Roots - The Next Movement lyrics
rate me[Black Thought]<br />
C'mon.. and yes y'all<br />
You are now in tune to the sounds..<br />
Of the legendary.. foundation<br />
<br />
Yeah, you go<br />
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
You listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
<br />
Word up, we got the HOT-HOT music, The HOT MUSIC (1X)<br />
The HOT-HOT music, the HOT music (3X)<br />
<br />
Yo, one, two, one-two one-two<br />
That's how we usually start, once again it's the Thought<br />
The Dalai Lama of the mic, the prime minister Thought<br />
This directed to whoever in listening range<br />
Yo the whole state of things in the world bout to change<br />
Black rain fallin from the sky look strange<br />
The ghetto is red hot, we steppin on flames<br />
Yo, it's inflation on the price for fame<br />
And it was all the same, but then the antidote came<br />
The Black Thought, I'll syllablist, out the Fifth<br />
This heavyweight rap shit I'm about to lift<br />
LIKE, a phyllum lift up it's seed to sunlight<br />
I plug in the mic, draw like a gunfight<br />
I never use a cordless, or stand applaudless<br />
Sippin cholorophyll out of I'll silver goblets<br />
I'm like a faucet, monopoly's the object<br />
There ain't no way to cut this tap, you got ta get wet<br />
Your head is throbbin and I ain't said shit yet<br />
The Roots crew, the next movement, c'mon!<br />
<br />
And yes y'all<br />
You are now in tune to the sounds<br />
Of the legendary, foundation, check it out, uh<br />
<br />
Testin, yo, you go<br />
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
You listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
<br />
Word up, we got the HOT-HOT music, the HOT music (1X)<br />
The HOT-HOT music, the HOT music (3X)<br />
<br />
Word up, the formation of words to fit<br />
That's what I usually disturb you with<br />
A lot of rappers never heard of this, or know half the time it is<br />
You doubt the Illa-Fifth, what could you accomplish?<br />
Whether they skywriting your name, or you anonymous<br />
You be speechless, with stinging sinuses<br />
The Roots royal highnesses through your monitors<br />
I tilt my crown, then blow down a diamond kiss<br />
You need to buy a CD and stop rewindin this<br />
I'm the finalist, shinin like a rugged amethyst<br />
And at your music conference, I'm the panelist<br />
Listen close to my poetry, I examine this<br />
Like an analyst, to see if you can handle this<br />
Check it out<br />
You, got the groove, emcees<br />
Freeze, stand still, nobody move<br />
Unless you dealin with The Next Movement<br />
The P-Phi-D we be the mon-u-ment<br />
I live my life nice, but I'm not too bent<br />
You theatrical as a Broadway play, this ain't Rent<br />
One hundred percent, straight out the Basement<br />
Spreading this across a planet on some next shit<br />
How many people feelin this love music? C'mon<br />
<br />
Yo, you go<br />
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
You listeners, stop what you're doin and<br />
Set it in motion, it's the next movement<br />
<br />
Yo, we got the HOT-HOT music, the HOT music (1X)<br />
The HOT-HOT music, the HOT music (7X)
