Yasiin Bey - If You Can Huh! You Can Hear lyrics

Hey, yo, man, i think that dude's tryin' to
Break into your car (What?)

New York life type trife
That's why I'm tryin' to shine the light, yo
Here it come, here it come, here it come
Y'all

Mos Def blessed with the breath of life
So arise and give praises
Turn my face to where the mighty sun raises
My book of rhyme pages filled
With phrases that amaze
I could go on for days
First name Dante, last name Beze
Build the house of tomorrow
With bricks of today
My foundation rests on Allah corner stone
Shine the light through the mic
To radiate your zone
See, the world that we know


Is about to get finished
I'm watchin' last days wind
Down to final minutes
Got dreams of paradise and my whole fam in it
So I ain't got time to
Play no crime lieutenant
Do you got time to play the crime lieutenant?
See, time is the asset
How you gonna spend it?
The way you handle yours
Will be well documented
It's the raw authentic, sandalwood scented
To make you bump the joint
And in beyond city limit's
Twenty-first no time to approach
A thing timid my name is Mos Def
And this is how I get in it

A yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' through the pipe
(What?) you heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
Throughout space and time (yeah)
You don't believe? Lend a ear
Yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' on your right (What?)
You heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
I hold the 'phone to shine (yeah)

If you can huh, you can hear it
If you can huh, you can hear it
We in your atmos'

Shine like black gold, burn like black coal
Make a old timer roll up
His sleeves now that's cold!
Behold, the one and only is blessed
My testimony approach the ceremony
Authentic, never phony
For delf, but never lonely
Keep the kinfolk close watch me rip it on
Pacific and Atlantic coasts
With the antidote for the poisonous snake
Lies wet on they lips put the hiss on tape
You can't get on straight
This is dead on tape
Accompanied by Shawn J with the bet on Bey
Put the grid on plate, on the hit on trey
"Hot damn!" Captain Kirk and the Klingons say
You can't sit on stage
You best to get on the
M-O T-IV-A T-E real life, ain't no freebie
My seed can't be needy
No time for freaky-deaky
I'm movin' on up like George and Wheezy
(Woah) who said that this was easy?
They must've been treetop high (Word)
Standin', gigglin' 'til our bold face die
We all got to die, right?
So all got to try to live life
Right in the sight of Most High
To live life right in the sight of Most High
To live life right in the sight of Most High
To live life right in the sight

A yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' through the pipe
(What?) you heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
Throughout space and time (yeah)
You don't believe? Lend a ear
Yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' on your right (What?)
You heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
I hold the 'phone to shine (yeah)

If you can huh, you can hear

A yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' through the pipe
(What?) you heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
The pure genuine (yeah)
You don't believe? Lend a ear
Yo, my man (Huh?)
Somethin' tight comin' on your right (What?)
You heard the first time
The rhyme is designed to incline
I hold the 'phone to shine (yeah)

If you can huh, you can hear it
If you can huh, you can hear it
We in your atmos'
