Roots - Meiso lyrics

rate me

[Black Thought]<br />

Yin for yang I walk on a line<br />

Between ghetto slang and stimulation of the mind<br />

Life is a labyryth for dollars and cents<br />

As I quest for cream, through the steam so dense<br />

From the sensei me a puff, cause the tunnel is tough<br />

Some lick shots with sound, some'll bust from the cannon<br />

Experts o-rig-i-nal man'll examine<br />

I am in fact lacking con-fus-ion, as to what's real<br />

And what's illus-ion<br />

I come from Illadelph where ya health you never take for granted<br />

As hot as the equator in a cypher round the planet<br />

Or abnormal, niggas appearing out of portals and demanding your soul<br />

Who controls the eight immortals but the number seven<br />

In this continual maze, where night fight with days<br />

Within my mind marijuan blaze<br />

And some say I should change my ways<br />

But it's hard to hear the phrase through the havoc and haze<br />

Thought's style will never since or never cease to excella-rate<br />

It's the great lab dwella<br />

Tha mentals of The Roots are beyond any computer<br />

The judge prosecutor, or the drug distributor<br />

Respect to the ex-Lex Luger, my nigga Malik B the intruder<br />

Phila 5th Dynasty's the future<br />

And DJ Krush is the producer, ya healin with the ginseng Roots<br />

We get ya renascence loosa<br />

Remember me the Thought I represent essentially and<br />

Mentally eventually, ya mention me as most high<br />

My decibels are most fly, I come to paint ya Thought's Black<br />

Yo Krush, where's it at?!!!??!<br />

<br />

[Malik B]<br />

The Roots bring it from the Phila Fifth, spill the gift<br />

The melody of a felony is straight off a cliff<br />

Now can I get a witness to dismiss Christmas from the myth list<br />

Man that's bogus, let's try to stay focused<br />

You would think it was the Fourth of July<br />

Cause in Illadelph a round of applause light up the sky<br />

Why? Don't ask me, subtle attitudes sometimes nasty<br />

Foul mouth bitches walk around looking trashy<br />

Bimbos talking about where's the indo?<br />

Crackheads leavin babies unattended at the window<br />

To see death, and brothers with strikes who got three left<br />

I'm trying to make it, cause if I don't I'll probably take it<br />

But perserverence is a virtue<br />

The person that you thinking you hurting might hurt you<br />

Ya celly might jerk too<br />

Perhaps I'll go to court this time when I'm summoned<br />

But I'm a rebel to the system so I might not be coming<br />

So if I fail, man just get up the bail<br />

It's just more time to write another story to tell<br />

Ill elements, drop intelligence, Black Thought Malik B<br />

Fuck up their-re-le-vance<br />

We got strain on the brain from bodies left in the dust<br />

Man just leave it to us, look main aim and I'll bust<br />

Fuck betrayal just trust, all the tracks we lust<br />

With DJ Krush from Japan with no more need to discuss
