The Roots - Stomp lyrics

rate me

(him)

It’s about flesh and blood

It’s about heart beat that beats strong

It’s about passion

That is unyielding

And I want you men to know today

It’s your hour

It is your time

It is your moment

Go get it

[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Yeah speaking of pieces of a man

Staring at a future in the creases of my hand

It reads like a final letter I’m leaving for my fam but

It’s written in language they will never understand

A late repentant

Never deviating from a plan

I drive by headed for the valley of the damned

The Wheels spin, I’m looking for a sacrificial lamb

Then roll tactics like a soldier out in the Sudan

Listen…

Was this a matter of flesh and blood

Yes it was

Does it matter who win and lose

Yes it does

It ain’t about the most blessed love

When you return to the essence

What is it back to the essence of

Greatness I wasn't in the prescence of

Cause you was fake and never measured up

You just a nigga on his regular

But how far am I ahead of ya

It just as easily coulda been me instead of ya

[Just Blaze]

We gone fight till we can’t fight no more

Right right

You can't fight no more

You gone lie down and bleed a while

You gone get up

Fight some more

Want you say it with me

Repeat it after me when I say it

We gone fight

[Verse 2: Greg Porn]

Fuck getting fuck

Immaculate conception

Now what’s beef ain’t even a question

Calico kisses, cold blood and crime tape

Flirt with death every night it’s a blind date

One night stand paybacks a bitch

Shit have you skinny dipping in a pool of your piss

Blood sweat and tears broken teeth and spit

Put the barrel in your mouth

Blow the devil a kiss

Put the knife in ya back cut down to the red meat

Daddy should’ve let me be a stain on the bed sheets

I’m one shot short of a Molotov cocktail

Kick in the door like welcome to my world

I’m an evil genius when it comes to this dumb shit

Half of the time ima keep it one hundred

Don’t play chicken when I’m driving them crazy

Get hit in the wing thigh breast or drumstick

We like
