The Roots
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
2
My vocal's a passport that never expire
3
Crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire
4
Screamin' out "the roots" while I balance wit the wire
5
Yo, expert in this profession, the session
6
In 1987, I linked up wit the question
7
Eleven years later we shared crop wit Geffen
8
In musical hell, but hip-hop forever heaven
9
My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven
10
This foul world so filled of shit it like a clogged up colon
11
Swollen wit minds that got stolen
12
Fake-ass cops, uncontrollable patrolmen
13
Torture, blood flow like bodies of water
14
Fathers sexually assaultin' they own daughter
15
Out of sync, outta order like a puzzle
16
In the land of the unseen hand that hold juggle
17
In a game of life, yo it's hard to roll a double
18
Tryin' times, take lives and separate couples
19
Kids thinkin' they grown, tellin' they moms "fuck you"
20
Under they breath, livin' in the last times left
21
Peep the imagery stretch across the sky like a canvas
22
And we're the artists beneath vigorous rough strokes of darkness
23
Time to set it off, let's spark this
24
Switzerland, let's spark this!!
25
We are the ultimate (rock-rockin' it)
26
We are the ultimate (rock-rockin' it)
27
We are the ultimate, rock-rockin' it, rock-rockin' it, rock-rockin' it
28
We are the ultimate (rock-rockin' it)
29
We are the ultimate louder! (rock-rockin' it)
30
We are the ultimate
31
(Rock-rockin' it) c'mon (rock-rockin'' it) c'mon (rock-rockin' it)
32
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
33
You couldn't have a clue, it's about to transpire
34
The books I buy live arms ?I wire?
35
The fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir
36
We explore the whole states plus record
37
In flight buds, trip that was a prisoner in war
38
Four-four the corridor, seal it, no floor
39
But I could see the drop was a mile aboard
40
To the bottom, electrical shock for rhymes
41
I said "I don't got em", guess it kinda presented a problem
42
When I understood, they said "let him go"
43
I woke, during a center to London-Heathrow
44
And now wit a past, fuckin' wit border patrol
45
I'm findin' it out, I'm leakin' wit my people
46
Hit the studio, spread this information
47
In daze of frustration fogged the education
48
From illa-fifth to switzerland destination
49
The roots du journ, go check the translation
50
The dictionary of devout topics, far from Ebonics
51
The fifth dynast, they can't stop it
52
Yo Zurich y'all keep it tight heed
53
While the roots crew smoke weed
54
Yo, we are the ultimate (rock-rockin' it)
55
We are the ultimate, say what? (rock-rockin' it)
56
We are the ultimate, c'mon
57
(Rock-rockin' it) c'mon c'mon rock-rockin' it, rock-rockin' it
58
We are the ultimate (rock-rockin it)
59
We are the ultimate louder (rock-rockin' it)
60
We are the ultimate louder
61
(Rock-rockin' it) c'mon rock-rockin' it, rock-rockin' it
