Roots - It's About That Time lyrics

rate me

Over the globe again from the realm of illadelph<br />

The planet overwhelmed yo just brace yaself<br />

Ya wanna go against me first face yaself i pose threat<br />

To whoever within ya commonwealth the top ten<br />

I'm crushing ya crap concoction<br />

To the utmost examine this upclose it's shockin <br />

Now mic droppin is only ya option<br />

Here come the spliff scientist in the flesh have you forgotten<br />

His excellency the most poetically inventive official hip hop shit<br />

That's ya incentive to cop this actual fact and not the likeness<br />

'cause possibly clones 'd try to do it like this<br />

Fathom this lyrically fabulous vocabulist <br />

Hold mic like four fifth and lick shot somewhat like pete<br />

Malik rock think not i don't smoke i just sleep drink and eat <br />

Think pot and i want the top a vehicle that brakes <br />

God i want the top a vehicle that brinks got composing <br />

To the ink sock my hip hop is wild megawatts <br />

Continue with forever exist and never stop<br />

Yo whut up whatever ock we can thicken tha plot because<br />

<br />

And it's time for that and it's about that time<br />

It's time for that and it's about that time<br />

Rob 0 it's time for that and it's about that time<br />

Pete Rock it's time for that and it's about that time<br />

Black Thought it's time for that and it's about that time<br />

<br />

[Rob O]<br />

I'm Rob 0 what, energize like a power plant blow speakers <br />

Without an amp do things these wack rappers can't <br />

And start again 33 rpm the hearts of men <br />

Are cold like the steel i hold on microphones <br />

Let my words express move men like chess <br />

My mic will stand erect like projects <br />

It's drastic top draft pick in this rap shit <br />

You just a fraction caught up in tha midst of action <br />

My catalog is current events breath the contents <br />

What i move crowds for local events the show stopper <br />

98 feature spot rocker rob odendo <br />

Now every mc wanna mention me out of envy <br />

Unofficially top of the charts i played my part <br />

Held it down from the start you know the M.O.<br />

Yeah yeah Rob Odendo<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

[Pete Rock]<br />

Yo it's the Capital P book rhymes of the century <br />

Speak rap line essientially on tha M-I-C<br />

I hold the mic appliance like science <br />

My competitors and clients worldwide as my words coincide <br />

With real life think twice transmit like true lies<br />

It's televised take my manuscripts out of context <br />

Who want next situation is complex<br />

Stop the nonsense it's 98 time to set the record straight <br />

Separate movers and shakers from those that hesitate<br />

Ya featherweight name carry weight in every state<br />

Ya name brand no frills niggaz is marinate <br />

It's pete rock new world innovator <br />

Crush immitators five years since the creator<br />

It's nuff said as i paint the town red and move ahead<br />

<br />

Chorus
