The Roots - 75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction) lyrics

rate me

I'm from the land of them straight razor face beard niggas

With hammers on their waist, yeah, waste rare niggas

And I race scared niggas, them snake head niggas

That take care of niggas who don't break bread with us

Niggas make dead niggas and hate black niggas

Brown niggas hide yellow niggas and them red niggas

No telling when the bullet coming, be prepared niggas

Cause when it do it coming land, sea and air niggas

That's everywhere niggas, Am I the muthafucking legendary?

Yeah niggas, make it very clear niggas

Been looking at y'all in my rearview

Mirror niggas want to be a millionaire, I'm already there niggas

I'm the definiere nigga, a bear taking more than my share

Lookee here, yeah, I know it ain't fair nigga

Neither is a bar even with a hair trigger

Haystack, try and find a needle up in there nigga

Leave you up in there nigga, show me the puppet

That don't need a puppeteer nigga, shed another tear nigga

I'm in the field with a shield and a spear nigga

I'm in your girl with her heels in the air nigga

I am such a fair nigga, you in a battle telling

Me you not ready like you figured I'm a bear with you

I don't care nigga, you now listening to the sounds

Of the money making jam trillionaires nigga

Gentlemen of an extraordinary league

You never see me blowing on no ordinary weed

What I'm smoking ain't a product of no ordinary seed

Your boy is heavy treed, I'm feeling merry

As a Tyler Perry scene, that monetary gang green

We tried to launder the cash and never came clean

So now I'm in the story with all the cats before me

And smoke purgatory for doing the same thing

And them niggas ain't change, them niggas can't change

Their moms shake their heads saying it's such a dang shame

? to the buck, did another dang plan

My stage and my government ain't the same name

I'm a rock star, love it that my wallet chain hang

I'm a modern day saint; I'm a modern day king

My definition I can finally explain

Cold smooth like that dud Sean Connery was playing

I just got to be the man, I'm the father figure and

When I spit it's something like a psychology exam

If you stand where I stood, you could probably understand

How that mic feeling like a million dollars in my hand

It's the silence of the lamb, go and cop another gram

And twist with your zanny, work your set, work it down

What's your net working plan? You better look alive

Cause them niggas outside looking desperate again nigga

And the blunts and liquor killing our lungs and liver

The asthmatic drug addict I function with it

I put a rapper in a hole where the dust will sit

For spitting played out patterns that once was hitting

I got news for you all, let me show you how to ball

See the legendary fall? I ain't heard of that

Y'all niggas is off the wall like Aresnio Hall

I'm a put you right back where the dirt is at

450 fahrenheit on the thermostat

Somebody starving like a white girl? that

But she not a earner yet, she couldn't put in no work,

Not earning that, the black microphone murder vet

I'm in a class of my own,

If I got beef with you, you the last one to know

I arrive on time, I'm never fashionable

You late, I'm already international-able

I done toured to Berlin, banged in Beijing

You never seen nothing can't say the same thing

Tell somebody Black Thought, yeah you know the name ring

So give him the game ring for bringing what them niggas can't bring

My hustle is long, my muscle is strong

My man put the paper in the duffle I'm gone

Y'all still a light year from the level I'm on

Just a pawn stepping right into the head of the storm

You been warned, I will blow y'all niggas and disintegrate

I'm a rebel, renegade must stay paid
