This is back in 99. I like the diversity instead of it just being east coast. Midwest and east coast together are basically lyrically unstoppable

    These are the kind of joints that made soundbombing so cool. Unique collabs-the brand nubian/menelik one, kweli/bahamadia, common/saddat x. I guess mos def and this dude actually were a group called medina green, thats why mos says it in the beginning, but it was short lived/never came out.

    (Keep keep keep) Mercenary from the De La
    (Keep rising to the top) Lace the beats up tight, yo tell 'em dee
    Four a.m laid up at the res
    Got a call made my heart jump out my chest
    My man's got beef at the dance, exits is blocked
    Enemies outside with they heat on cop
    He's says that if he goes outside
    He knows he gone get clapped
    My man from way back
    Ain't going out like that
    He got peoples in the club and his ties is strong
    But he know that they can only hold it down for so long
    So now hes trapped off and he's calling on me
    To come and represent like I'm G.O.D
    Ofcourse I must agree, cuz this is family
    If tables was turned he would do it for me
    So now I'm hopping out my bed
    Ready put a nigga never seen 'pon dead
    Guess a black man can't have no peace
    Pull out my heat
    Woke up out my sleep over crosstown
    Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic, thick
    Brothers be on some real shit
    Everyman get scared and prepare for confrontation
    When the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
    Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic, thick
    Brothers be on some real shit
    Everyman get scared when prepared for confrontation
    Getting closer to God, in a tight situation
    Yo check it
    It was a friday in the month of may
    Around the time when everybody put they game on play
    See my girl was out in deesa it was all on me
    I figured I would hit the metro on the mad L.D
    Now everybody know what the spring time is about
    Players polish up they game cause the shorties be out
    I was rocking jew-els and my wears was crisp
    My man said there was a jam that I shuould not miss
    I hopped in the livery? without a moment to spare
    And when I rolled up on the function everybody was there
    I was catching sexy stares from the shams in the rear
    Saw my peers and heads I haven't seen in years
    Now I was getting caught up in the nightlife mix
    Then I see my main man from my old time clique
    Oh shit, not my nigga Mos Def in the house
    Oh shit baby-paw, I ain't know you came home
    We talked about that and this and way back since
    When I seen a caravan sporting wild dark tints
    Had it's window half cracked and they was crusing slow
    And was circling the block like they was po-po
    Said I was jibbing with my man so I paid it no mind
    That's when the shots rang out from the passenger side
    It was a forty-five bark that made us all duck down
    Girls was letting out screams as shells hit the ground
    I was looking for my man so we both could split
    That's when he turned to me and said yo Mos I'm hit
    I guess the street life don't leave a nigga alone
    Laced up at the party and he just came home
    If he survive I know he goin' retaliate
    If he don't, they bought theyself a burial plate
    Either way situation status on code red
    I'm on the horn to tell the fam its on like Con Ed
    Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic, thick
    Brothers be on some real shit
    Everyman get scared and prepare for confrontation
    When the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
    Crosstown beef be like crosstown traffic, thick
    Hey
    Who dis? The God 2
    (Yo whattup son?) Nothing much, maintaining you?
    (Right) I just came out the bing and shit is mad real
    This shit ain't bout nothing son (Son I know how you feel)
    My girl is in the world trying to raise my seed
    There's mad shit that she want and mad shit that she need (true dat)
    Plus she got some nigga, knocking at her door (Who dis?)
    Some crab-ass cat that she messed with before (From where?)
    Always acting wild disrespecting my G, (Stop playing)
    I think he gotta go, what's the verdict DC
    Verdict guilty, left hand on the scene
    You might be locked down but you're part of the team
    If you say gotta go, then that's what he gotta do
    Ain't nothing sweet son, yo you know I'm here for you
    No doubt, come check me on the day of knowledge born
    Cause this phone shit ain't real, yeah that tap shit be on
    Plus the God wanna see you so pull his name too
    Cause he soon come home son, you know how he do
    Yeah the God get down so I see you on the V-I
    I'm a do my best to get this broad to bring you some lye
    Peace to the Gods, read your math, hold your head
    And as far as that kid goes, remember what I said.
