Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) - Quiet Dog Bite Hard (Preservation Remix) Lyrics

Quiet Dog Bite Hard (Preservation Remix) Lyrics by Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)


[Intro: Fela Kuti]
One thing I want to assure 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)
