Roots - Proceed lyrics

rate me

Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away?<br />

Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away?<br />

Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay<br />

I be the 5 foot 7, residing at the mecca lesson south section<br />

Used to cut class in the infinite pursuit of ass<br />

Back in eighty-seven<br />

Easy with the chics I was a chocolate boy<br />

Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella<br />

Walking down the streets to the subway where i lay<br />

Til the train stop then a nigga hop<br />

Used to do the pop dance to the planet rock<br />

At the block party everybody jocked [who me?]<br />

It's the MC sucka niggaz envy<br />

I got my contract in 1993 and <br />

I shall proceed<br />

<br />

Chorus: repeat 2X<br />

<br />

I shall, proceed<br />

And continue, to rock the mic<br />

<br />

Verse Two:<br />

<br />

I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon<br />

Break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom<br />

I'm flyer when I'm higher put my shit up on a tomb<br />

That nigga represented on the 28th of June<br />

I'm representing philly on the 28th of June<br />

I can make you feel that i'm a surreal cartoon<br />

With my pistol in the face of hip hop, stick in your face<br />

Because i'm on a paper chase, yes i'm on a paper chase<br />

My Timberlands are fully laced I be the Mr. Boogeyman <br />

With records from 125th to Japan<br />

I laid them play like Johnny Hathaway and shake a hand, shake a hand<br />

Your lady tried to kick it, but I couldn't play my man<br />

My niggaz is my niggaz ya see she didn't understand<br />

I shake your hand and shit'll hit the fan, just think<br />

Just think, what? What if you could, just blink, what?<br />

Just blink yourself away?<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Verse Three:<br />

<br />

Malik B get on the mic yo there's too much on my mind [say what?]<br />

Malik get on the mic, there's too much on my mind<br />

Johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme<br />

Fuckin with The Roots you know them niggaz is the dime<br />

I can make a hundred yard line start to dash<br />

I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash<br />

I can make Conan and the Titans clash<br />

I can Metallica and guns 'N Roses crash<br />

Used to smash crash parties like i was disturbed<br />

Used to make plots against the herringbone herb<br />

But now, all I do disperse the verb<br />

And like a nerd i can make you say, "He's superb"<br />

Word is perfect, never ever shall you misinterpret<br />

I move styles like bowels so now you know i'm worth it<br />

Direct from Philly, the lands where niggas scheme<br />

So you know I got the sheen in my gleam<br />

<br />

Chorus
