Roots - Mellow My Man lyrics
rate me[BlackThought]<br />
One two<br />
Yes, The Roots layin back, rela-xin<br />
Coolin out with my man Malik B<br />
We call him Sla-xon<br />
YaknowhatI'msayin? We in effect<br />
Mo like Al B. Sure, for your plea-sure<br />
Aiyyo bust it<br />
We about to flip it on some ol' laid back, mellow my man tip<br />
We gon' set it like this<br />
Yo check it<br />
<br />
Bust it, La Di Da Di, who likes to party<br />
Like Slick Rick the Ruler I'm cooler than a ice brick<br />
Got soul like those afro picks, with the black fist<br />
And leave a crowd drippin like John the Baptist, it's<br />
The cause of that "Oh shit!"<br />
The skits I kick, flows like catfish<br />
And got many emcees on the blacklist<br />
I'm sharp as a cactus plus, quick to bust gymnastic tactics<br />
Us, Roots is really true to that rap shit<br />
Now holla to the scholarly, street skats that follow me<br />
Back to the Soul Shack with packs of rap colonies<br />
Max that, Foreign Objects is mad abstract, make Shadrach<br />
Offender wanna go like Meshach, Black<br />
Thought the nappy cat a bookworm shoe styles like sperm<br />
Cool as Malcolm Little with conch a la perm burn<br />
The herb sticks like wicks, and flips when I slaps the hand<br />
Of my mellow my man, Malik B<br />
<br />
[Malik B]<br />
Here I goes, negroes best to know the flower<br />
The pro-fessional, best in those skills that kills so uhh..<br />
WHOA, slow down before you go down (sissy)<br />
Trixie this is Agatha Christie your slain and know now<br />
Next contender, Malik's the axe offender<br />
Critique me so uniquely with mystique that's so deep within the<br />
Microphones I grip, psych with poems so's I slits throats<br />
Put him in a quote, when he croaks<br />
They sayin -- isn't it, is it the negro that did it?<br />
Cause wreck with the tech, make you jump and say 'ribbit'<br />
I exhibit many forms, prohibit the corny forms<br />
(And we're in, your neighborhood) on the norms<br />
Capture, was to, whack ya<br />
Manu-facture, you can even ask Anita about the, rap-ture<br />
I figured, perhaps ya, a say it SLAM<br />
For my mellow my man<br />
<br />
Chorus: BlackThought<br />
<br />
The way we do it like this<br />
That, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like that for my mellow my man<br />
No no we do it like that<br />
This, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like this for my mellow my man<br />
No no we do it like this<br />
That, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like that for my mellow man<br />
No no we do it like that<br />
This, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like this for my mellow my man<br />
<br />
[BlackThought]<br />
Yo, I got spunk, plus funk<br />
And Jump Like Punks, to Get Beat Down<br />
Turn that heat down, I'm crazy cool<br />
Deeper than the pool than Wilt the Stilt<br />
Damn near drowned in clowns bounce to sound<br />
When Thoughts pound<br />
And brown's, my complexion section Southern<br />
My brother-in is Jex, I<br />
Sweats no sex, cause this kid gets<br />
Grits n shit, it's flex to drains that was crazed<br />
When your heart spit up, dip dup damn<br />
Yo I lost it but --<br />
-- back is the Black Boogey Man<br />
Manic mad musician, maker of noise<br />
That's jocked, by your homeboys<br />
I rocks my flocks of sheep, it's the slickest shepherd around<br />
I was lost but was found, now I gets down<br />
From Philly to the Apple I, stop and holla tunes and then hit<br />
Up-town, Diggin Planets when they get Earthbound<br />
I kick the groovy tunes for you and yours, when I pass the can<br />
To my mellow my man, Malik B<br />
<br />
[Malik B]<br />
WHOAHHHHH, shucks, my nuc snuff ducks (uh-huh)<br />
Abruptly I erupt, to destruct, deducts<br />
In wax I like to smack em, stroke em as I cap em<br />
Change my name to Saran or Reynolds then I Wrap em<br />
Negroes know we be furrow to my borough<br />
Cause my ass is so thorough, like Levert Gerald<br />
Too strong to be sterile<br />
So I impregnates the greats (say what?)<br />
Bust the Pacino's, I won't trust them<br />
Even though I lust them shapes -- females for retail prices<br />
Twice this nice, this witch sure does her spices<br />
I won't smirk, cause my name's not Urkel<br />
The voice with the multiple choice, she does a circle<br />
You wanna turn and page your eyes, and try to plagerize<br />
But I degrade ya, slaughtered ya and slayed ya<br />
Microphones I grip equipped to flip the hyp-ocrites<br />
And nit-wits, with tidbit skits, them ain't *shhh*<br />
That was a curse, but I divide it in half<br />
Gets the airplay, no fair play, you're feelin the wrath<br />
Of Malik, aiyyo get tragic, negroes that get dramatic<br />
Because I have the habit to smoke rabbits like a addict<br />
So if you can not rap I will just slap YOU<br />
If you wants to pick up on your nose be shows the chrome<br />
And then we cap, YOU<br />
It's too bad, dem cyan't understand de true check<br />
For my mellow my man<br />
<br />
Chorus: BlackThought<br />
<br />
The way we do it like this<br />
That, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like that for my mellow my man<br />
No no we do it like that<br />
This, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like this for my mellow my man<br />
No no we do it like this<br />
That, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like that for my mellow man<br />
No no we do it like that<br />
This, for my mellow my man<br />
It's like this for my mellow my man<br />
<br />
I think it's for my mellow my man, uhh<br />
My mellow my man, right<br />
My mellow my man, uhh<br />
My mellow my man, right<br />
My mellow my man, uhh<br />
My mellow my man, right<br />
My mellow my man my mellow my man my mellow my man my mellow my man<br />
For Scott Storch, my mellow my man<br />
Leonard Hubbard on the bass, my mellow my man<br />
B.R.O.T.H.E.R. ? on the drums, my mellow my man<br />
Gotta end it on the one, my mellow my man<br />
Check it
