Mos Def - Zimzallabim Lyrics






[Intro]
Yeah
Give it to 'em
yes,yes,yes,yes,aha ah!
Ghetto people..this one's for you
And you and you and you
And you and you in the front
yo!
Jack Johnson (aha) live and stompin
Undisputed heavy weights champ (aha) of the world

[Verse 1]
Yo I'm live with it, low, middle, the high with it
And that's how I'ma live and die with it
Hold up and down your spine with it
Like Zimzallabim, Jack Johnson, yes my dog, right with them!
The most special, most ghetto, most method, most valuable
Rep my avenue like is the damn state capital
Coming shadows to mind, a better mark of rapeness
On slaves who high jacked the slave ships
The hackers who remapped the matrix
And built the road back to basics
And getcha all off that strain shit
You know this other cats run game with, it's tainted
Consider this the moment that changed it: NOW!
Jack john's stand strong never bow down
Back off or get clapped dog right about POW
For east to the west,up north to down south
We show you how to REALLY make moshpit bounce
Show you how the gritty make the ghetto wild out
First letters that I wrote when I sketch the script down
I'M LIVE WITH IT
low, middle, the high with it
And that's how I'ma live and die with it
I shine with it, rhyme with it, reveal and recognise with it
The ghetto know what time is it, when i spit it
Me 9-semi, an iron lion strike with it
See Dr. Know string a knot and make 'em ride with it

And look alive
Ghetto rock with me
Look alive
Ghetto rock with me
Aha yeah
Throw it up
Ghetto rock with me
Show it up
Ghetto rock with me

[Verse 2]
Born to rock, since my pawn shift rise (??)
Rock the booze water on any bully on your block
My flow tighter than a big titties halter top
Doper than a floyd flake that they bought they pops
Since I bright a con duke of course I'm not
My sharp mind join the dots and blow they plots
A lot of cats talk noise a lot, but then the noise is stopped
When the heavy sound voice in charge
And this is no limp bizkit this is jack's fat cock
loaded up slightly back, ghetto black rock
Brooklyn got bomb-rush that you can't stop
These the hungry hands that gon snatch your cash box
I never gave a second what on "the fuck is with y'all?"
Cuz my first thought covered it all
YOU WHACK!!!
And I don't care what you sound since not mumblin y'all
Cause you can't do me nothing at all
Which means, you can't shine my shoes watch my drawers
Clean my cloth walk my dog moan my loan
On other words dude I don't need SHIT from them
All I got is hard rhymes and hot spit for them
And yeah, I got the country new (raaatttttt) for them
See how dark it can get for them?
Tell their mommas THAT'S IT for them
Get the flowers, they'll sing for them
A sad story how it'll end for them
That's what you get for not listenin' FIRE!!
And a long rest in kumbayah
You stand strong you can't move higher
You move in "how we all can move higher?"
Ready to roll like new tire
Well I can show you who the true lion
True power move quiet thru the understandin of the science

[Outro]
We live with it, no middle, the high with it
And that's how we gon live and die with it
Now ride with it
Yeah, ghetto rock with me
Ghetto rock with me
Ghetto rock with me
Ghetto rock!! Ghetto... MOTHERFUCKERS!

Freaky radio!

  1. C.... B....

    Ah who cares how many people listen. This shit is fire regardless.

  2. S.... M....

    Easy Mo Bee is one of the greatest producers and he doesn’t get credit for it.

  3. D.... G....

    One of the most underrated songs ever. Search up 'Good Vibes HeadAche KING DOTTA'

  4. h.... i....

    I don't care what anyone says about Mos Def or whatever you think of him, he's still a legend in my eyes & he's the reason why I love hiphop till to this day when I bought his album Black on both sides. Mos Def is the GOAT 🐐

  5. M.... C....

    & I don’t care bout whatcha son sons bumble to y’all

    Deff is a savage on the mic son. Way to understated in this world of garbage “rappers”

  6. K.... W....

    Mos Def, make more Rap-Rock 🤘

  7. p.... ....

    "Ready to roll like new tires!"

  8. N.... P....

    "Flow tighter than a big titty halter top"

  9. e.... ....

    I never understood why Mos Def didn't go hard on beats like this more often. I love Mos but when he sounds like, angry, and just absolutely starts ripping the microphone, I get about as pumped as I can. His verse on "RE:Definition" always made me feel that way and I feel the same way about this song as you get to the 2nd verse and on.

    e.... ....

    I know exactly what you mean. He's also like that on "Next Universe". Check it out, SOOO much passion and emotion on that track.

  10. K.... ....

    Hell Ya! Slaves Who Hijack Slaves Ships !! Fuckin Gold, Mos Def Way ahead of his time - Respect Bro!!!!

  11. A.... B....

    LOVE THAT METAL INFLUENCE!!!!

  12. I.... ....

    EASY MO BEE did a nice job with this, mos def is a legend

  13. d.... v....

  14. W.... o....

    What bout "Flava In Ya Ear" Remix, Ill Al Skratch's "Chill With That" Remix, Biggie's unreleased "Whutchu Want", Heavy D & The Boyz's unreleased "I Got Love For Ya" Remix, Craig Mack's "Get Down", Chubb Rock's "Games We Play"....
    They are all slept on CLASSICS to the extreme, most ppl ain't even heard em...

  19. S.... R....

    Mos Def - Beauty in the Dark (Music video by SOSA REAL)

  20. C.... R....

    All hail the Mighty Mos! Get blazed, get out on my bike on the waterfront and just burn up ground.

  21. G.... ....

    @TheNativeDialect

    Those are good examples but my original post remains true.

  22. G.... ....

    Tracks like these are why you have to love Mos. Few hip hop artists can combine rock and hip hop and rock it like this.

  23. C.... C....

    Well, there goes my face again.

  24. P.... L....

    Mos Def keeps it real.This is how you know he ain't in it for the money.He's all about makin the music.

  25. J.... S....

    Respect to EASY MO BEE!

    J.... S....

    Jake Styles Islam

  26. S.... R....

    LOVE THE ROCKY-METAL OPENING. Love Mos Def amazing hip-hop

  27. M.... ....

    reminds me of an american tricky

  28. Y.... P....

    @scammy2010 hahahaha...u are a fooooolL!

  29. e.... ....

    I seen Mighty Mos in Dublin last year, he blew my Mind, man i Love him, true hip hop, true artist, true magic!

  30. D.... 4....

    5 stars for the person who actually wrote the song. 1 star for the tool that stands up on stage and bounces around making hand gestures as if he had any part in the creative process. So that averages to around 3.

  31. i.... ....

    the almighty Easy Mo Bee

  32. b.... ....

    Mos Def - representin. Keep it up, wild'n out

  33. J.... ....

    this song is sick
    mos def is one of the best
