Medina Green, DCQ, Yasiin Bey - Crosstown Beef lyrics

Mos Def:








DCQ: 4 AM laid up at the rest
Got a call made my heart jump out my chest
My man's got beef at the dance
Exit's is blocked
Enemies outside with they heat pon cock
He said that if he goes outside
He knows he gon' get clapped
(My man from way back)
Ain't going out like that
He got peoples in the club
And his ties is strong
But he know that they can only
Hold it down for so long
So now he's trapped off and
He's calling on me
To come and represent like I'm GOD
Of course I must agree, cuz this is family
If tables was turned he would do it for me
So now I'm hopping out my bed
Ready put a nigga never seen 'pon dead
Guess a black man can't have no peace
Pull out my heat
Woke up out my sleep over crosstown beef
Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic
(DCQ) thick! Brothers be on some real shit
Everyman get scared when
Prepared for confrontation
"When the slugs penetrate you
Feel a burning sensation"
Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic
(DCQ) thick! Brothers be on some real shit
Everyman get scared when
Prepared for confrontation
"Getting closer to God, in a tight situation"

Mos Def: Yo check it
It was a Friday in the month of may
Around the time when everybody put
They game on play
See my girl was out of T so it was all on me
I figured I would hit the metro on the mad LD
Now everybody know what the
Spring time is about
Players polish up they game cause
The shorties be out
I was rocking jew-els and my wears was crisp
My man said there was a jam
That I should not miss
I hopped in the livery without
A moment to spare and when I rolled up on
The function everybody was there
I was catching sexy stares from
The shams in the rear
Saw my peers and heads I
Haven't seen in years
Now I was getting caught up
In the nightlife mix then I see my main man
From my old time clique
"Oh shit, not my nigga Mos Def in the house"
"Oh shit baby paw
I ain't know you came home"
We talked about that and this
And way back since when I seen a caravan
Sporting wild dark tints
Had it's window half cracked
And was cruising slow
And was circling the block
Like they was po-po
Said I was jibbing with my man
So I paid it no mind
That's when the shots rang out
From the passenger side
It was a forty-five bark that
Made us all duck down
Girls was letting out screams as
Shells hit the ground
I was looking for my man
So we both could split
That's when he turned to me and
Said "yo Mos I'm hit"
I guess the street life don't
Leave a nigga alone
Laced up at the party and he just came home
If he survive I know he goin' retaliate
If he don't
They bought theyself a burial plate
Either way situation status on code red
I'm on the horn to tell the
Fam it's on like ConEd

This shit ain't bout nothing son


There's mad shit that she want and
Mad shit that she need








DCQ: Verdict guilty, left hand on the scene
You might be locked down but
You're part of the team
If you say he gotta go
Then that's what he gotta do
Ain't nothing sweet son
Yo you know I'm here for you

Lord Ato: No doubt
Come check me on the day of knowledge born
Cause this phone shit ain't real
Yeah that tap shit be on
Plus the God wanna see you
So pull his name too
Cause he soon come home son
You know how he do

DCQ:
Yeah the God get down so I see you on the V-I
I'm a do my best to get this
Broad to bring you some Lah
Peace to the Gods, read your math
Hold your head and as far as that kid goes
Remember what I said- Peace
