Roots - Good Music lyrics
rate me[?uestlove]<br />
Peace to all the hip cats, all the nappy sweets<br />
This is the BROther ?uestion, broadcasting live<br />
Via satellite, from the Never Never Tunnels<br />
Now dig.. the rituals for today, is good music<br />
So sit back, relax.. and dig the groove<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Yo bust it, I digs hip-hop, and rocks for hip-hop<br />
Not R&B because to me that's not my style and<br />
The R-double-O-quotes ain't for radio, but major soul<br />
The ones that's hip won't change the dial and<br />
I remember one morning at the Soul Shack, coolin<br />
In the outback, on the songwritin ship<br />
Blizz a five, off a Bob Marley spliff<br />
On the cloud I be relaxin from last night and shit<br />
In studio today but hey BROther ?uestion<br />
Was on the Westside asleep without a clue when<br />
I hollered down to Crumbs to pick up the phone<br />
And tell him to get ready (?uestion, what ya doin?)<br />
(Ain't no thing) Yeah,<br />
Buttered chicken wings, so I met him in the West<br />
Where we had to 'lax and wait for Rubber Band and Bes'<br />
Bassey broke down on the other side of town<br />
Yo you know what it's about, The Roots is out<br />
To the subway<br />
<br />
Does anybody like good music?<br />
Sweet music, soul music?<br />
You know The Roots is a group that'll choose it<br />
Just to use it, to make you move it, yeah<br />
* repeat 2X except 'yeah' *<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
From the subway to the studio<br />
Gots to break fast if we wanna get, to the bus<br />
Runnin like a Mex for the border<br />
(Umm, yo, oh umm, was it a bunch of yas?)<br />
Nah, just the four of us<br />
Nuff nappy sweets on the transit, two fine<br />
(three fine) fo' five mo' fine, UHH!<br />
A girl says, "Hey ain't y'all The Square Roots?"<br />
And I'm like, "Heh, worrrd," <br />
And then the shorty passed the sign<br />
Now we got to make out exit (where?)<br />
To the pavement (to what?) Crushin trail mix<br />
(oh word man, yo look out) Say what? (look out!)<br />
?uestion dropped a whole bag of drumsticks<br />
(Ain't no thing) but a chicken wing, so<br />
He bends down to pick up the sticks<br />
And his pants fall down (dang!)<br />
In my face, ?uestion didn't frown, turned around<br />
And thought he felt a draft, so I laughed<br />
(HAHAHAHAHAH!)<br />
<br />
Does anybody like good music?<br />
Sweet music, soul music?<br />
You know The Roots is a group that'll choose it<br />
Just to use it, to make you move it, yeah<br />
* repeat 2X except 'yeah' *<br />
<br />
[Kid Crumbs]<br />
Here comes the Crumbs, from the chums of the P.O.<br />
Sprouted from The Roots and I was added to the trio<br />
Now I'm cahoots and got a reason for my ego<br />
In the words of, Los Lobos, ad-ios, a-migo<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
At the Rat Cave, mic I'm hand, I'm flowin<br />
Tellin ?uestion, to keep it, goin<br />
What I'm doin, I'm not really knowin<br />
But umm, to me see it sounds oh-and-kay'n (it sounds OK)<br />
Layin, to the sounds playin<br />
Umm, hi to hoe and, yeah, hey to hay'n (uh-huh)<br />
Trippin, I'm tryin, not to laugh, bust it<br />
It's the last paragraph, and I'm done half<br />
But ?uestion's jokin, and I'm like hopin<br />
That nobody comes in and opens, the door...<br />
(Ah man, what is up with you man?<br />
I'm leavin, what why you scratchin your face like that man?<br />
Look ugly, self-righteous, do-gooder)<br />
<br />
Does anybody like good music?<br />
Sweet music, soul music?<br />
You know The Roots is a group that'll choose it<br />
Just to use it, to make you move it<br />
* repeat 2X except *
