Black & Blue Lyrics - Mos Def

[Mos Def] 

You don't like me huh? Well I like me 

I got somethin to say to you 

I see you standin on the side wit your smile and your crooked eyes 

Acting like a man but a chick frontin in disguise 

Open on some thicker thighs, smokin on a blunt of lies 

Tradin in a badge for a sash sayin sucker hi 

Lookin at her son now, probably make a mother cry 

Should of listened to that song tellin' you to "Walk on by" 

But you didn't now your washed up like a cup of tide 

Let me know I got the heat when you think it's time to dry 

[Mekhi Phifer] 

What you think you talkin 'bout mistake me for some other guy 

Need to buy a watch cause ain't no shorty gonna give the time 

Day or nights birthdays, Kwanzas or Valentines 

Big talk, really small but you ain't a friend of mines 

You ain't even genuwine sweeter than a Cinnabon 

[Mos Def] 

But wit five fingers and a fist I'm deadly as the Pentagon 

You don't want beef with MILLER cuz I'm ILLER 

[Mekhi Phifer] 

Or because you bout as criminal as killers 

[Mos Def] 

Whoa how, I see you slick with the words now 

Bad cause you got a chick with some curves now 

Calm your nerves down you was locked Carmen Brown 

Draws had hers down scored on the first down 

Yeah, so get your keys out your purse now 

Run to your car before you're laying in a hearse clown 

[Mekhi Phifer] 

How you sound yo you dirtier than Jers now 

Extortin all that money thought you'd have a couple furs now 

[Mos Def] 

Ha, watch ya speed I don't wanna play around 

You got your head in the clouds I'm bout to bring it to the ground 

It's somethin that you need to know 

[Mekhi Phifer] 

They got you on video? 

[Mos Def] 

Sike but your girl Carmen Brown is a silly hoe
