Am I insane, or is it some BDP song (Boogie Down Productions, feat. KRS-One)?

which one ?
the original sounds more reggae stuff as i heard it on a radio

"Remix For the P Is Free".

and 'Stop the Violence' as well as 'The P Is Free':

["One two three, this crew is called BDP/and if you want to go to the tip top/stop the violence in hip-hop, Y-O"]

you don't mean sampled, either, just copied. (sorry to be pedantic!)

i've downloaded these excellent tracks but it's not the song i'm looking for
i can't stand the wait :)

so you do actually mean a sample, not where the lyrics are from...
if i remember, 'Definition' doesn't really have much backing, just bass, programmed drums and a little guitar bit every now and then. 'Re:Definition' has a nice big strings sample i think, but no idea where that's from i'm afraid. or is there another version of the track around?

by the word "sample" i mean music sampled, like isaac hayes on portishead songs you know ?
The mos def thing is by a reggae artist but i can't find it at all
