Quiet Dog - Mos Def

One thing I want to assure them

If they think I’m going to change,

and compromise my attitude, my way of life.

in my expression.

or in my…

goal- What’s politics?

They are making me stronger… and I’m much more

stronger now

To the bang to the boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie to

be… to the rhythm of the boogie to be

Their it go like simple and plain with prominent basic/ zulu arrangement,

rockin amazement/ flocko/ radio from heaven to pavement/ phony is the face but

nothing to play with/ spent time hating it, but that ain’t changin it/ God gave

it to me, nobody is takin it/ therefore, move it on the bass for stimulus/

standing in the twilight, I’m watching them get it in/ the walls are tremblin/

the air is simmerin/ she’s moving like more than the ears is listenin/ WHOA NOW!

/ testin your equilibrium/ soundwave boomin all over your inniment (?

)/ skin on skin and skin on skin again/ put it all get it all/ get on,

get it in/ ladies and gentlemen, mistas and misses’s/ cousins and other

anto-and-synonyms/ there it is/ Boogie Man…

ha (stay cool) uh simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now (stay cool) simmer

down now, simmer down, Quiet Dog, bite hard, my God!

(Bang!)

So and uh rock it, don’t stop/ Brooklyn and the kids, heat up your stove top/

bang the empire/ stang the navigatin away/ bring your preservation made the

greatest hip-hop!/ the cool-dude swagger look terribly corny/ they flow so

petty, unsteady, it’s boring/ these dudes ain’t throwin, they yawnin/ they need

to get off it/ so «wack rap"is all you can call it/ therefore move it on to Def

for stimulus/ regardless what’s on it, what town you represent/ a bullet to

your audio settlement (?)/ a tower for tenement/ I’m molded from all of the

elements/ a simmer down and manage the mayhem/ I’m bright as the a.m.

/ engine like I roll out the station/ and blessed with the fresh since day one/

I got it today dun/ we all going back to the same one/ this constant motivation

I stay with/ remarkable flavored/ they all better market the greatness (?

)/ WHOA NOW!/ The Kid is from Bucktown/ your girl is in love now/ your chumps

gon front they get shut down!/ shhhuhhh!

(Oh my gosh) Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now (the music just turns me

on) simmer down now, simmer down now, simmer down, Quiet Dog, bite hard,

let’s rock!

and you don’t stop/ I say we rock to the rhythm you don’t stop/ I say you

maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ you keep up the rock and your

don’t stop the rock/ maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ you keep

up the rock and your don’t stop the rock/ maintain the rock and your don’t stop

the rock/ you keep up the rock
