece
This is a throwback
Much love from Mexico
Mos def aka greatest rapper of all time
The greatest rapper of all time.
Is Starks!
My favorite MCee
My Fav is MF DOOM
Slick Rick is the greatest, who rotten em?
After 10 years this song is still a banger!🔥
What da Fuck Happen
I remember this was Millions of Views
Maybe this song was deleted and uploded again
Yes bizzare
@amir hamaden blizzard ice cream
Bruh the original got taken down due to a legal dispute between his label.
🔥🔥🔥
Dear fuckin Spotify and you greedy corporate bastards.. fuck you stop trying to control the masses put trash on the market and preventing music like from shining
for those wondering why mos def songs keep getting taken down it's because of a legal dispute between his label. Also he's dropping a new album called ''negus''.
@balle733 what did you think of it?
this song is also a rip off of the original sample, nothing was done to it
Lokei that’s how rapping over beats works, nerd
@bwandyn I think what he means is that when the producer sampled the beat he barely changed it, maybe only adding drums and changing the tempo in which case you can get sued. You have to have permission to sample a song and you have to change it extremely so as not to get sued.
Was wondering why this classic was so difficult to find
Who the hell gave a thumbs down, smack yo self 👍
Some dumb ass gave it a thumbs down
Exactly💯
This song underrated!
The way I feel, sometimes it's too hard to sit still
Things are so passionate, times are so real
Sometimes I try and chill, mellow down, blowin' smoke
Smile on my face but it's really no joke
You feel it in the street, the people breathe without hope
They goin' through the motion, they dimmin' down the focus
The focus get cleared then the light turn sharp
And the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
I speak it so clearly sometimes y'all don't hear me
I push it past the bass, know nations gotta feel me
I feel it in my bones, black I'm so wide awake
That I hardly ever sleep, my flow forever deep
And it's volumes or scriptures when I breathe on a beat
My presence speak volumes before I say a word
I'm everywhere: penthouse, pavement and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral or a cell
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well
Quiet storm, vital form, pen pushed it right across
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
Soul is the lion's roar, voice is the siren
I swing round, ring out, and bring down the tyrant
Shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided
The world is so dangerous, there's no need for fightin'
Suckas trying to hide like the struggle won't find 'em
Then the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him
Everywhere penthouse pavement and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral or a cell
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well
BOSS🔥
[Sample]
Omar: Men have two faces: one that laughs and one that cries
Ali: They sent you?
Omar: Yeah, so? Here
[Hook]
What it is, you know, they know
What it is, we know, y'all know
What it is, Ecstatic, there it is
What it is, you know, we know
What it is, they know, y'all know
What it is, you don't know? Here it is
What it is, you know, we know
What it is, they know, y'all know
What it is, you know, here it is
Dylon dylon dylon that shit fire
These lyrics are pure genius
Pure inspiration
