Roots - Boom! lyrics
rate meHold 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 />
That's what's happenin in the parking lot<br />
That's what's 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]
