The Roots - Rising Down lyrics

rate me

Hello hello hello hello...

Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys

Entrances exits vestibules and alleys

Winding roads that test the firm nerve

Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve

The engine oil purr lights flash to a blur

Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurrr

Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising

Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds

Blindin staring at lights till they cryin

Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin

Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass

Ingredients influential on your ways and acts

Zero tolerance to raise the tax

It don't matter how your gates is latched

You ain't safe from the danger jack

Made it way before they made the map

Or a GPS this is DEF leader

I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road

Hello hello hello hello...

You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control

Hello hello hello hello...

Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone

Hello hello hello hello...

Northside nigga Southside

Hello hello hello hello...

Shits poppin off Worldwide

Hello hello hello hello...

Between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin off it's axis

Got mother nature doin back flips the natural disasters

It's like 80 degrees in Alaska you in trouble if u not an Onasis

It ain't hard to tell that the conditions is drastic

Just turn on the telly check for the news flashin

How you want it bagged paper or plastic

Lost in translation or just lost in traffic

Yo I don't wanna floss I done lost my passion

And I ant trying to climb yo I lost my traction

They makin me break my contents under pressure

Do not shake I'm workin while the boss relaxin

Here come Mr. tax man he leavin a fraction give me back some

Matter fact next pay check it's like that son

I'll f**k around and have to hurt a few men

They probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend hello

I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road

Hello hello hello hello...

You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control

Hello hello hello hello...

Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone

Hello hello hello hello...

Northside nigga Southside

Hello hello hello hello...

Shits poppin off Worldwide

Hello hello hello hello...

Should I say hello or should I say that hell is low

And my nigga are niggero I'm an African American

They sell drugs in the hood but the man he move the medicine

He'll prescribe you Augmen for everything

A little stuffy nose tell you get some Claritin

You know I'm hip to it and it's hard to claim the land

When my great great great grands were shipped to it

Look at technology they call it downloading

I call it downsizing somebody follow me

Does a computer chip have an astrology

And when it f**k up could it give you an apology

Could it

Should it say hello or should it say goodbye

Try to understand how smart and how hood am I, It don't matter though

Until we learn that the world don't turn right, we all oughta the scatter though

I know where I'm goin even when it's dark and being led down that road

Hello hello hello hello...

You don't see that somethings wrong earth's spinnin outta control

Hello hello hello hello...

Everything's for sale even souls someone get God on the phone

Hello hello hello hello...

Northside nigga Southside

Hello hello hello hello...

Shits poppin off Worldwide

Hello hello hello hello...
