Roots - Popcorn Revisited lyrics
rate me[Black Thought]<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (8X)<br />
<br />
Yo, I wrote this, basement, Never Never Tunnel type portion<br />
Just to accompany some audio distortion<br />
Bust the popcorn, drop it ons my cassette and<br />
Yo Crumbs, umm, how you feel? I hope it's blessed man<br />
Dig The Square Roots be the setters of examples<br />
Findin mad rhythm in the static of your samples<br />
Quick to make you move to my groove as I sooth<br />
The ear of the listener on the musical<br />
Prisoner G, now you're free you can be all you wanna be<br />
Go where you want or go and see all you wanna see<br />
Because yo, your ambitions I won't neglect<br />
And to them brothers who ain't here, nuff respect<br />
So BROther ?uest, how ya livin, what ya givin black?<br />
To me the brother with the linens and the applejacks;<br />
Busy til the break of dawn<br />
The first verse is born I pass the popcorn<br />
<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
Say what?<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
<br />
Secondly, I speak for the ?uest from the S-Q-T (Square Roots)<br />
And I'm Black Thought, therefore you know it's funky<br />
The rhythms he recycles sometimes prehistoric<br />
The mic for the popcorn's like metaphoric (it's metaphoric baby)<br />
So many different factors in a ?uestion style<br />
Cause he's the father and he's giving more than one child<br />
The abstract soloist, drummin from the heart<br />
All the way from Philly in the West part<br />
Relax your mind and let your body be at rest<br />
Flow in slow mo', and let the BROther manifest<br />
Now the second verse has been born<br />
I'm Black Thought and I pass the popcorn<br />
On to Kid Crumb I pass the popcorn<br />
<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
Say what?<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
<br />
From the Southern section of Philly my affection<br />
Affiliates me with kids, from the store to pastry<br />
The Foreign Object, direct from ? with the skit<br />
That be rugged, it was the drumsticks and the buckets<br />
Back in the days, now the Rubber Band plays to accompany<br />
?uestion upon the drums and displays mad soul<br />
Soul be the source of the blam Roots fam<br />
As we grow and expand like the afro<br />
With menacing music seriously I'm sinister<br />
I shout, move about, turn it out like minister<br />
Diggin the flip-side when I slide I gets biz with<br />
Mad melanin, chocolate, like a chip that's black man<br />
From the dark room with the mad raps homegrown<br />
Knots and knaps upon the dome from thinkin<br />
I'm sinkin in the sound cause I gets and got down<br />
Lettin Black Thought's out of lockdown, buckshot<br />
Lick it to the tick of my measure's on the Richter<br />
Grits getter so grab your sister<br />
I get wreck so check my respect from the wreck<br />
That I've gotten biting this'll make your fronts turn rotten<br />
The original, rock chewer, from a duo<br />
Whatever called po' folkers or Crumbs, and his mouth broke<br />
Kids wanna laugh so I blast on your ass to - wait see<br />
Chase me and see if you catch the circular knot<br />
Style buckwild the acoustic boom<br />
Square Root of Black Thought broadcast with the popcorn<br />
It's like that y'all<br />
The popcorn popcorn as I pass y'all<br />
I go..<br />
<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
C'mon<br />
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn (4X)<br />
C'mon<br />
<br />
