Dave Chapelle's Block Party movie - Boom lyrics

rate me

Song by The Roots feat. Big Daddy Kane & Kool G Rap<br /><br>

Hold your flix, I'm not for the photo op's<br>

It's Black, code name Yaphet Kotto ock<br>

My twist like a ratchet in an auto shop<br>

Since granddaddy old Desoto stopped and he got the Caddie<br>

I been gladly servin, any y'all cats wanna act determined<br>

Spit pesticides for rats and vermin<br>

Seem like none of y'all chumps is learning<br>

Y'all hopeless, and I'm a little better than dope is<br>

Far from a brand new kid to show biz<br>

Tryna hold on, maintain my focus<br>

Coming out a room with a could of smoke<br>

Smokers rolling with the punches<br>

I survive and rock<br>

Cause I keep the crowd alive<br>

And the texture of my voice<br>

Is course and kind of hoarse and cut<br>

Like I'm throwing a thousand knives<br>

<br>

[Hook:]<br>

Party people gather round what we have here is a brand new sound<br>

Reach for my waist you hit the ground<br>

You better duck when that awful sound goes<br>

Boom<br>

Thats what's happenin in the parking lot<br>

Thats whats happenin on stage<br>

<br>

[Repeat Hook]<br>

<br>

The man at hand that rule the school<br>

And reach and teach the blind and find a way from A to Z<br>

And be the most to boast I'm load and proud<br>

The game and reign that remain<br>

The heat is on so feel the fire come off the empire or the<br>

More higher level of depth one step beyond dope<br>

To suckers all scope and hope to cop a note<br>

Cause I could never let em on top of me<br>

I play em out like a game of Monopoly<br>

Let it speed around the board like an astro<br>

And send them to jail for tryna pass go<br>

Shaking them up<br>

Breaking them up<br>

Taking no stuff<br>

But it still ain't loud enough<br>

So quest love let the fire roast<br>

So I can flow and we can kill the whole show cause<br>

<br>

[Repeat hook]<br>

<br>

I'm live<br>

Design a finer rhyme that's right on time<br>

One step beynd and not behind the line<br>

That seperates thought from divine<br>

You can take it as a caution or a warning sign<br>

Look for antonyms<br>

Words I'm sending em<br>

Homonyms, synonyms good like M&M's<br>

You know the time when it's Riq Gees slicing<br>

I turn a Mic's last name into Tyson<br>

My brain like a factory constantly creating<br>

Materials stitch by stitch for decoration<br>

My lyrics one fabric the beat is a lining<br>

My passion of rhyming is fashion designing<br>

Now it get sorted cause people wanna sport it ya bought it<br>

If you didn't then you couldn't afford it<br>

Poetry full of surprises it's like a game show<br>

And my brain go<br>

I do my thing yo<br>

<br>

[Repeat Hook]<br>
