Ghetto Rock Lyrics

[Intro: Mos Def]
Hello Children

[Hook 1: Mos Def]
Black Jack Johnson N.Y.C., R-O-C-K-I-N-G
Sun and the moon, earths, stars, and planets
Before song done y'all goin' all understand it

[Verse 1: Mos Def]
Like - Hot
The haters can't fuck with it
Cause they mom and they sister and girl in love with
It (and they niggas)
Sound man holla black COME WITH IT
Sping the record 'till the record done spinning
Up top is you getting up with it?
Dirty dirty is you getting cronk with it?
Smokey smoke from coast to coast
Be carefull our first draw be that overdose
Who stay holding it from Brooklyn? YOU KNOW IS MOS!
Ha, Jackpot I (Sing yo) got to go for broke
Is this the only way the Smith Family know to go
Right here to my youngest one is older folks (Love me!)
Im'ma put down like a dirty so and so
Freak daddy came here to work the mojo - oh
Because the - high is high and the low is low
And that goes for the sinner man to holy folks
Put your shit in the sky like I know you - oh
[Brooklyn stand up!]
Ha, my ghetto nation get toe to toe
Stay rocking steady steady cause I told you so
And after y'all get it go I let it go some more
That Black Jack about something for sure for sure
[SAY WHAT!]
For sure for sure [HA!]
Let me see you in the world making your shoulder roll (Going home)
And if it get good tell your nigga throw your 'bows

[Hook 1: Mos Def]
Black Jack Johnson N.Y.C., R-O-C-K-I-N-G
Sun and the moon, earths, stars, and planets
Before song done y'all goin' all understand it
Black Jack Johnson N.Y.C., R-O-C-K-I-N-G
Sun and the moon, earths, stars, and planets
Before song done y'all goin' all understand it

Bouncer: Y'all can't come in here
Yasiin Bey as Chuck Berry: Uh, I'm Chuck Berry
Bouncer: Says he's Chuck Berry

You don't believe that, believe what you wanna

Bouncer: Chuck Berry's a country western singer
YB: Is he? You know who else he is? He's me!

[Chuck Berry]
So I hitch hiked to Chicago
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
I sat and listened to him sing
Until the early hours of day
I asked him what I could do to make it
And it was he who showed me the way

[Verse 2: Mos Def]
Ha, I am a fighter and a lover
I'm the freaky baby daddy, I'm a bad mother*** (Home!)
I'm the earth, wind, fire, and the thunder
I said I am, go ask my mother
You don't believe that shit believe what you want to
Alright, OK, So, Shut-up!
Speak language come straight from the gutter
Observe the terms that we trade with one and other
Like - what's good, what's popping, what's cracking
What it is, how you living, what's happening
Work songs that the slaves sang back then
The playground chants, with little girls clapping

[Hook]

[Chuck Berry]
And made a record I could claim
The little tune jumped on the charts
And rode me right on up to fame
It netted over ten thousand dollars
And added glory to my name

[Marvin Gaye]
Ching chingaling ching chingaling
Going home!

[Yasiin Bey]
Gimme the space!

[Commentator:]
Now Johnson
Lefts, rights, hooks, uppercuts!
Shut off the cameras and stop the fight!

[Marvin Gaye speaking:]
I spent my whole life fighting
(this is the story of a champion)
First my family, then my record company
(He swung blows that'll split ya melon)
The hardest fight has been with my own demons
(He did his thing and was the king of the ring)
That made me who I am
(This is the story of a champion
He swung blows that'll split ya melon
He did his thing and was the king of the ring)

My next fight's gonna be my wife
15 round elimination bout for all the property
