Roots - Swept Away lyrics

rate me

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away (4X)<br />

<br />

[Malik B]<br />

The rhythm just sways, and like a sorceress I slays<br />

Foes, and ri-vals, who wanna come<br />

This way, they, better pay attention<br />

Or a penchant not to mention suspension<br />

From the microphone, plus the tension<br />

Trey-eight oh's will vacate those<br />

If there's drama with my henchmen<br />

So lamp to my man Mussolini<br />

Go get your whole staff, call the calf<br />

Cause half-and-half's couldn't cream me<br />

The lyrics make your head knock<br />

Malik B and BlackThought, the dreadlock<br />

Mannn, transss-gressin<br />

You'll catch lead I, crushin<br />

Poundin on the drums like King Kong<br />

We can ring your bellll, ding-dong!<br />

I styles with my vocab-ulary<br />

The Roots the one to call your ultra adversary<br />

Now you're all desert cause I'ma serv ya like a tray<br />

To meet your doom Malik's the boom so you get swept away<br />

<br />

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away (4X)<br />

<br />

[BlackThought]<br />

Yo, hello everybody do I need introduct'<br />

I be the mic mercenary very un.. clear<br />

To your ear the exquisite pattern that you hear<br />

It's known to be Black Butta Baby<br />

Crazy cardiac my attack on any fat rhythm<br />

That I capture kid I snatch the mic from tykes<br />

While I proceed.. and continue.. to tend to<br />

Business, cause this is, how I do<br />

I'm insane, and go against the grain like freight<br />

Never on no nigga dick, cause I'm just too hip<br />

Plus I rest where niggaz pack and never act<br />

Other than ill, shit is real in Phy-double<br />

So if you want trouble let's stomp<br />

My mission is to flip on comp<br />

You might aspire to be flyer than I, you must pay<br />

Your dues while I bruise niggaz new for the day<br />

Shall be swept away<br />

<br />

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away (3X)<br />

MC's who slept for days, must be... I'm on a mission<br />

<br />

.....: There's somethin goin on :..... (refrain repeats)
