Web (Explicit) - The Roots[00:00:00]
Uh huh[00:00:03]
Uh[00:00:08]
And it weights a ton[00:00:17]
'Riq geez motherf**kers I'm a son of a gun[00:00:18]
Black master of any trade under the sun[00:00:20]
Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue[00:00:22]
Clear my path and come get your captain hung[00:00:24]
Trying to breath like black'll collapse your lungs[00:00:26]
Young chump you could choke off the web I spun[00:00:28]
I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung[00:00:31]
You done heard about what set I'm from[00:00:33]
My ni**a word-a-mouth little rule-a-thumb[00:00:35]
Y'all better bow down when the ruler come[00:00:37]
I'm a real hood ni**a not a hood-a-lum[00:00:39]
The way Thought put it down be confusin' some of y'all[00:00:41]
Cats can't walk while chewin' your gum 'n all[00:00:43]
With a keyboard got do with a drum 'n all[00:00:45]
School 'em on stage like I'm doin' a seminar[00:00:47]
Professional type I'm adjusting my mic[00:00:49]
Go to war kid I'll give you any weapon you like[00:00:51]
Give you something to run from[00:00:54]
bust off your dum-dum[00:00:55]
Stop kid that hot sh*t you know where it come from[00:00:56]
It's philly world-wide phenomenom[00:00:58]
And reinforcin' that sh*t is my 9-to-5[00:00:59]
And when I finish making you recognize[00:01:02]
I'm getin' at a couple civilized women[00:01:03]
That's tryin' to ride[00:01:05]
You were waitin' on the raw to come off the oil[00:01:06]
You wanna get the b**ches up off the wall[00:01:08]
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself[00:01:10]
To keep you in health this for all of y'all[00:01:12]
I'm quick on the draw like Black McGraw[00:01:14]
And I can't tell what y'all cats rappin' for[00:01:16]
My name 'riq geez and I'm back for more[00:01:19]
To get more chips than the corner store[00:01:21]
With a portrait of Malcom X on the door[00:01:23]
While I'm eatin' MCs like a carnivore[00:01:25]
Matter fact ease back 'fore you get harmed[00:01:27]
Ring the warning horn when I'm gon' perform[00:01:29]
The first ni**a that move or disturb the goove[00:01:31]
I'm a have y'all flicks on the evening news[00:01:33]
Play y'all part - get on y'all P's and Q's[00:01:35]
And when y'all think Thought be prepared to lose[00:01:37]
Bring money to spend and somebody to lend[00:01:39]
And some worthwhile money not twenties and tens[00:01:41]
Get took for your tuck right in front of your 'hens[00:01:43]
Who coulda help you ni**a not none of ya friends[00:01:46]
Because I put a black fist under ya chin[00:01:47]
Have your physical remains found under the pen[00:01:50]
If I'm coming up in the place [00:01:51]
I'm coming to win[00:01:53]
Wasn't in it for a minute [00:01:54]
Now I'm dumbin' again[00:01:55]
'Riq geez ock y'all can chat what y'all please[00:01:56]
Receive what I'm gonna give back to y'all please[00:01:58]
'Cuz y'all don't really wanna get clapped with all these[00:02:00]
My man you can take y'all strap when y'all leave[00:02:02]
You see the squad come in the place they all freeze[00:02:04]
Ice cold with his mellow cool breeze[00:02:06]
MCs never showed loyalty yet[00:02:09]

I'm calm collect sharp like my name Gillette[00:02:15]
RIP my man Gillette[00:02:17]
Until I touch the mic [00:02:17]
Y'all people ain't seen danger yet[00:02:19]
I'm a decorated vet I regulate and wreck[00:02:21]
Never hesitated yet [00:02:23]
I'm gettin' heavy weighted checks[00:02:24]
If you would dare ask if I'm dedicated - yes[00:02:25]
I spit live rounds that would penetrate a vest[00:02:27]
Ni**a take ya seats I'm a demonstrate a test[00:02:29]
How to freak the beats so gangsta fresh[00:02:31]
And it thump from the east coast to Bangladesh[00:02:33]
Big bank willy gank smoke the thing to death[00:02:35]
But hold tight cuz it's not over yet[00:02:38]
I don't even feel like I'm not sober yet[00:02:40]
And it ring like shots in the projects new year's eve[00:02:41]
And it ain't even October yet[00:02:44]
I'm a big bounty hunter like Boba Fett[00:02:46]
Y'all more shell shocked then a soldier get[00:02:48]
If the prize in my sights[00:02:50]

Get down how you 'posed to get[00:02:58]

I'm a killer with no regrets[00:03:01]

Makin' niggaz screw face like Gargamel[00:03:05]
