MOS DEF - Black & Blue lyrics

(feat. Mekhi Phifer)

[Mos Def]

You don't like me huh? Well I like me

I got somethin to say to you

I see you standin on the side wit your smile and your crooked eyes

Acting like a man but a chick frontin in disguise

Open on some thicker thighs, smokin on a blunt of lies

Tradin in a badge for a sash sayin sucker hi

Lookin at her son now, probably make a mother cry

Should of listened to that song tellin' you to "Walk on by"

But you didn't now your washed up like a cup of tide

Let me know I got the heat when you think it's time to dry

[Mekhi Phifer]

What you think you talkin 'bout mistake me for some other guy

Need to buy a watch cause ain't no shorty gonna give the time

Day or nights birthdays, Kwanzas or Valentines

Big talk, really small but you ain't a friend of mines

You ain't even genuwine sweeter than a Cinnabon

[Mos Def]

But wit five fingers and a fist I'm deadly as the Pentagon

You don't want beef with MILLER cuz I'm ILLER

[Mekhi Phifer]

Or because you bout as criminal as killers

[Mos Def]

Whoa how, I see you slick with the words now

Bad cause you got a chick with some curves now

Calm your nerves down you was locked Carmen Brown

Draws had hers down scored on the first down

Yeah, so get your keys out your purse now

Run to your car before you're laying in a hearse clown

[Mekhi Phifer]

How you sound yo you dirtier than Jers now

Extortin all that money thought you'd have a couple furs now

[Mos Def]

Ha, watch ya speed I don't wanna play around

You got your head in the clouds I'm bout to bring it to the ground

It's somethin that you need to know

[Mekhi Phifer]

They got you on video?

[Mos Def]

Sike but your girl Carmen Brown is a silly hoe
