Roots - Get Busy lyrics
rate me(feat. Dice Raw, Peedi Peedi)<br />
<br />
[Verse 1-Black Thought]<br />
Look, my squad half-Mandrill, half-Mandela<br />
My band 'bout seventy strong just like Fela<br />
Yeah, part Melle-Mel, part Van Halen<br />
And we represent Illadel, where they still rebellin'<br />
Hey yo, Sicko show like Mike Moore<br />
My city ain't nothin' like yours<br />
Slippin' into darkness like war<br />
Nightcrawl with the lights off<br />
You see a lot of life lost for the white horse<br />
Regardless, the charges makin' us all targets<br />
All on the red carpet, guns from the black market<br />
Eh, who got the politicians in they back pocket? <br />
Pimp slap, pump that, give me that profit<br />
When you make contact, give me that gossip<br />
If you break contract, you'll be that hostage<br />
They gettin' busy and the city is raw<br />
Better dead bolt the door, it ain't safe no more<br />
<br />

[Verse 2-Dice Raw]<br />
Approach with caution, be cautious, when talkin' to bosses<br />
I feel I've been through a metamorphis<br />
I'm mutated by unknown forces, the feeling of course is<br />
Something that's hard to describe<br />
I'm half-dead, never felt more alive<br />
Reborn, remove the gold coins from my eyes<br />
I've been down, but now I'm back up<br />
I'm 'bout to act up, boy, you better back up<br />
When you see me, set up shop, know to pack up<br />
'Cause I crack up, when a rapper get slapped up<br />
Number one reason y'all should give rap up<br />
Dice, it's mines, I got it all wrapped up<br />
I'm kinda like W.E.B. Du Bois<br />
Meets Heavy D and the Boyz, smooth as a Rolls Royce<br />
Built like a tank, smokin' on dank<br />
Walkin' through the Guggenheim, Raw Life, Black Ink<br />

[Verse 3-Peedi Peedi]<br />
Now on your mark, uh-huh, get set<br />
Go cop everything you ever heard by Peed Crakk<br />
Dice Raw and Black, fuck the internet<br />
Buy a baseball bat, break a bootlegger leg<br />
All I listen to is vets, you're fresh off the step<br />
I'll come directly at your OG neck<br />
I'm used to the 1, 2 check, not the 1, 2 step<br />
I'm strapped, I'll leave every cat among you wet<br />
Now let's go, you know I'm politically incorrect<br />
At the show, I start it with a "Can I get a 'ho'?"<br />
And the ho's go retarded<br />
The po-po tape off the stage for caution<br />
It's bad lands, North Philly get it in<br />
It's Crakk man, used to back spin<br />
Now I spend stacks and stacks<br />
And Uncle Sam tryin' to tax all my hard earned raps<br />
Damn, we makin' Yens, Pesos, Euros, we representin'<br />
