The Roots - Act Too (Love Of My Life) lyrics

rate me

(feat. Common)

What?

Hip-Hop y'all, to the top y'all

Hip-Hop check it out

It's like that, and it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

We bout to take it to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the check it out

Yo, what? And it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

I'm bout to take it to the top, what?

Hip-Hop (hip-hop love)

To the top (to the top) hip-hop, check it out

It's like, word up, and it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life (of my life)

[Black Thought]

The anticipation arose as time froze

I stared off the stage with my eyes closed and dove

into the deep cosmos

The impact pushed back, the first five rows

But before the raw live shows

I remember I'se a little snot-nosed

Rockin Gazelle, goggles and Izod clothes

Learnin the ropes of ghetto survival

Peepin out the situation I had to slide through

Had to watch my back my front plus my sides too

When it came to gettin mine I ain't tryin, to argue

Sometimes I wouldn'ta made it if it wasn't for you

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life and that's true

When I was handlin the shit I had to do

It was all for you, from the door for you

Speak through you, gettin paper on tour for you

From the start, Thought was down by law for you

Used to hit up every corner store wall for you

We ripped shit, and kept it hardcore for you

I remember late nights, steady rockin the mic

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

So tell the people like that y'all (that y'all)

And it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

We bout to take it to the top..

[Common]

Yo, yo I was speakin, to my guy 'Riq and

How she was desperately seekin to Organize in a Konfusion

Usin, no protection, told H.E.R. on _Resurrection_

Caught in the Hype Williams, and lost H.E.R. direction

Gettin eight/ate in sections where I wouldn't eat H.E.R.

An under the counter love, so _Silent_-ly I _Treat_ H.E.R.

Her Daddy'll beat H.E.R., eyes all Puff-ed

In the mix on tape, niggaz had her in the buff

When we touch, it was more than just a fuck

The Police, in her I found peace (like who?)

Like Malcolm in the East

Seen H.E.R. on the streets of New York, trickin off

Tried to make a hit with H.E.R. but my dick went soft

Movin weight, losin weight, not picky - with who she choose to date

To confuse the hate, with her struggle I relate

Close to thirty, most of the niggaz she know is dirty

Havin more babies than Lauryn, she started showin early

As of late I realized, that this is H.E.R. fate

Or destiny that brings the best of me

It's like God is testin me

In _Retrospect_ I see she brought _Life_ and death to me

Peace to us collectively, live and direct when we perform

It's just coffee shop chicks and white dudes

Over H.E.R. I got into it with that nigga Ice Cube

Now the fight moved to in life, makin the right moves

Besides God and family, you my life's jewel

Like that y'all

Hip-Hop.. [echoes]

[whispered]

Take it to the top, what? Hip-Hop (hip-hip)

To the top, hip-hop (hip-hop) check it out

[Black Thought - louder]

It's like, word up, and it sounds nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life, what?

Bout to take you to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the, yo

Fifth Dynamite, and it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

I'm bout to take you to the top love

Hip-Hop, word up, to the top (to the top)

Hip-Hop, check it out

It's like that, what? And it sounds alright

Hey, cause you the love of my life

I'm bout to take you to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the, check it out

What? Yeah, and it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

Bout to take you to the top love

Hip-Hop (hip-hop) to the top (to the top) hip-hop (hip-hop)

Fifth Dynamite, and it sounds alright

Hey, cause you the love of my life

I'm bout to take you to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the, check it out, yo

Ye-yeh-yo, yo, and it sounds so nice

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

We bout to take you to the top love, hip-hop (hip-hop)

To the top (to the top) hip-hop (hip-hop)

Check it out, it's like, yeah, and it's sounds alright

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

We bout, take it to the to the to the [vocals fade]
