Roots - I Remain Calm lyrics
rate meI remain calm, lyrically I got the bomb<br />
When you put me on, I remain calm<br />
(repeat 4X)<br />
<br />
[Malik B]<br />
It's the 'I remain calm' but for jurge to erk<br />
Come out my humble go berzerk and make you swallow your smirk<br />
I splurge most and bash, capacitate mass<br />
I fascinate as I assassinate and show task<br />
Characters and egos, get crushed in trust<br />
And my words stampede like herds in a dusk<br />
Cream of all crops, topics I drop with Trotter<br />
When heated up, I gets hotter cause I'm proper<br />
You never knew the levitude the clever few<br />
Different tax for revenue man if you ever knew<br />
The tac-tic, strategies, of word, ca-pa-bil-ities<br />
Display, de-cease<br />
The rhythm, and man how it swerved and curved<br />
Made a niggaz dream but his hope deferred then stirred<br />
Dig the mentals, Papermate, Bic's and Number 2 pencils<br />
My credentials blow on instrumentals<br />
I write an anthem throw a tantrum and remain handsome<br />
Mysterious vibes, like I was the phantom<br />
Erupt abruptly, then conduct amaze<br />
You're fucked when the lyrics get bucked because I graze<br />
Never animosity, on my property<br />
Niggaz acropoly, or they feel extreme monstrosity<br />
Wreakin leak out the verbals ? don't forget it<br />
The chief of edit then Malik'll shred it yeah I said it<br />
<br />
I remain calm, lyrically I got the bomb<br />
When you put me on, I remain calm<br />
(repeat 4X)<br />
<br />
[BlackThought]<br />
That nigga Thought flows like a river I deliver<br />
Styles like Domino's, eyes closed I inhale<br />
Equality follow me now son<br />
Listen my divisions advance I surpass one half the rap mass<br />
The other half, want my autograph, because I got<br />
Soul plus a ghetto stroll similar to Shaft<br />
It's the mic rapers, splittin Phillies in the cellar<br />
My acapella verse, can stomp, I delete comp<br />
My rated X, larynx, wrecks your context<br />
I'm complex, confusin, lyrically amusin, I drink brews<br />
Then when I'm groovin I'm no longer human<br />
I'd like to take this time to give a shout to all the money makers<br />
In the house galore they help me turn it out<br />
I whip the cap to the max, I'm laid back, like your gramps<br />
I make, niggaz unbalanced like they spendin food stamps<br />
I take, my time when I rhyme lovely, me nah like<br />
Ugly like, God we get odd to the rhythms<br />
Rappers thinkin of steppin up, what the fuck you're doin?<br />
I amplify the hymn to bring your empire to ruin<br />
Who's your girl screwin fellas? Jealous because I'm fly<br />
Keep my sneakers dry, when you cry-baby<br />
See I can have you headin for the border like a ReFugee from Haiti<br />
Aiyyo, this brother drivin my cab, tried to flip, saying<br />
"Pay me in advance" -- I asked him if he ever danced<br />
In the dark, with the rap devil, BlackThought<br />
See niggaz who get caught off guard remain scarred<br />
Into air, with headphones remainin on the domes, they hair<br />
I resound and astound and scare, I reign terror<br />
Into another nigga rap era, my rhymes sedate<br />
I duplicate, like aloe vera<br />
I'm extreme, restin in the land of the plot and the scheme<br />
Peace to ? Rock and the Equal Team<br />
<br />
I remain calm, lyrically I got the bomb<br />
When you put me on, I remain calm<br />
(repeat 12X)
