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..
