Roots - Rising Up lyrics
rate meYesterday I saw a B-girl crying, <br />
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying<br />
I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long…<br />
So I told her I got something you've been waiting for, I got something you've been waiting for<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that<br />
The radio's been playing the same song all day long…<br />
So get your glass lift it up in the toast position<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta get it<br />
Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it<br />
You know me and my whole squad we so committed<br />
We not the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it<br />
We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta nigga<br />
Well I'm a downtown shoota who that? <br />
The crown ruler is back<br />
He congruent to the shape of a mack<br />
Look how I do it yo I'm takin you back<br />
This how you rise down to the foundation how sacred is that? I'm from the number one place on the map<br />
The generational gap with yet another sensational track<br />
And we don't stress for nothing I just press the button<br />
It's as simple as just makin it hap<br />
To all the frauds stop fakin relax<br />
And to the broads if you cakin<br />
Then clap then shake it without breakin your back<br />
I know the world been waitin for that you been aching fa that<br />
Cause what they playin on the station is wack<br />
And I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress<br />
The best is that which I accept and nothing less<br />
My stacks is grotesque my squad is so fresh<br />
You know it's Black Thought and your boy the Bro Quest, But…<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying<br />
I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long…<br />
So get your glass lift it up and in toast position<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta get it<br />
Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it<br />
You know me and my whole squad we so committed<br />
We got the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it<br />
We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it<br />
You getting paper like John Travolta nigga so lets go…<br />
<br />
Hip-Hop aint dead casue the pulse is in us<br />
I got the everclear flow they mimosa wit it<br />
We are the hope of the culture they posed to listen<br />
And I'm posed ta pivot like I'm a forward in the league, I'm oden wit it<br />
Yet don't owe them niggaz nottin but potent lyrics<br />
But if you aint gotta dance they revoke your spinnin<br />
So good rappers aint eatin they olsen twinin<br />
But I'm so committed, they have grown familiar<br />
With the counterfit hitters they soso wit it but they a sosa wit it.<br />
They Mark McGuire wit the writtin I'm Rodriguez<br />
On the road to riches this is the fork I'm hittin<br />
This is the trial and error era no co defendant<br />
I push the seed every time like I'm Cody wit it<br />
I said they one hit wonders pneumonia to us<br />
I don't know you niggas hit the road my nigga<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying<br />
I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long…<br />
So get your glass lift it up and in toast position<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta get it<br />
Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it<br />
You know me and my whole squad we so committed<br />
We got the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it<br />
We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it<br />
You getting paper like John Travolta nigga so lets go…<br />
<br />
Where my grimey figures at? look lively addressing the captain<br />
Show me where your first impression is at<br />
And where your dedication to the true profession is at<br />
How you laugh answer me what kind of question is that<br />
I'll show you where my rare essence is at the adolescence of rap<br />
The real muscle in the message of that<br />
My name trouble I'm a blessin to rap<br />
And you can check my stats cause worldwide they attesting to that<br />
So nigga listen you can probably learn a lesson perhaps<br />
How I'm like bobby DeNiro Joe Pesc and them cats<br />
Am I the unsung hero oh yes if you askin anybody that's aware of the classics<br />
They'll tell you I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress<br />
The best is that which I accept and nothing less<br />
My stacks is grotesque my squad? so fresh<br />
You know it's Black Thought and your boy the BroQuest, But…<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying<br />
I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long…<br />
So get your glass lift it up in the toast position<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta get it<br />
Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it<br />
You know me and my whole squad we so committed<br />
We not the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it<br />
We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it<br />
We getting paper like John Travolta nigga! sv so lets go…
