Ghetto related with this hit the
whole world awaited
Y'all Dorito-head cats
that yak and stagnated
Black Thought The Doug E
Most war vete-ran
Crown ruler soul controller
of this lyrical land
Spliff wizard kid who is it
Fifth Dinosaur Ghetto
beat detonator
Apex my level NEXT
my complex pattern
of speech is like sex
I mastered the art of makin
you snap the necks
And Chase Manhattan
endorse my mic checks
Upset poet threat
Just collectin my debt
yo I'm overpaid in dues
blood tears and sweat
when you fuckin with The Roots
that's as good as it get
Ultramagnet
We pull you in a Drag net
then brainwash your click
and extort your assets
then roadie all your homies
on some old school shit
Roots crew represent
Life's a gamble
step up and place your bets
I drift through space
then make my escape
on through the 'net
With CD's cassettes
no C O D's or checks
Straight from the old school
aiyyo Raw's in full effect
I'm like Lex Luthor
with rifles filled with kryptonite
When you grip the mic it's like
c'mon kids let's say goodnight
You don't like me
But don't even know
why should you hate me
You scared to face these
so I still remain safely
confidin North Phil'
where I'm residin
Never let an outside
nigga slide in
This ain't home plate
I dunk on you once
inside the paint
Flow like this you cain't
take me you out you ain't
Nuttin new nuttin new
y'all not sayin nuttin new
Nuttin new nuttin new
y'all not sayin nuttin new
Nuttin new nuttin new
tell me what you could do
Yo we drop the funk
and do the shit
Yo head lost slip in this land
big framboix
Spittin it for like whoever
demand the answer
What's the cure
for this hip hop cancer Equivalent
to this avalanche
of black snow rap flow
to get my people thinkin mo'
we at the brink of war
What does it all mean
What's it all for
With knowledge of yourself
then you're through the first door
My people hungry and thirst
for more next music explore
It's heavenly to your ebony
daughter next door
So what you think The Roots
get the world respect for
The splendid authentic
hip hop that's raw core
Severe world premier
a superior sophomore
No doubt wherever you dwell
that's where the bomb fell
Explodin from the imperial
ensemble for real
From the venue to the avenue
We truly only got respect for a
few

Y'all clowns know what I meant

Then my henchmen
will be at your back door uhh
WAITIN wise at debatin
trippin over Legos
Runnin up the steps
and lookin for a weapon
But you come out wavin
a white flag that's why
I just backslap that ass
like Shaq did Ostertag
Either take me or be taken
you think I'm goin down
PSYCH the jury
they're still deliberatin
I got half of they kids
tied up in a basement
Nah I'm just playin yo
but that's how I'm playin doe
Dig what I'm sayin yo D I C E
