I Against I Lyrics - Mos Def

I-ya 

I against I 

Flesh of my flesh 

And mind of my mind 

Two of a kind but one won't survive 

My images reflect in the enemies eye 

And his images reflect in mine the same time 

I-ya, I-ya 

I against I 

Flesh of my flesh 

And mind of my mind 

Two of a kind but one won't survive 

Right here is where the end gon' start at 

Conflict, contact 'n' combat 

Fighters stand where the land is marked at 

Settle the dispute about who the livest 

3 word answer 

Whoever survive this 

Only one of us can ride forever 

So you and I can't ride together 

Can't live or can't die together 

All we can do is collide together 

So I skillfully apply the pressure 

Won't stop until I'm forever... one! 

A door step where death never come 

Spread across time til my time never done 

And I'm never done 

Walk tall, why ever run? 

When they move if I ever come? 

Bad man never fret the war, tell'em come 

General we have the stock, the mad fire burn 

I-ya 

I against I 

Flesh of my flesh 

And mind of my mind 

Two of a kind but one won't survive 

My images reflect in the enemies eye 

And his images reflect in mine the same time 

I-ya, I-ya 

I against I 

Flesh of my flesh 

And mind of my mind 

Two of a kind but one won't survive 

Survive (x16) 

Reign supreme in your you-N-I 

V-E-are-S-E with the sharpness 

Narrow row building no space for partners 

No space for drivers, no space for walkers 

No space regardless 

Your on my path then get off it 

Hardheaded and unresponsive 

Get they lives put on target with harshness 

Come with the canons sparkin' they darken 

Who am I? one man squadron 

Ma stir the fire this time that'd snatch your tomorrow 

The thousand yard spear that'll pierce through your armor 

You can get it on right now if you want to 

But when ya front 9 get marched through 

I warned you 

You know who forever belong to
