Fear Not of Man Lyrics

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem
If you can hear me, Ladies and Gentlemen Then I'm very happy that you came here
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, we That was for Brooklyn Ha ha, we get it every time You got me on? Ohh
Shout out to all of my crew, East-West, North-South All the continent, Europe, all abroad international Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in, bring it in It's a lot of things goin' on y'all
21st century is comin', 20th century almost done A lot of things have changed, a lot of things have not, mainly us We gon' get it together right? I believe that Listen, people be askin' me all the time
Yo Mos, what's gettin' ready to happen with Hip-Hop? (Where do you think Hip-Hop is goin'?) I tell 'em, "You know what's gonna happen with Hip-Hop? Whatever's happening with us"
If we smoked out, Hip-Hop is gonna be smoked out If we doin' alright, Hip-Hop is gonna be doin' alright People talk about Hip-Hop like it's some giant livin' in the hillside Comin' down to visit the townspeople, we are Hip-Hop
Me, you, everybody, we are Hip-Hop So Hip-Hop is goin', where we goin' So the next time you ask yourself where Hip-Hop is goin' Ask yourself, where am I goin'? How am I doin'?
'Til you get a clear idea So, if Hip-Hop is about the people And the Hip-Hop won't get better until the people get better Then how do people get better?
Well, from my understanding people get better When they start to understand that, they are valuable And they not valuable because they got a whole lot of money Or 'cause somebody, think they sexy
But they valuable 'cause they been created by God And God, makes you valuable And whether or not you, recognize that value is one thing You got a lot of societies and governments
Tryin' to be God, wishin' that they were God They wanna create satellites and cameras everywhere And make you think they got the all-seein' eye Eh, I guess the last poets wasn't, too far off
When they said that certain people got a God Complex I believe it's true I don't get phased out by none of that, none of that Helicopters, the TV screens, the newscasters, the
Satellite dishes, they just, wishin' They can't really never do that When they tell me to fear they law When they tell me to try to
Have some fear in my heart behind the things that they do This is what I think in my mind And this is what I say to them And this is what I'm sayin', to you check it
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm Fear not of men because men must die Mind over matter and soul before flesh Angels for the pain keep a record in time
Which is passin' and runnin' like a caravan freighter The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked But God is sufficient in disposin' of affairs Gunmen and stockholders try to merit my fear
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared Mos Def in the flesh, where you at, right here On this place called Earth, holdin' down my square 'Bout to do it for y'all, and y'all at the fair
So just bounce, come on bounce B-b-bounce, b-bounce, b-bounce-bounce And just, just step two three Just step two three and
Step two, two three and One two three and four One two three and four Once again
All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm Fear not of men because men must die Mind over matter and soul before flesh Angels for the pain keep a record in time
which is passin' and runnin' like a caravan freighter The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked But God is sufficient in disposin' of affairs Gunmen and stockholders try to merit your fear
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared Mos Def in the flesh, where you at, right here On this place called Earth, holdin' down my square 'Bout to represent in your whole atmosphere
'Bout to represent in your whole atmosphere To your atmosphere, to your atmosphere Oh ooh That was for you and Brooklyn too
