Whoever posted these lyrics must be illterate, deaf or both. Here is the retard free version:
One thing I want to assure them,
If they think I'm going to change or compromise
My attitude and my way of life or
In my expression or in my goal towards politics.
They are making me stronger.
And I am much, more stronger now.
To the bang to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie the beat (x 2)
There it go like simple and plainness
Prominent basic, Zulu arrangement rocking amazement
Flaco, radiate from heaven to pavement
They phony as a face lift, I’m nothing to play with
Spent time hating it, but that ain't changing it
God gave it to me, nobody is taking it
Therefore, moving on the bass and stimulus
Standing in the twilight and watching them get it in
The walls is trembling, the air is simmering
She moving' like more than her ears are listening
Whoa now!
Testing your equilibrium.
Sonic wave booming all over your intimate
Skin on skin and skin on skin again
Put it all, get it all, get on, get it in
Ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses
cousins other anto- and synonyms
There it is, boogieman
Hah
Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Quiet dog, bite hard, my god!
So and the rocking don't stop
Brooklyn in the kitchen heat up the stovetop
Banging the empire state and navigating the way
Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop
The cool dudes swagger looking terribly corny
The flow so petty, unsteady, it’s boring
These dudes ain't through, but they yawning
They need to get off it
So whack whack is all you can call it
Therefore, moving on, and deaf to stimulus
Regardless what zone or what town you represent
A bullet to the audio settlement
Tower to tenement
I mold you from all of the elements
Now simmer down and manage your mayhem
I'm bright as the A.M.
And you're rock and roll out the station
And blessed with the fresh from day one
I got it today done
We all going back to the same one
This constant motivation I'll stay with
Remarkable flavors
That all bear the mark of the greatness
Whoa now!
The kid is from buck town
Your girl is in love now
You chumps gonna front and get shut down
Shut!
Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Simmer down now
Quiet dog, bite hard, let's rock
And you don't stop
So you rock to the rhythm you don't stop
So you maintain the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
You keep up the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
You keep up the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
Maintain the rock and you don't stop
(The rock)
You keep up the rock, Quiet dog bite hard, my god!
Not to start anything, but Femi Kuti does say: "In my expression or in my goal....What's politics?"

I didnt read the rest you wrote, but I suggest you get the crap out of your ears first before you call someone deaf, illiterate or both.
The lyrics posted are a bit wrong at times, but Mos Def is a tough cat to keep up with.

Thank you - someone finally got it right. Don't have any idea where the original poster got his/her interpretation. Some of the "words" aren't even real words, and much of the language doesn't follow any syntax of English. Mos Def is one of the most sophisticated and literate of all artists and certainly isn't going to make sounds that don't have any implied meaning! By the way, privatepyle is wrong as well; Femi Kuti most definitely says, " . . . towards politics." Read the entire quote.

Thanks for posting something much closer to the actual lyrics. I do think the comment above might apply to one spot, though--"they on it" as opposed to "they yawning". Makes more sense preceding "They need to get off it." Still, great job.

Also think it might be "Engine rock and roll out the station" rather than "And you...". Reference to a fire engine rolling out, with the play on words vis-a-vis rock and roll from a radio station.

Sorry, just heard one more as I listened to him to a freestyle of this on YouTube. Pretty sure he says "Bey in the Empire State, and navigating the way." Bey, of course, being himself (Yasiin Bey).
