[The Roots - Concerto of The Desperado lyrics]
The Concerto of The Desperado
R double-O T-S, check the flow
If you know like I know
Then you know the motto
That's all the fraud shit gots to go
Yo, in the glow of the moon
Over the melancholy metro
My poetry is set like a UFO
The maestro, the lyricist concerto
My physical play the role of a vessel
The level of my lyrics law manifesto
My thoughts wrestle and attack
With the killer instincts
Of a gorilla stronger than
Samson without Delilah
My soliloquy profess my ability to just
Stimulate you like the best sensimilla
The Halflife of Illadel' LP, no filler
Proceed hitherin' is my death
I will blow your tower to smithe-
Reens, the fiends catch another rhyme river
Deeper than the meditations of
A Hindu worshiper
Unorthodox Hip-Hop minister
Than a Serengeti cheetah
My thought's swifter
You lose your balance when the sound hit's ya
So check for the Fifth Militia
A poet's under pressure
Stressin' that you get the picture (Click)
Even if it mean you gotta
Hang over the banister
I pull a microphone on any pistol brandisher
And take advantage of ya
Crew ‘cause you're amateur
Styles gunnin' down your sound
Man and manager
What! This how we do it in the year of '96
With this deliberate attack on
Pointless rap shit
Breakin' MC's down to fraction
Tell your squadron
It's time to go to war, Respond
React once more
The Concerto of The Desperado
R double-O T-S, check the flow
If you know like I know
Then you know the motto
And that's all the fake shit gots to go
A yo, it’s The Concerto of The Desperado
R double-O T-S, check the flow
If you know like I know
Then you know the motto
That's all the fraud shit gots to go
Check it the implorer, the universe explorer
Treat MC's like the cities
Of Sodom and Gomorrah
Leavin' these niggas open like
The box of Pandora
With styles that's Newer than the World Order
Approximately 3
4 of y'all are water, I straight deport ya
Then orchestrate your torture with
Roots of culture
The pil-grimage to the line of
Scrimmage up against your image
Where life is a heist
And the strong get a percentage
It's ill as a war, and within it
I'm the Lieutenant
That surrounds you like a peninsula
To snatch the pennant
You fold like Japan's futons and fans
While I design a plan to make
A rapper step like a pedestri-an
I crush a mount-ain into grains of sand
Your pain stains the hand that held
The mic inserted to the stand
The Desperado that refuse to follow
The Fifth aficionado break you up
Into parts like vibrato
I'm deep like the dark of the night
Niggas is sweet and sound silly when
They talk on the mic
They use the simple back-and-forth
The same old rhythm that's plain
I'd rather UltraMagnetize your brain
It's the Hip-Hop purist
That leave you lost like a
Tourist inside the chorus
Niggas is bringin' nothin' for us
As we're breakin' 'em down to fraction
Tell your squadron
It's time to go to war, Respond
React once more
The Concerto of The Desperado
R double-O T-S, check the flow
If you know like I know
Then you know the motto
And that’s the fake shit gots to go
Yo! It's The Concerto of The Desperado
R double-O T-S, check the flow
If you know like I know
Then you know the motto
That's all the fraud shit gots to go, yo!
