Roots - Leonard I-V lyrics
rate me[Black Thought]<br />
From The Never Never Tunnels via satellite<br />
Ceremonies be commencing in the candlelight<br />
Yo is I is up in the res-in-iduals tonight<br />
Absolutely because I'm the kid that's on the mic<br />
And I believe it's destiny that I got put<br />
In a position to throw lyrics like a shotput<br />
Yo no matter the circumstance<br />
Thought can always make you dance<br />
Like you got the heebie-jeebies or a hotfoot<br />
The bass is low on the meter, less than zero<br />
So while I'm sinning you be spinning like a planet<br />
Yo if you dig the shit I'm sayin you'll be deeper<br />
Wish for little and your wishes shall be granted<br />
We plant the seeds y'all, to grow The Roots y'all<br />
And mad knowledge I got, from the archives<br />
But now I got a crazy fat question:<br />
What ever happened to Leonard Parts One to Five?<br />
<br />
Chorus: Black Thought (repeat 2X)<br />
<br />
Why'd you ask me that question? (I don't know)<br />
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go?<br />
Why'd you ask me that question? (I don't know)<br />
Word/Uhh/Yeah/...<br />
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go..<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Chariot, Chariot, come swing low--be<br />
Cause it's on a lower level that I swing low, umm<br />
?uestion, keeps me up, on the swing flow, he<br />
Don't got a whole name, I call him, BRO The<br />
Roots is comin through on your audio<br />
For you to cut The Roots down I don't think so<br />
Because the sound from the ground is like be--low<br />
And when the liquid kicks in then The Roots grow<br />
Now my ace boom coon plus amigo<br />
Was Shadrach Meshach and N'bendago<br />
There was a Alpha to Omega, motion, system<br />
But I just call them A to O<br />
And in all states, The Roots'll rock a fat show<br />
Because I drop art like I was Pa-blo<br />
And Pa-blo's last name was Picasso<br />
But as for cash flow, I don't got no<br />
Dividends and, ends to spend on blow, yo<br />
Where did Leonard Parts to Five go?<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Where's the third verse? Here it comes, here it goes<br />
The second had Oodles and Oodles of..<br />
Speaking of O's, I'm hard to sink like a Cheerio<br />
And I speak up loud, so you can hear me yo<br />
Is it A Tribe Called Quest? Is it the J.Beez?<br />
We're Cool Like Dat, but yo we're not the D.P.'s<br />
It's the group The Roots, with the organic rap style<br />
Plus the groove from the rhythmic rhyme file<br />
Umm.. I'm a big fan of the Soul<br />
But I'm trying to get this Roots shit in control<br />
So I hate when people say,<br />
"Umm - you remind me of De La Soul,"<br />
Cause I got a soul, of my own, and umm<br />
Yo The Roots are taking big steps and<br />
You can listen as we progress in<br />
Sometimes I might come to teach a lesson<br />
Other times it's with a crazy question like..<br />
<br />
Yo.. whatever happened to Leonard Parts One to Five?<br />
Word up; I don't know, anyway, Roots up y'know<br />
Uhh, as we do it like this<br />
Roots up, Roots up<br />
Roots up, Roots up<br />
Roots up, Roots up<br />
Roots up, Roots up<br />
Roots up.. up, Roots up-up<br />
Roots up, Roots up-up<br />
Roots up, Roots up-up<br />
Roots up, Roots _Up From the Ground_<br />
Roots up, Roots up with the sound<br />
Roots up, Roots _Up From the Ground_<br />
Roots up, Roots gettin on down<br />
Roots up, dig it<br />
Roots up y'all, Roots up y'all<br />
Roots is up Roots is up Roots is up y'all<br />
Roots is up y'all, Roots is up y'all<br />
Roots is up Roots is up Roots is up y'all<br />
Roots is up..
