[Intro: Fela Kuti]
One thing I want to $$#ure them
If they think I'm gonna change or compromise

My attitude and my way of life or
In my expression or in my goal
Towards politics

They are making me stronger
And I am much more stronger now?


[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]
Bang to the boogy
Say upchuck the boogy

To the rhythm of the boogity beat
To the rhythm of the boogity beat
There it go like simple the plainness, its primal and basic

Zulu arrangement rockin' amazement
Flaco, radiating from heaven to pavement
If only years of placement with nothing to play with

Spent time hating but that ain't changing it
God give it to me no body ain't takin' it
Therefore, moving on the base is limitless

Standing in the twilight and watching them get it in
Walls, tremblin', the air, simmering
She movin' like more than her ears are listenin?, woah now

Testin' your equilibrium
Sounding fate booming all over your eminence
Skin on skin and skin on skin again

Put it all, get it all,get on get it in
Ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses
?or entrants and simil men, there it is, boogieman

Simmer down simmer down simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now

Simmer down now
Quiet dog, bite hard my god
Said and the rocket don't stop

Brooklyn in the kitchen heat up the stovetop
Banging the empire state and navigating the way
Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop

The cool dudes swagger they terribly corny
The flow so petty,unsteady, it's boring
These dudes ain't dope but they on it

They need to get off it, so ?wack wack? is all you can call it
Therefore, movin on to Def for stimulus
Regardless of what town your representin

A bullet in the audience settlement
Tower to tenement
I mold through for all of the element

Simmer down
I manage your mayhem
I'm bright as the AM

And you're rocking more like a station
I'm blessed with the fresh from day one
I got it from day done

We all going back to the same one
It's the cost of motivation I'll stay with
Remarkable flavors

That all bear the mark of the greatness
Woah now
Is to get us to buck town

Your girl is in love now
You thought it so funny
Shorty is down, Shoo

Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now

Simmer down now
Quiet dog, wild hog let's rock


[Outro]
Hah ? and we don't stop
See you rock to the rhythm we don't stop

So you maintain the rock and you don't stop
You keep up the rock and you don't stop (The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop (The rock)

You keep up the rock and you don't stop (The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop (The rock)
