"On The Run" lyrics

"On The Run"
(feat. Yasiin Bey, M.O.P.)

[Mos Def (Lenny Kravitz):]
Fire!
(Always on the run)
Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson
Call the fire chief to inspect the arson
Y'all got problems. Brooklyn is in the building
We built the building

[Mos Def:]
Easy to touch, but it's hard to hold
Easy to meet, but it's hard to know
Paste this one across ya domes and spread it out all across the globe
Heat it up and keep 'em on their toes
I'm like the diamond in the mine. I was born to glow
Drop hard on or off the roll
Freak daddy stroke long and slow. I break 'em down, type strong, and blow
Heading right back to B-R-O-O-K-L-Y-N, home of wild pirates
Streets without mercy, nights without silence
Me without skill is like gods without science
Jake without sirens, life without dying
I'm hot without trying. Ya heard it. So, now buy it
Joint come on. You start whining

[Mos Def (Lenny Kravitz) {M.O.P.}:]
(Always on the run)
Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson {It's the M.O.P.. We gotta!}
(Always on the run)
Brooklyn is in the building. You got problems
{My family will have you always on the run}
Whole world from the native to the foreign. I'm up on it
(Always on the run)

[Lil Fame:]
I'm one-hundred percent nigga. First fam'. The army that's behind me
Will fuck up a whole city like Rudy Giuliani. You plastic
You don't wanna go at it. So (stop)
You ain't ready for the aftermath. The matics are (pop)
I wandering with Y-H from the tri-state. Ya violate
I just need to go [?] prostate
It's the M-O-P
And we on the run for real. From the left to the ten

[Billy Danze:]
I been hearing you holler (gangster) for fifteen years now
But where you went when the shit went down?
Come on now (Bang you things!)
We rugged rap singing
Rob niggas for prattling and keep their rings
Tell your man, Bill did it. He, he reeled with it, killed with it
Little pissed off homie. Take the loss, deal with it
While y'all get it going, we'll get it done
A million and one. My family will have you faggots on the run

[Mos Def (Lenny Kravitz) {M.O.P.}:]
(Always on the run)
Streets respond to Mos and Mark Ronson {It's the M.O.P.. We gotta!}
(Always on the run)
Brooklyn is in the building. You got problems
{My family will have you always on the run}
Whole world from the native to the foreign. I'm up on it
(Always on the run)

Yo. Rhymes for real, for real. M-R-M-D {it's the M.O.P., my nigga!}
You know what I'm saying

I wanna fly in the sky, let my lyric carry me
I'm gonna fly, fly, fly, fly

We have 'em
(Always on the run)
Come on
