The Roots - Swept Away lyrics

rate me

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away

The rhythm just sways, and like a sorceress I slays

foes, and ri-vals, who wanna come

this way, they, better pay attention

or a penchant not to mention suspension

from the microphone, plus the tension

Trey-eight oh's will vacate those

if there's drama with my henchmen

So lamp to my man Mussolini

Go get your whole staff, call the calf

cause half-and-half's couldn't cream me

The lyrics make your head knock

Malik B and BlackThought, the dreadlock

Mannn, transss-gressin

you'll catch lead I, crushin

poundin on the drums like King Kong

We can ring your bellll, ding-dong!

I styles with my vocab-ulary

The Roots the one to call your ultra adversary

Now you're all desert cause I'ma serv ya like a tray

to meet your doom Malik's the boom so you get swept away

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away

Yo, hello everybody do I need introduct'

I be the mic mercenary very un.. clear

to your ear the exquisite pattern that you hear

It's known to be Black Butta Baby

Crazy cardiac my attack on any fat rhythm

that I capture kid I snatch the mic from tykes

while I proceed.. and continue.. to tend to

business, cause this is, how I do

I'm insane, and go against the grain like freight

Never on no nigga dick, cause I'm just too hip

Plus I rest where niggaz pack and never act

other than ill, shit is real in Phy-double

So if you want trouble let's stomp

My mission is to flip on comp

You might aspire to be flyer than I, you must pay

your dues while I bruise niggaz new for the day

shall be swept away

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away

MC's who slept for days, must be... I'm on a mission

.....: There's somethin goin on :.....
