Thought@Work - The Roots
Written by：Ahmir Questlove' Thompson/Leonard Hubbard/James Gray/Benjamin Kenney
Yo where the freaks at lookin' at me
You wanna see black then jump on it
And to the chumps who think they might want it
I might spot your ride and dump on it
And send a couple of boys to that corner of yours
And role out with a n**ga slumped on it
You see black fall back son
Me and shock up in a black regal no insurance
We like D E A serving warrants
So tell the freaks you know to stop whorin'
We gon' grab the mics and get 'em off the wall
So e'rybody in here can stop snorin'
Yo where the safe money unlock it pull it out your pocket
Ben Banniker Bay with the Al Morrocan
Black thought on capitals like the sovereign
Girls get your eyes back up out the sockets
Focus flawless New York to Europe
To lands where my feet ain't even touch the soil yet
What a movement the rap solution
It thumps so hard we got 'em world wide usin' them
Tracks from black for satisfaction
The role of captain played by Samuel L Jackson
Yo ill insanity that's cold and morbid
But when I'm in your orbit your soul absorb it
A real raw n**ga won't fold or forfeit
A thorough bred gonna enforce it
Tariq's where the beats at
And where the people out their seats at
For what 'cause y'all on it
I'm like Aqua man and Brown Hornet
I'm like Imhotep but don't flaunt it
Dog reintroducing Master Thespian
Ho telling est elin est emceein
F**k getting money for real get freedom
Black on the grind from A M to the P M
Splash up crash up the X 5 B M
Motive entertainment the Philly Mob we in
Weak hearts yo we not them
Waddup n***a T 3 n***a Bahtem
When the M ill get home we're gonna win
First one to fall cats with no chin
The mic the black hold remain smokin'
And ladies up in the place is wide open
For real know I'm talking about
Pull it out your pocket
Pull it out your pocket
Pull it out your pocket
Check it out
You feel this sh*t soon as they throw it on
Throw it on
You feel this joint this is your favorite song
Favorite song
You at the dance hall you got it going on
It's time to show it off so throw your hands up
Check it out yo
You feel this sh*t soon as they throw it on
Throw it on
You feel this joint this is your favorite song
Favorite song
You at the dance hall you got it going on
It's time to show it off yall n**gas know what's up
Yo here go the rapper of the year year of the rap
Come from South Philly where the hammers are clapped huh
Violate and you will answer to black
You a thug not really there's the answer to that
Lee ya boxed silly with the hands skill attack
Cancel your check flip dismantle your trap huh
Wanna pack can't handle your strap
You a schmuck type shoot your man in the back
Meanwhile I'm outstanding and I'm outspoken
Wild out take fools out without joking
If I run out of shots I'm going out poking
On a date with sis we going out stroking
And the shot is fantastic
The fantastic is the romantic
And to the freaks in the house if you're ready to bounce
We can go to the flat then get tantric
Yeah you pronounce the Tariq any questions
Street hip hop I bring forth the essence
You see pulling up five deep
With nothing but dimes inside of my jeep
I'm not arguing to get in V I P cocksucker prick
Suck a dick I'ma floss for the f**k of it
Girls say the baw black be on some other sh*t
N**ga talk like you work for the government
My words worth like Barnes Noble
Spit hot flames that'll harm your vocal
Spit thought name I'm a bomb your local
Neighborness for a ten mile radius
Well every ghetto craving this new anthem
My brain unstable and I'm just too handsome
I bang with the best around
Who can test the ground when I finesse the sound
Here come the controller
You feel this sh*t soon as they throw it on
Throw it on
You feel this joint this is your new favorite song
You at the dance hall you got it going on
It's time to show it off so throw your hands up
Check it out yo
You feel this sh*t soon as they throw it on
Throw it on
You feel this joint this is your favorite song
You at the dance hall it's time to show it off
You got it going on y'all n**gas know what's up
Get it work

Get it work get up come on
