Roots - Concerto Of Desparado lyrics
rate me[Chorus]<br />
The concerto, of the desperado<br />
R-double-O-T-S check the flow<br />
If you know like I know then you know the motto<br />
That's all the fraud shit got to go/fake shit gots to go<br />
<br />
[Verse One: Black Thought]<br />
In the glow of the moon, over the melancholy metro<br />
My poetry is set like a U.F.O.<br />
The maestro, the lyricist concerto<br />
My physical play the role of a vessel<br />
The level of my lyrics law manifesto<br />
My thoughts wrestle and attack with the killer instincts<br />
Of a gorilla stronger than Samson<br />
Without vanilla my soliloquoy profess my ability to just<br />
Stimulate you like the best sensimilla<br />
The halflife the Illadel-L-P-O-phila proceed<br />
Hither is my death flower blow your tower to smithe-<br />
-reens to fiends catch another rhyme gripper<br />
Deeper than the meditations of a Hindu worshiper<br />
Unorthodox, hip-hop, minister<br />
Than a Serengeti cheetah my thoughts swifter<br />
You lose your balance when the sound hits ya<br />
So check for the, Fifth Militia<br />
A poet's under pressure stressin that you get the picture<br />
Even if it means you gotta hang over the banister<br />
I pull a microphone on any pistol brandisher<br />
And take advantage of ya because you amateur<br />
Styles gunning down your sound man and manager<br />
What?? This how we do it in the year for nine-six<br />
With this delivering attack on pointless rap shit<br />
Breakin MC's down to fractions, tell your squadron<br />
It's time to go to war, Respond/React<br />
<br />
[Chorus 2X]<br />
<br />
[Verse Two: Malik B]<br />
The implorer, the universe explorer<br />
Treat MC's like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah<br />
Leavin these niggaz open like a box of Pandora<br />
With styles that's newer than the world order<br />
Approximately three quarters of y'all are water<br />
I straight deport ya<br />
Then orchestrate your torture with roots of culture<br />
The pill brimmage to the line of scrimmage up against your image<br />
Where life is a heist, and the strong get a percentage<br />
It's I'll as a war and within it I'm the Lieutenant<br />
That surrounds you like a peninsula to snatch the pennant<br />
You fold like Japan's futons and fans<br />
While I design a plan to make a rapper step like a pedestrian<br />
I crush a mountain into grands of sand<br />
Your pain stains the hand that held the mic inserted to the stand<br />
The desperado, that refuse to follow<br />
The Fifth afficianado, break you up into parts like vibrato<br />
I deep like the dark of the night<br />
Niggaz is sweet and sound silly when they talk on the mic<br />
They use the simple back and forth the same<br />
Old rhythm that's plain<br />
I'd rather UltraMagnetize your brain<br />
It's the hip-hop purist, that leave you lost like a tourist<br />
Inside the chorus, niggaz is bringin nothin for us<br />
As we breakin em down to fractions, tell your squadron<br />
It's time to go to war, Respond/React<br />
<br />
[Chorus 2X]
