Champion Requiem (Album Version|Edited) - Mos Def
Bismillah ir Rhman ir Raheem
Peace peace what's up y'all
This is Mos Def
And this is a message to the people
If you see or hear goodness from me
Then that goodness is from
The Creator
You should be thankful to
The Creator for all of that
'Cause I'm not the architect of that
I'm only the the recipient
If you see weakness or
Shortcoming in me
It's from my own weakness
Or shortcoming
And I ask The Creator and the
People to forgive me for that
Thank you Brooklyn Thank you World
Yeah yeah there it is
Turn my voice up in the top a little bit
It feel good to be back
What's up ochenta
Yeah yeah ha
It's the Black Dante
In your headphones
Speakerbox (freaky radio) freaky radio
(Everywhere on the dial) tell
You a little bit about me
For my hometown break down
A little history for you
Myrtle and Broadway Roosvelt projects
Mossie projects
Listen
I stepped on the field from no
League just home team
I Jumped out the stands
And I snatched the rock
With the final seconds
One to land on the clock
Mos post up to throw up the
Tie-breakin shot
I put it through the net and let the
World's jaw drop
Then fled the arena before
They called cops
Tell the players and the coach
I wasn't tryin' to blow spot
But the way they was ballin'
Made it difficult to watch
I was taught when there's something'
You can change around
Keep quiet you got nothing' to
Complain about
You got work to do I don't know
If that work for you
But that's how Mos work it through
And my work is personal
I'm a workin' person
I put in work I work with purpose
I get it there on the water
Air the surface
You feel the impact
Niggaz yeah it's workin'
Listen God did not make
Me a fearful person
The only fear I have Is my
Failure to adhear his path
I would love it just to hear this back
On the ghetto streets where y'all at
On the ave's where the Jeep's go past
In the coupes where the seats go back
In the parties where it be so packed
And the atmosphere be so black
And them black thinggs be so phat
If I could I would be so glad
But if not I won't be so mad
I'm still being a man still feeding my fam'
And even if you don't see it my fam
I believe that I am truly gifted
Truly blessed
I'm yours truly Brooklyn's own
Mos Def
I'm rockin the hard right ground
Zero to far left
I'm well balanced with immense talents
Burn the script then flip it to
Keep myself challanged
And that's the mark of a true champ-ine
That's whether I'm in or outside the ring
No fights no tilte no crown or reign
Feel my presence even when
I'm up out this thingg
Just trust that's what I'm about to be
But until then settle in and rock with me
Ha that's what its about to be
Ghetto people look alive with me
And say We 'gon stop by
Then we just keep movin on
Ghetto people look alive and
Feel free we just keep movin on
For Alliah Left Eye Jam Master Jay
All the great hero's who have passed away
Scott Laraque Big & Pac
Feaky Tai Big L
All the soldiers locked down in the cell
Lock up the flesh
But the spirit will prevail
To our loved ones and deceased
Dyin''' in the street or quiet in their sleep
(B I G )
Rest in peace your livin in the mansions
Of our memory Sans Marie
Rest in peace your livin in the
Mansions of our memory
And that's real
'Cause everything in life 'gon
Come to an end
Because it must and when it does
I hope that y'all remember me
With true respect
And ghetto love
Now raise it up
'Cause everything in life 'gon
Come to an end
Because it must and when it does
I hope that y'all remember me
Black Dante from Myrtle and Broadway
Yeah yeah y'all
Let me hear it back
Freaky radio (freaky radio) ha
Freaky radio (freaky radio)
Everywhere on the dial
