Mos Def - Do It Now Lyrics






[Mos Def]
Back up, back up, back up, back up
Back up back up back up back up EASE off
This goes out to all area crew (yes yes)
To my BK crew (ooh-OOOOOOOH-WHEEE) to my QB crew
My LI crew, my Shaolin crew
My Dirty South crew
(What cha'll niggaz about the Dirty South?)
Atlanta, North Cakalak'
For all my fam, all area crew (AOWWWWWWWWW)
Yeah mon!!

Yes, the first cut should be the deepest
to penetrate beyond the muscle wall's inner regions
First you was icin me, connect with the starin at the speakers
Heard the rhyme, head high, what ya starin at ya sneakers
You shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now
You don't feel fly now, you huntin the exit sign down
Fuck what you heard, cause I snatch the grapevine down (yea yeah)
Don't understand how I ran the line down, rewind now

[Busta Rhymes]
YO!! We be the most magnetic, so athletic
Leave your peeps on the side so they can watch you and your mans get it
Take the arch rivalry stance up on the podium
And give the flavor to niggaz but keep it low on sodium
Posess shit that got you wonderin how we holdin em
Things that'll lay you out like a piece of linoleum
Bring who-ever you want, we bout to bug son and bounce
down to Henry Hudson, after I bust one!

Hotter than Reno when discovered by Bugsy Siegal
I'm black like Don Cheadle shoutin power to the people
My rhymes dipping like the lifeline on the e-boat
The raw sugar cane, NutraSweet, never Equal
If you in a Benzito or your mother's Buick Regal
I get up like Chino shoutin power to the people!!

[Busta Rhymes]
Yo, me and the Mighty Mos shine like a light post
Live nigga shit be straight FUCKIN UP THE WHITE FOLKS

Heavy aquatic water flows keep them on they toes
Tell them thugs that wanna be CEO's to be derobed
'Fore I wear your little dumb ass out like Easter clothes!

[Busta Rhymes]
Yo, yo-yo yo-yo

Sometime I speak slow so people understand my street flow
And while we keep it hot, we got the most shine up in

    Yo, me and the Mighty Mos shine like a light post
    Live nigga shit be straight FUCKIN UP THE WHITE FOLKS

    Well that was incredibly racist. 
    If I said this shit I would be in jail.

    Z.... ....

    @Joe Corneli Particularly in Mathematics: "the system break man child and women into figures, two columns for who is and who ain't niggas" I interpreted as a line based on class rather than race. I think Mos Def used this to imply that higher class society I.E. the government have the ability to define anybody as a "nigga" regardless of their race. In relation to this song I think "white folk" isn't referring to white people, he could've said that. I think by that he's once again referring to the higher class society that looks down on these "niggas" who live in ghettos. I think in saying this he still wasn't referring to a particular race but to a particular social group which I might add is predominantly white people in America and other developed countries. I also interpreted the word "folk" as sort of old language that attempts to make clear of this. It is a less commonly used word now and I think this made a point to try and reassure the audience that the means of this line were not racist. Using this older terminology I think he targets particularly those who are in power who have been in power for their entire lives and would never think to share said power with less privileged people in order to boost equality.

    I understand why people may have been offended by their interpretation of this line, if it was the other way around I might have too but I hope other people will share my perspective in its meaning and be more understanding about who it was targeted to.

    Z.... ....

    @Zorn101 The problem is you don't know what racism is. To be racist requires one to have power in a society. This is why only white people can be racist in a white supremacist society. Black people can only be prejudice againt white people but then again, they learned this behavior from their white oppressors. You're the worst type of racist.

    Z.... ....

    @Angel Majao The problem is I do not think you know what racism is. Your definition is border line retarded.

    Z.... ....

    its basically like an episode of the boondocks

    Z.... ....

    Zorn101 you clearly misunderstood the meaning of the verse... it means they have cross-over... it means white people even like hardcore shit... *sigh*
