Roots - Ital (The Universal Side) lyrics

rate me

[Verse One: Q-Tip]<br />

<br />

I wanna be able to reach an mc<br />

And reach a little child in the same degree<br />

And my elders excel<br />

I mean what the hell<br />

We might as well bridge these gaps<br />

In all before we fall in the fire<br />

<br />

[Black Thought:]<br />

<br />

It's a million mc's upon a plan they call real tryin' to set it<br />

Profess mic techniques illegit<br />

Inaccurate perceptions of reality embedded<br />

In their minds thus their rhymes are discredited (check it out)<br />

<br />

[Q-Tip:]<br />

<br />

I use my music implemented with jewels import tools<br />

To inspire all those too cool fools who say screw school<br />

'Cause they don't see the conspiracy<br />

That's put here to trap you and me<br />

<br />

[Black Thought:]<br />

<br />

Y'all know the battle leutenant be on some whole 'nother other<br />

Finesse genetic<br />

They say I get it from my mother so its' inheredit-<br />

Ary and very necessary to shine<br />

Legendarily, heavily refined<br />

<br />

[Q-Tip:]<br />

<br />

Contemporaries like the Roots is so radit's like dage<br />

Which bag did they come out of, and how can I get in itto win<br />

It<br />

Like raffle ticket pick<br />

And if you feelin' something, guess who gets the sticking<br />

<br />

[Black Thought:]<br />

<br />

I got this Ital mad up close and personal<br />

The first I find to violate, I shall retal-<br />

Iate with realisms for their whole local<br />

We on point like decimal Abstract now<br />

<br />

[Q-Tip:]<br />

<br />

MCin while I'm breathingmcin is believing<br />

That you can host a ceremony and the dough is never phony<br />

In fact, it's very therapeutic<br />

Like B12 hyperdermic needle so shoot it <br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Lyrically elicit upstarts the explicit<br />

Most wicked seven digit mic wizardmy tongue lashes out and<br />

Strikes with it<br />

Just slightly might miss it<br />

When I blast through your section or district<br />

<br />

[CHORUS]<br />

<br />

[Verse Two: Black Thought]<br />

<br />

In my formitive by my peers I was influenced<br />

Until the instruments of time killed the congruence<br />

I peeped the blue prints on how to make true sense<br />

Of MC's which are a nuisance I know just what to do sinceI'm on<br />

Another lev.<br />

Brothers is fakin' jacks and think they ready for the rev.<br />

But they got a lot to learn, to make theri thoughts long term<br />

'cause on theri short-cuts they made a wrong turn<br />

Probably, timelessly I construct the firesome<br />

To rip your eardrum for many years to come<br />

Professional style thinkin' rational to move wise<br />

So hard it's a wonder y'all alive...<br />

<br />

[Q-Tip:]<br />

<br />

...And still breathin', niggaz is dead and not even<br />

Perpetuatin' real life the shit kicked is real trife ayo they<br />

Fake bleedin'<br />

It's obvious that they needin' attention feedin'<br />

They cold actin' like heathens<br />

When mics is picked up MC's scenes is kicked up<br />

Like women with the gripper drinking Moet 'till they hiccup<br />

Fellas hustlin' picking bricks up<br />

Fantasizin' about the illest stick up<br />

But rip up the jam and we be truly impressed<br />

On stage you won't need your tef. vest<br />

Only a mic with and a mic test<br />

And at your best you get blessed by the fans who profess<br />

That they can relate <br />

With the trials you tribulate<br />

Or the pains you endure <br />

'cause some cats is pure<br />

Tell horors that are true but see cats like you<br />

Y'all fake joints just tyo get a woo-woo<br />

The tear jerker<br />

You be that miracle worker<br />

Whose miracle just ran out<br />

I think it's time you pan out<br />

Or just plain fade, 'cause yo you played<br />

We 'bout to drop on you like the Everglades
