Roots - It's About That Time lyrics
rate meOver 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
