Ital (The Universal Side) (explicit Album Version) - The Roots[00:00:00]
From the Illadelph side [00:00:03]
From the New York side[00:00:06]
To the Universal Side[00:00:09]
From the Illadelph side [00:00:13]
From the New York side[00:00:15]
From the Universal Side[00:00:19]
Abstract[00:00:21]
I wanna be able to reach an MC[00:00:22]
And reach a little child in the same degree[00:00:24]
And my elders excel [00:00:26]
I mean what the hell[00:00:27]
We might as well bridge these gaps[00:00:28]
In all before we fall in the fire[00:00:30]
It's a million mc's upon a[00:00:32]
Plan they call real tryin' to set it[00:00:33]
Profess mic techniques illegit[00:00:34]
Inaccurate perceptions of reality embedded[00:00:36]
In their minds thus their rhymes are discredited[00:00:39]
Check it out man[00:00:41]
I use my music implemented[00:00:42]
With jewels export tools[00:00:43]
To inspire all those too cool[00:00:44]
Fools who say screw school[00:00:46]
'Cause they don't see the conspiracy[00:00:47]
That's put here to trap you and me[00:00:49]
You think you can get it[00:00:50]
Y'all know the battle lieutenant[00:00:51]
Be on some whole 'nother[00:00:52]
Other finesse genetic[00:00:53]
They say I get it from my[00:00:55]
Mother so it's inhereditary[00:00:56]
And very necessary to shine [00:00:57]
Legendarily heavily refined[00:00:59]
Contemporaries like The[00:01:01]
Roots is so radit's like dage[00:01:03]
Which bag did they come out of[00:01:04]
And how can I get in it to win[00:01:06]
It like a raffle ticket pick[00:01:07]
And if you feelin' something [00:01:09]
Guess who gets the sticking[00:01:10]
I got this Ital style up close and personal[00:01:11]
The first of all I violate I shall retaliate[00:01:13]
We on point like decimal abstract now[00:01:16]
MCin' while I'm breathin' MCin' is believin[00:01:22]
That you can host a ceremony[00:01:25]
And the dough is never phony[00:01:26]
In fact it's quite therapeutic[00:01:27]
Like B12 hypodermic needle [00:01:28]
So shoot it[00:01:30]
Lyrically elicit upstarts the explicit[00:01:31]
Most wicked seven digit mic wizard[00:01:33]
My tongue lash out and strike[00:01:35]
With it just slightly might miss it[00:01:37]
When I blast through your[00:01:39]
Section and district the feminine[00:01:40]
From the Illadelph side [00:01:42]
From the New York side[00:01:45]
To the Universal Side[00:01:48]
C'mon c'mon[00:01:50]
From the Illadelph side [00:01:52]
From the New York side[00:01:55]
To the Universal to the Universal[00:01:57]
C'mon c'mon[00:01:59]
In my formitive years by[00:02:00]
My peers I was influenced[00:02:01]
Until the instruments of time[00:02:03]
Killed the congruent[00:02:05]
I peeped the blue prints on[00:02:06]
How to make true sense of MC's[00:02:07]
Which are a nuisance I know just[00:02:09]
What to do since I'm on another lev[00:02:10]
Brothers is fakin' jacks and[00:02:12]
Think they ready for the rev[00:02:14]
But they got a lot to learn to[00:02:15]
Make theri thoughts long term[00:02:17]
'Cause on theri short[00:02:18]
Cuts they made a wrong turn[00:02:19]
Probably timelessly I construct the fear some[00:02:20]
To rip your eardrum for many years to come[00:02:22]
Professional style thinkin' rational to move wise[00:02:25]
So hard it's a wonder y'all alive[00:02:28]
And still breathin' niggaz is[00:02:30]
Dead and not even[00:02:31]
Perpetuatin' real life the sh*t kicked[00:02:33]
Is real trife they fake bleedin'[00:02:35]
It's obvious that they needin' attention feedin'[00:02:36]
They cold actin' like heathens[00:02:39]
When mics is picked up [00:02:40]
Mc's scenes is kicked up[00:02:42]
Like women with the gripper[00:02:43]
Drinking moet 'till they hiccup[00:02:44]
Fellas hustlin' picking bricks up[00:02:46]
Fantasizin' about the illest stick up[00:02:48]
But rip up the jam and we be truly impressed[00:02:50]
On stage you won't need your tef vest[00:02:52]
Only a mic with and a mic test[00:02:55]
And at your best you get blessed[00:02:56]
By the fans who profess[00:02:58]
That they can relate with[00:03:00]
The trials you tribulate[00:03:01]
Or the pains you endure[00:03:02]
Cause some cats is pure[00:03:03]
Tell horors that are true but see cats like you[00:03:04]
Y'all fake joints just to get a woo woo[00:03:07]
The tear jerker you like that miracle worker[00:03:09]
Whose miracle just ran out [00:03:12]
I think it's time you pan out[00:03:13]
Or just plain fade 'cause yo you played[00:03:15]
We 'bout to drop on you like the everglades[00:03:17]
