This is a song, got two lyrics
Very simple and plain we can all sing together
Nobody has to feel left out
Join in, this is the song people need to be singing right now
When they tell you you can’t, you shouldn’t, you won’t
Tell ‘em this:
There is a way
No matter what they say
Don’t give up, don’t give in
this song gets me started daily…i say to them
THERE IS A WAY—-AAYYYYYYY NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!!!!!

“Brooklyn”…this is actually my 4 and a half year old daughter’s FAVORITE SONG! Her name is Brooklyn…
“Cuz it’s the B-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
L-Y-N is the place where I stay
The B-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
Best in the world and all USA
It’s the B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
L-Y-N is the place where I stay…”
When she was about 3, this is how we taught her to spell her name! In about a week, she had it down! lolololol – y’all didn’t mos def was a pre-school teacher too, huh?! Besides, I could NEVER PICK JUST ONE FAVORITE MOS DEF cut…or Black Star for that matter!

My favorite song right now is “Wahid” by Mos Def….especially this verse:
And the one can done so cool
Schoolin’ the young like Rev Run
Quote pop and ’til they keep their heads up
And when the pressure comes down, press back and press up!
Fret not, ghetto world, guess what?
God is on your side, the devil is a lie!
The Empire holds all the gold and the guns
but when all is said and done there’s one.
B-O-O-G-I-E-M-A-N!!!!!!!
I love Ms. Fat booty! Dmincey89@yahoo.com
Definition is my favorite.
Mos Def’s best verse is on “B-Boy Document” from The High and Mighty’s debut full-length on Rawkus. I promise. Does a guest verse count?
Senator Bret
“Know That” with Talib Kweli off the Black on Both Sides Album (classic by the way)

Tough choice but I have to go with:
1) Mos Def – ‘Beauty in the Dark’ (ft. Isley Bros.) – Normally an Isley Bros cover would be blasphemous but this song is just so damn smooth.
2) Black Star – ‘Brown Skin Lady’ – this song reminds me of my college days & my fine ass ex gf. Damn I may have to look her up!!!

“New World Water” one of the most inventive songs ever
BoogieMAN
With all the new hip hop styles out there it would be easy to change up to fit in with whats poppin on the radio. Mos Def continues to do what he do….keeping it real, fresh, original and always DOPE!!!!

Favorite Mos Def song (at the moment, they’re always changing) is “Sunshine”.
And to demonstrate how badly I want these tickets here’s “You should pick me” in four DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!

Usted me debe escoger.
Vous devriez me choisir.
