The Roots

The Roots - Rhymes And Ammo (Remix) lyrics

rate me

A'yo when I say pump that, y'all say shit up

Pump that! {Shit up} Pump that! {Shit up}

When I say stand up, y'all say get up

Stand up! {Get Up} Stand up! {Get Up}

When I say rise up, y'all say now

Rise up! {Now} Rise up! {Now}

When I say lick a shot, say blaow

Lick a shot! {Blaow!) Lick a shot! {Blaow! }

Everybody on they jawns

Cartoons is hardcore porn

It ain't no afterschool paper routes, mowin lawns

Kids got backpacks full of yayo and heron

Coming to school shootin up the auditorium

Aiyyo it's anthrax maniacs on the TV

The least of y'all worries should be Thought's CD

The chairman of the board coppin twice weekly

They done caught the minister with a pork B-L-T

If my shit ain't hot, it probly try to drive me

Psyhce, it's somethin I can never let myself see

Can't see, I'm thorough-bread, nothin fancy

The maker, no matter what the circumstance be

It's the principle, pillowcase full of nickel

Smacked like I'm?, leave him crippled

Keep talkin greasey I'm a big lip you

Aiyyo your man'll can get slid with you

You and the squad takin to galoshes

I hold the engineer for hostage

And spit from a dirty cartridge

It's L for whoever try to front on Thought's shit

I'm sendin them goons to your mom's apartment

Yo!

A'yo when I say pump that, y'all say shit up

Pump that! {Shit up} Pump that! {Shit up}

When I say stand up, y'all say get up

Stand up! {Get Up} Stand up! {Get Up}

When I say rise up, y'all say now

Rise up! {Now} Rise up! {Now}

When I say lick a shot, say blaow

Lick a shot! {Blaow!) Lick a shot! {Blaow! }

Aiyyo, countries at war, little kids cry rape

Goddammit, the ghetto is a Planet Of The Apes

Massive meltdown bringing the red tape

The cinder blocks? shoos? at the bottom of the lake

I'm from the city of the sinners state of the art

You should know book and the pen for making a mark

I love the game clobber lane hit him with the gutter slang

Your brother's insane but I'm another thang

The track bang like your baby mother very hardly

To put it to y'all chumps so corny

My name: Black Thought the one person army

All the intellectuals and the thugs adore me

My lyrical range from complex to strange

It's wrecking your brain when the rhymes? to change

Hip hop fiends tapping their arm to catch a vein

MC's scared to death wishing I never came

A'yo when I say pump that, y'all say shit up

Pump that! {Shit up} Pump that! {Shit up}

When I say stand up, y'all say get up

Stand up! {Get Up} Stand up! {Get Up}

When I say rise up, y'all say now

Rise up! {Now} Rise up! {Now}

When I say lick a shot, say blaow

Lick a shot! {Blaow!) Lick a shot! {Blaow! }

Kweli, sittin back in the cut like Reese (Come on!)

In a constant peace, call me fantastic like I cut the grease

Baracudas movin and canoein sippin amaretto

I'm a ruler of my temple, what I do to instrumentals

Instrumentals is the development of these niggas mentals

Tears in your eyes like this moment is sentimental

Your fundamentally floored, philosophically bored

Disturbed like the eighth floor of your hospital ward

You've GOT to appoint niggas to raise the bar (Yes)

Muslims praise Allah, Christians praise the God

Rastas, they say Jah

They find a way to rhyme with the pallet like fine wine

And make you say ahhh

Guess who's back? The game needed improvement (Uh)

Can't fit the bullshit no more, you sound stupid

I'm a shark in the water with constant movement

Influenced by music since a truant yo

This is how we do it yo

When I say pump that, y'all say shit up

Pump that! {Shit up} Pump that! {Shit up}

When I say stand up, y'all say get up

Stand up! {Get Up} Stand up! {Get Up}

When I say rise up, y'all say now

Rise up! {Now} Rise up! {Now}

When I say lick a shot, say blaow

Lick a shot! {Blaow!) Lick a shot! {Blaow! }

Lick a shot! {Blaow! }
