BOOM! - The Roots[00:00:00]
Hold your flix I'm not for the photo op's[00:00:09]
It's Black code name Yaphet Kotto ock[00:00:11]
My twist like a ratchet in an auto shop[00:00:13]
Since granddaddy old Desoto stopped[00:00:15]
And he got the Caddie[00:00:17]
I been gladly servin [00:00:19]
Any y'all cats wanna act determined[00:00:19]
Spit pesticides for rats and vermin[00:00:21]
Seem like none of y'all chumps is learning[00:00:23]
Y'all hopeless and I'm a little better than d**e is[00:00:25]
Far from a brand new kid to show biz[00:00:27]
Tryna hold on maintain my focus[00:00:30]
Coming out a room with a could of smoke[00:00:31]
Smokers rolling with the punches[00:00:33]
I survive and rock[00:00:34]
Cause I keep the crowd alive[00:00:35]
And the texture of my voice[00:00:37]
Is course and kind of hoarse and cut[00:00:38]
Like I'm throwing a thousand knives[00:00:40]
Party people gather round what[00:00:41]
We have here is a brand new sound[00:00:42]
Reach for my waist you hit the ground[00:00:45]
You better duck when that awful sound goes[00:00:47]
Boom[00:00:49]
Thats what's happenin in the parking lot[00:00:52]
Thats what's happenin on stage[00:00:55]
The man at hand that rule the school[00:00:57]
And reach and teach the blind[00:00:59]
And find a way from A to Z[00:01:00]
And be the most to boast I'm load and proud[00:01:01]
The game and reign that remain[00:01:03]
The heat is on so feel[00:01:05]
The fire come off the empire or the[00:01:07]
More higher level of depth one step beyond d**e[00:01:08]
To suckers all scope and hope to cop a note[00:01:11]
Cause I could never let em on top of me[00:01:13]
I play em out like a game of Monopoly[00:01:15]
Let it speed around the board like an astro[00:01:17]
And send them to jail for tryna pass go[00:01:19]
Shaking them up[00:01:21]
Breaking them up[00:01:22]
Taking no stuff[00:01:22]
But it still ain't loud enough[00:01:23]
So quest love let the fire roast[00:01:24]
So I can flow and we can kill the whole show cause[00:01:26]
Party people gather round what[00:01:29]
We have here is a brand new sound[00:01:30]
Reach for my waist you hit the ground[00:01:32]
You better duck when that awful sound goes[00:01:34]
Boom [00:01:36]
Thats what's happenin in the parking lot[00:01:39]
Thats what's happenin on stage[00:01:42]
I'm live[00:01:44]
Design a finer rhyme that's right on time[00:01:45]
One step beynd and not behind the line[00:01:46]
That seperates thought from divine[00:01:48]
You can take it as a caution or a warning sign[00:01:50]
Look for antonyms[00:01:52]
Words I'm sending em[00:01:53]
Homonyms synonyms good like MM's[00:01:54]
You know the time when it's Riq Gees slicing[00:01:56]
I turn a Mic's last name into Tyson[00:01:58]
My brain like a factory constantly creating[00:02:00]
Materials stitch by stitch for decoration[00:02:02]
My lyrics one fabric the beat is a lining[00:02:04]
My passion of rhyming is fashion designing[00:02:06]
Now it get sorted cause people wanna sport it ya bought it[00:02:08]
If you didn't then you couldn't afford it[00:02:10]
Poetry full of surprises it's like a game show[00:02:12]
And my brain go[00:02:14]
I do my thing yo[00:02:15]
Party people gather round what[00:02:16]
We have here is a brand new sound[00:02:17]
Reach for my waist you hit the ground[00:02:20]
You better duck when that awful sound goes[00:02:22]

Thats what's happenin in the parking lot[00:02:26]
Thats what's happenin on stage[00:02:30]
