[Black Thought]
3
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
4
My vocal's a passport that never expire
5
Crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire
6
Screamin out "The Roots" while I balance wit the wire
7
Yo, expert in this profession, the session
8
In 1987, I linked up wit the ?uestion
9
Eleven years later we shared crop wit Geffen
10
In musical hell, but hip-hop forever heaven
11
My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven
12
This foul world so filled of shit it like a clogged up colon
13
Swollen wit minds that got stolen
14
Fake-ass cops, uncontrollable patrolmen
15
Torture, blood flow like bodies of water
16
Fathers sexually assaultin they own daughter
17
Out of sync, outta order like a puzzle
18
In the land of the unseen hand that hold juggle
19
In a Game of Life, yo it's hard to roll a double
20
Tryin times, take lives and separate couples
21
Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms "Fuck you"
22
Under they breath, livin in the last times left
23
Peep the imagery ?strep?, across the sky like a canvas
24
And we're the artists beneath vigorous rough strokes of darkness
25
Time to set it off, let's spark this
26
Switzerland, LET'S SPARK THIS!!

34
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
35
You couldn't have a clue, it's about to transpire
36
The books I buy live arms ?I wire?
37
The Fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir
38
We ex-plore the whole states plus record
39
In flight buds, trip that was a prisoner in war
40
Four-four the corridor, seal it, no floor
41
But I could see the drop was a mile aboard
42
To the bottom, electrical shock for rhymes
43
I said "I don't got em", guess it kinda presented a problem
44
When I understood, they said "Let him go"
45
I woke, during a center to London ?
46
And now wit a past, fuckin wit border patrol
47
I'm findin it out, I'm leakin wit my people
48
Hit the studio, spread this information
49
In daze of frustration fogged the education
50
>From Illa-Fifth to Switzerland destination
51
The Roots du journ, go check the translation
52
The dictionary of devout topics, far from ebonics

While The Roots Crew smoke weed

They go *Thought starts humming and Scratch does his thing*

*Crowd cheers*
