Yasiin Bey - Jam On It 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

The sweet old beats my speech radiates
I grab the mic my
Voice resulates and penetrates
I make the "B-Boy" emulate
A buck-fifty still swinging
Like a heavyweight
Me and the lounge about to levitate
You don't believe let me demonstrate
The way we make cats disintegrate

Well hold up you got to stop the tape
You got to prove you can rock the breaks
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

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 Vicinit-y
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 Brisbane
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
Bout' to drop it on your block
When I'm hot on the press

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

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
I tell your homeboy chill cuz' his style
Ain't ill but it's straight up counterfeit
You see I'm faster than a speeding 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"
Never know others better than me

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-Castro and I'm letting you know
That I get on the mic and go toe to toe

Well cool young brother and
Just slow you role
Cuz' your arm's to shook to have mic control
See I get on the mic and jump off your case
You best get out my face and
Stay in a child's place

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

Uh listen up little brother you ain't grown
The sun is going down you need
To take you butt home
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
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

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

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

Well I'm the devastatin' never fakin'
Always keep your body shakin'
Steady rockin' never stoppin'
Keep your body always jockin'
Rock the beat, shock the beat
Till' it's time to stop the beat
Steady moving show improvement
Keep the party keep on groovin'

Well hey young blood that was fresh
You just got one hundred on your MC test
You got a soul-shocking body-rocking
Set you see you need to pack up your bags
And get down with me

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
