[Intro: Mums] Peep the math Mau Mau be about land and freedom Reparation and apologies, for Africa to America odysseys Guerilla-type tactics on them socialistic fallacies It be about, the devastations of the social darwinistic thought Keep a brown man down sport They wantin' to keep our end of fetch and step The way Franz Fanon put it, you lucky I ain't read *Wretched* yet [Verse 1: Mos Def] Yo, you fucked up in the game now It's Big Black, Mr. Chairman of the Mau Mau I hear the world in all black surround sound Barricaded so you can't move around now Doing this from a clan that ain't around now Buried six feet deep beneath the ground now My loud sound, pound down, make the earth crush in, and bow down There's faultlines in the ground now, shake 'em down Verse 2: [Charli Baltimore] Black Chevy, Mau Maus, gats ready Blaow, blaow, black deadly, femme fatale Underground, rats in this rat race And black race cats sell out to the blackface And rag grin, laugh not my light skin Be S-M-O-O-T-H, from PH, uhh Backseat strappin' in Cause I'm the only bitch with Big Black and them [Chorus: Mos Def] Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, gun ready Bout to attack the track, when black is black Well how black? Black heart, black mind, black soul Mau Mau (Hootie hoo), We was born to roll Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, aim fire Bout to attack the track, when black is black How black? Black womb 'til we reach the black hearse What's black? Shade of the universe [Verse 3: Canibus] Yo, yo, yo When Mo Black start to black out, bitches pass out Stick my black dick in they mouth, and dig they back out Black monk like Thesalonius, the government got a black phobia That's why they tap my black Nokia Black fathers, black mothers, black brothers Handcuffed to each other, going upstate in black buses Black thugs, wrap drugs in backwoods Smoke 'til they got black tongues, black lips, and black lungs Black is black, wack MCs get smacked Forced to go home and dial 1-800-I-Can't-Rap [1/16th Black - MC Serch] Aiyyo who that? Yo right there; blue eyes, and black hair Kill 'em with a rhyme, or the bottom of my Nike Airs So quick son pick one, you don't want me to finish Or I'll quickly take you to 1950 and do you like the British Head on a spear, contusions ear to ear For Africa Maxima, I'mma drive you out of here Mr. 1/16th, born to kill your self esteem Born from part devil, part cracker from Queens Knowledge that we drop, you don't even build with That's like me winnin' a rap Grammy, givin' it to Liz Smith [Chorus: Mos Def] Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, gun ready Bout to attack the track, when black is black Well how black? Black heart, black mind, black soul Mau Mau (Hootie hoo), We was born to roll Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, aim fire Bout to attack the track, when black is black How black? Black womb 'til we reach the black hearse What's black? Shade of the universe [Jo Black - DJ Scratch] Yo, yo Everything black is wack and shit Blackheads, blackmail, black cats and shit Funerals, niggas gotta wear black and shit Black cars, black clothes on they backs and shit Blackballed, if we don't kiss they ass and shit Blacklisted see ya nigga, and you're gone that's it White bitches, they wanna be black and shit Tan lotion on they white flat ass and shit [Double Black - Gano Grills] Aiyyo all the Mau Maus gather up and let's attack Because they're tryin to fuck with our images And I think that shit is crazy wack And as a matter of fact, they want us niggas To smile and laugh - I guess they never seen a bloodbath Brothers and sisters are dyin, babies are bein taken out So what the fuck they want me to rap about? About how happy I am, to be livin in the slum Where little shorties walk around totin big guns [Chorus: Mos Def] Who the crew? M-A-U, M-A-U, gun ready Bout to attack the track, when black is black Well how black? Black heart, black mind, black soul Mau Mau (Hootie hoo), We was born to roll Who the crew?
