Version 1 of the lyrics

To all my people in the back jam on it {Right}

To all my people in the front jam on it {ha ha, ha ha}

To all my people on the side jam on

it {he he, he he, right}

So jam on it, say what

[Mos Def]

The sweet old beats my speech radiates

I grab the mic my voice resonates and penetrates

I grab the mic my voice resulates and penetrates

I make the "B-Boy" emulate

A buck-fifty still swinging like a heavyweight

Me in the lounge about to levitate

Me and the lounge about to levitate

You don't believe let me demonstrate

The way we make cats disintegrate

[Voice]

Well hold up you got to stop the tape

You got to prove you can rock the bricks

Me and my man going to investigate

The whole way that you operate, cooperate

And what's your name? {Mos Def}

And where you from? {Brooklyn}

And how you living {Very well, very well}

Damn you had to say it twice? {That's right}

So you nice? {Damn right}

[Mos Def]

I rock the party all night all night

{All right, all right}

So why you over here ripping with me?

Trying to prove you position to me?

{Some cats ain't equiped to MC}

But you can see I'm different "G"

The universal magnificently

I rock the party eficiently

From the Brooklyn vi-ci-ni-t-y

From the Brooklyn but centered to (?)

And I do it so lyrically

That you got to give it to me

Like Rick James, I kick game and spit flame

Burning rappers all up out their frame

We get into this vein

From Brownsville all the way down to Brisbean

{Damn this brother's flow is insane}

That's what I've been trying to explain

Got no time to play games

Keep it coming like the next train

Make the party people exclaim

Whenever they hear my name

They go "Mos Def"

Oh yes my style is so fresh

Guranteed to win any MC contest

Old school like the eighty-four fresh dress

You spend you assets to get my cassette

Now that's fresh, the red hook address

Make a cop jealous swell like abscess

I'm shoutin' big love to Medina and the rest

I'm shoutin' bigs up to Medina and the rest

Bout' to drop it on your block like it's hot off the press

Bout' to drop it on your block a high on the press

[Chorus with singing in backround]

I said people in the front jam on

it {Say what, say what}

To all my people in the back jam on

it {Say what, say what}

To all my people on the side jam on it {Ha ha, ha ha}

Jam on it, Ha ha, ha ha

To all my people in the front jam on it

To all my people in the back jam on it

To all my people on the side jam on it

So jam on it, ha ha, ha ha

[Mos Def]

You see my name is Mos Def and my style will never pest

Brown skinned body-rocking MC

I got the black zodiac and you know it's never whack

Sagitarius definatley

You see it's me and lyricist and

we're getting serious about to make

another hit

So tell your homeboy chill cuz' his

I tell your homeboy chill cuz' his

style ain't ill and it's straight

style ain't ill but it's straight

up counterfeit

You see I'm faster than a speedin bullet

You see I'm fast or bent or sweet then

and when I'm on the set

bullet and when I'm on the set

All the hip-hop fans just raise

they hands because the one and only

mighty Mos Def

You see I come into the party in

a "B-Boy" stance I rock the mic

so viciously

So all the real "B-boys" and

real "B-Girls" know there's no others

real "B-Girls" never know others

better than me

[Voice]

I said hey Mos Def you can't steal the show

You ain't the only MC out here with flow

I'm the Pro-Cosmo and I'm letting you know

I'm the Pro-Castro and I'm letting you know

We finna get the mic and go toe to toe

That I get on the mic and go toe to toe

[Mos Def]

Well cool down young brother, just slow you role

Well cool young brother and just slow you role

Cuz' your arm's to short to have mic control

Cuz' your arm's to shook to have mic control

See I get on the mic and jump on your case

See I get on the mic and jump off your case

You best get out my face and stay in a child's place

[Voice]

See I get on the mic because I know I can

And I'm fresher than you because I know I am

So when I jump on the stage you better step back

Because your name is Mos Def but your really Mos Whack

[Mos Def]

Uh listen up little brother you ain't grown

The sun is going down you need to take you butt home

Ya come outside with your whack freestylin'

And come outside with your whack freestylin'

You should have kept it in the house like Debbie Galler

When I grab the microphone people scream my name

This ain't no sesame street this is a grown-man's lane

The ain't no sesame street this is a grown-man's lane

See you best heed my words and listen up

Or I'm a tell your momma to whip your butt

[Voice]

Well you ain't my daddy and I'm letting you know

That you can't tell me when it's time to go

See I get on the mic and show you what it's about

Cuz' even my momma said knock you out

[Mos Def]

Well if you didn't know baby boy I'm a tell ya'

You need to learn to respect your elders

But since you here and you think you got skill

Then get on the mic and show your real

[Voice]

Well I'm the devastatin' never fakin'

Always keep the party shakin'

Always keep your body shakin'

Steady rockin' never stoppin'

Keep the party people jockin'

Keep your body always jockin'

Rock the beat, shock the beat

Till' it's time to stop the beat

Steady movin', show improvin'

Steady moving show improvement

Keep the party people groovin'

Keep the party keep on groovin'

[Mos Def]

Well hey young blood that was fresh

You just got one hundred on your MC test

You got a soul-shocking body-rocking sound you see

You got a soul-shocking body-rocking set you see

You need to pack up your bags and get down with me

[Chorus with singing in backround]

So jam on it, so jam on it

I said jam j-jam j-jam on it

I said were rocking to the bright early morning

I said jam j-jam j-jam on it

This is the one to keep inside the jam

And make you get up and just do that dance

This is the one to keep inside the jam

And make you get up and just clap your hands

New York you got to jam on it

And Atlanta got to jam on it

And BK you got to jam on it

Got to jam on it, you got to jam on it

And Miami you got to jam on it

And California you got to jam on it

(?) got to jam on it

Got to jam on it, got to jam on it

Chicago got to jam on it

And Detroit cuz' they got to jam on it

And St. Louis got to jam on it

Got to jam on it, got to jam on it

The whole world you got to jam on it

And Brooklyn yes we got to jam on it

The "Lyricist" just to make you jam on it

Make you jam on it, make you jam on it

{And don't you hear the sound...}

{Mos Def and Lyricist Lounge...}
