  General Comment:I'm pretty much positive that he say's "These dude's ain't dope but they on it, they need to get off it" instead of "These dude's ain't through but they're yawning" Go back and listen for it and you'll see what I'm saying

  General Comment: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.

  Lyric Correction:Some of these lines aren't even close to being right.

  General Comment:This is the correct lyric:
  Quiet dog, bite hard, my god!
  
  Not:
  Quiet dog, wild hog, my god
  
  Besides its apparency from listening to the song, it's all the title: "Quiet Dog (Bite Hard)".

  General Comment:here is a correction: "Flaco, radiating from heaven to pavement". Flaco means Slim in spanish, he also refer to himself this way in the song "No Hay Nada Más"
