[Sample: Cannonball Adderley, live on stage]
We feel that we have a responsibility to... shine the light... into the darkness You know, there's a lot of darkness out here
We watch it all the time
I'm busy, lookin' at the darkness, sayin'
"Damn, there's some darkness over there!"
Whatever – and we have a responsibility to focus on it
You know, ya'll be cool
We know that we know how to make some music
And that music ain't supposed to stand still...

[Talib Kweli]
It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli
(Black Star... to guide me... Black Star... Black Star)
It's like that, Mos Def and Kweli
(Black Star)

[Mos Def]
We- we- we know where the real life documentarians are
Who?
Of course the mighty Mos Def is a real life documentarian
Talib Kweli... real life documentarian

[Outro: Cannonball Adderley sample, continued]
Anyhow, the statements that they make
Will determine what everybody else plays very shortly
Ya dig?
And that's the way it goes
So here we go!
