Mos Def - History Lyrics
[Mos Def]
Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in"
Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon
Some in winter, some in June
It's our code, it's the natural
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo
I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy, some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change
But they never leave, they here to stay
Holiday, holiday, happy birthday
Soul on flesh, this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox, seven and three
M.D., the history (come on)
Every soul got wonder D (yes)
It's where you been and where you be
And without understanding you cannot proceed
Complete, the start and the end
Then it just go round again... again
[Talib Kweli and Mos Def]
Again and again, brand new
Again and again, so fresh
Again and again, newness
[Talib Kweli]
I was born in the decade of decadence where they worship what they have
Ford was president, do the math
The war was ended when the Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon
We was like "Bye", we was gone, let bygones be bygones
I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Where the hug you with the firearm side arm
Like new school clothes, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, it's facts, no mystery
I'm down with the crew like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with The Roots like the Given Tree
Powerful, bigotry I work, me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We "Get it Poppin'" like a hit chorus
The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us
You pick with us, and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history so they missing us
[Mos Def]
And don't call it come back in particular
We've been effort blending to affirmer or
Fade into peripheral, {?} of the minister's original
We're broadcast clear without diminishing
Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers
Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness

Один трек, а уйма воспоминаний (музыка волшебна)
Ахренеть 10 лет прошло
History will always be in my future.
I remember this when it was on NBA live 10. That soundtrack was so great. Back when Hip Hop was HIP HOP
Why can't this approach to hip hop come back? Real creativity and positive energy. More real.

2019 🔥
Seen them preform this at the Brooklyn Hip Hop festival in summer 2018. Insane fire
Science is a jewel 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mos Kweli + Dilla........smh too good to be true
Didn't realize he repped Mussolini. Is he aware of Mussolini's campaigns in Africa?
On it in 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nba Live 10

Ummmm....this is the problem with the world if you ask me. We got immortal men among us, but they're only in power in the hearts of their disciples.... if I woke up tomorrow and Talib was pres and Mos was vice, or visa-versa.... I'd know I was dead cuz, that would be paradise. Word up

[Intro]
Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in"
Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon
Some in winter, some in June
It's our code, it's the natural
The science is a jewel
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo
[Verse 1]
I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy, some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change
But they never leave, they here to stay
Holiday, holiday, happy birthday
Teenage love, the first cut run deep
Soul on flesh, this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox, seven and three
M.D., the history (come on)
Every soul's got one of these (yes)
It's where you been and where you be
And without understanding you cannot proceed
Complete, the start and the end
Then it just go round again
[Hook]
Again and again, brand new
Again and again, so fresh
Again and again, newness
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
I was born in the decade of decadence where they worship what they have
Ford was president, do the math
The war was ended when the Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon
We was like, bye; we was gone, let bygones be bygones
I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Where the hug you with the firearm, try it on
Like new school clothes, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, it's facts, no mystery
I'm down with the crew like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with the Roots like the Giving Tree
Powerful, bigotry at work, me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We get it poppin' like a hit chorus
The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us
Ubiquitous, and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history so they missing us
[Outro]
And don't call it comeback in particular
We will never blend into ephemera or
Fade into peripheral, transition of the minister's original
We're broadcast clear without diminishing
Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers
Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness

Top 5 Dead or alive when you ryhme UBIQUITOUS with anything - #TALIBKWELI #YASINBEY
I get so emotional when I see this vid. Real hip-hop that touches the soul.
My generation raps about drugs, hoes and cash and that shit gets boring but this😍😍😍is timeless. Trap music only lasts a few months then it's dead🚮
We was like bye we was gone... Let bygones be bygones - Talib

Is he telling you how to fix up yourself or does he care about how you look and your image
Wow such lyricist like frfr

For all the brothers and sisters of the past present and future, who have fought in the struggle, regardless of whether they’re alive or dead. #blacklivesmatter
