Thieves in the Night

[M.D.] Not strong

[T.K.] Only aggressive

[M.D.] Not free

[T.K.] We only licensed

[M.D.] Not compassionate, only polite

[T.K.] Now who the nicest?

[M.D.] Not good but well behaved

[T.K.] Chasin' after death

[M.D.] Still livin' like mental slaves

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[Mos Def]

[Talib Kweli]

[M.D.] Not strong

[M.D.] Not free

[T.K.] We only licensed

[M.D.] Not compassionate, only polite

[T.K.] Now who the nicest?

[M.D.] Not good but well behaved

[T.K.] Chasin' after death

[M.D.] Still livin' like mental slaves

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[both] Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

[Mos Def (singing)]
