Roots - Duck Down! lyrics
rate me[Black Thought aka Tariq Trotter aka Riq-Gees]<br />
Yeah we gettin' ready to break y'all it's winner take all<br />
The game is locked, we down to the eight ball<br />
The time is now, it ain't nothin' to wait for<br />
I'm a king by blood, a soldier by nature<br />
I'm somethin' like a threat to y'all space cadets<br />
'Cause you never met a brother nothin' like me yet<br />
So push another slice into your toaster, tighten your vests<br />
Cause it's a warrior you seein' here tonight in the flesh<br />
I give you sudden high voltage double dosage<br />
Runnin' with these vultures givin' me ulcers<br />
Which one of these hustlers bringin' the thunder<br />
'Riq-Gees not another man takin' us under<br />
Nigga please wichya Philly cat doin' his own thing<br />
Might say black might give you a code name<br />
Round my neck see the microphone hang<br />
Have your lady lip-syncin' like on soul train<br />
The niggaz that's a problem is minimal margin<br />
The Colonel, Captain, Lieutenant, General, Sergeant<br />
Black, one man army move in on your squadron<br />
You sittin' still you know you a target<br />
You heard you better duck down!<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
See me comin' you better tuck those chains,<br />
'Cause you don't wanna feel them thangs,<br />
If you want it, you can get it baby,<br />
You know you need to get low (Duck Down!x2)<br />
X 2<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Yeah we gettin' set to get rid of y'all that's what it's headin' for<br />
The underdog knuckle and brawl with the bigger boar<br />
I spit what your wig absorb sicker than sycamore<br />
I'm creatin' a circumstance that you a victim of<br />
The rebel or the renegade out on the quest<br />
The super black man runnin' wit a S on his chest<br />
And stand for the straight struggle to escape the stress<br />
You think it's sweet tryin' to eat, you ain't taste this yet<br />
So make y'all steps precautious into the darkness<br />
Thoughts cold and heartless makin' me nauseous<br />
Gettin' more remorseless for what I done<br />
If the lawyers and courts wonder what I run<br />
Civil liberties is free but just for some<br />
How you a gangster and you scared to bust your gun<br />
For the call, trust your fam' and trust nobody at all<br />
Seein' brothers gettin' struck down<br />
You better duck down!<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
Yeah, I can feel something for sure, I been up in here before,<br />
The gladiator in a coliseum ready for war<br />
That old timer holdin' his revolver set to blow<br />
Just like a [fatty hater?] at whoever stick his head in the door<br />
The one who been through it all, anything goes,<br />
Rather give it to ya straight, 'stead of speaking in codes<br />
'cause man, that bullshit can get you riddled with holes<br />
If you ain't insured, then the hospitals is closed<br />
You got to go uptown while you leakin' on the ground<br />
In cases like these, you need to duck down<br />
Your five-dollar toys, I'm a million dollar man<br />
Esquire 'Riq Gees, go according to plan<br />
I'm thinking outside the box, off your blocks<br />
And outside your concept of time, off the clocks<br />
For real, well it's Black Thought, your boss DJ<br />
However you brothers weigh, that's what you gon' pay, c'mon<br />
<br />
Chorus x2
