The Roots
앨범 : Rising Down

Look my squads half
mandrill half Mandela
my band bout seventy
strong just like fela
yeah part melly mel
part van halen
and we represent illadel
where they still rebellin
a yo sicko show
like mike moore's
my city aint nothing
like your's
slippin into darkness
like WAR nightcrawl
with the lights off you
see a lot of life loss
for the white horse
regardless the charges
makin us all targets
all on the red carpet guns
from the black market
ay who got the polititians
in they back pocket
pimp slap pump that
gimmie that profit
when you make contact
gimmie that gossip
if you break contract
youll be that hostage
they getting busy
in the city its raw
better deadbolt the door
it aint safe no more
Southside get busy ya'll
Northside get busy ya'll
Westside get busy ya'll
Worldwide get busy ya'll
Approach with caution
be cautious
when talking to bosses
I feel I've been through
a metamorphis
I'm mutated by unknown forces
the feelin of course is something
thats hard to describe
I'm half dead never
felt more alive
reborn removed
the gold coins from my eyes
I've been down
but now im back up
bout to act up boy
you better back up
when you see me set
up shop know to pack up
I crack up when a rapper
gets slapped up
number one reson ya'll
should give rap up
Dice its mine I got it
all wrapped up
I'm kindda W E B
Dubois meets Heavy D
and the boys smooth as
a Rolls Royce built
like a tank smoking on gank
I'm walking through
the Guggenheim Raw Life Black Ink
Southside get busy ya'll
Northside get busy ya'll
Westside get busy ya'll
Worldwide get busy ya'll
Now on your mark get set
go cop everything you ever heard
by PCrack Dice Raw and Black
fk the internet buy
a baseball bat break a bootlegger
leg all I listen to is
vets your fresh of the step
I come directly at your OG neck
I'm used to the one two
check not the one two step
um strapped I'll leave
every cat among you wet
now lets GO you know
im politically incorrect
at the show I start
it with a can
I get a ho and the
hoes go retarded
the popo tape off
the stage for caution
its badlands north
philly get it in
its crack man used
to backspin now
I spend stacks in
sacks and uncle sam
tryin to tax all
my hard earned raps damn
we makin yin pesos
euros we representin
Southside get busy ya'll
Northside get busy ya'll
Westside get busy ya'll
Worldwide get busy ya'll
