Yasiin Bey
From Mos Def’s fourth studio album, The Ecstatic.
Mos lists his top priorities.
- Being at peace
- Knowing God
- Being filled and filling the world with love
- Always keeping it real
- The importance of having a home
[Intro]
Bey!
Top priority
[Hook 1]
Peace before everything, God before anything
Love before anything, real before everything
Home before anyplace, truth before anything
Style and stay radiate, love power slay the hate
[Verse]
Truth killer flaky face, Bey'll say it to they face
Ain't afraid to major straight, grace set the table straight
Flow greatest like the greatest lakes
Capes on great estates, quiet water major waves
Steer the course, make a way
And come ashore on a greater day
Home grown from the greatest grain
Full flavor in the native strain, now put that on your brainy brain
Full exposure to faith and slang
Minimum wage and major gains
Yasiin Dante to Bey
From day to night to day to day they came to play
We came to stay, get out the way
Be-otch sunspot hot heat rocks
Brooklyn finest, preservation of beat-box!
Friend or foe, poison or detox
When we rock the people I respond: priority
[Hook 2]
Peace before anything, God before everything
Love before anything, real before everything
Home before anyplace, shoot before anything
Style and state radiate, love power slay the hate
[Outro]
Priority!
Love powers...
