The Roots - Leonard I-V lyrics

From The Never Never Tunnels via satellite
Ceremonies be commencing in the candlelight
Yo is I is up in the res-in-iduals tonight?
Absolutely because I'm the kid
That's on the mic
And I believe it's destiny that I got put
In a position to throw lyrics like a shotput
Yo no matter the circumstance
Thought can always make you dance
Like you got the heebie-jeebies or a hotfoot
The bass is low on the meter, less than zero
So while I'm sinning you be
Spinning like a planet
Yo if you dig the shit
I'm sayin you'll be deeper
Wish for little and your
Wishes shall be granted
We plant the seeds y'all
To grow The Roots y'all
And mad knowledge I got, from the archives
But now I got a crazy fat question:
Whatever happened to Leonard Parts
One to Five?

Why'd you ask me that question?
(I don't know)
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go?
Why'd you ask me that question?
(I don't know) word, uhh, eah
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go

Chariot, Chariot, come swing low -be
Cause it's on a lower level that I swing low
Umm
?uestion, keeps me up, on the swing flow, he
Don't got a whole name, I call him BRO, The
Roots is comin through on your audio
For you to cut The Roots
Down I don't think so
Because the sound from the ground
Is like be -low and when the liquid kicks in
Then The Roots grow
Now my ace boom coon plus amigo
Was Shadrach Meshach and Abendago
There was a Alpha to Omega, motion, system
But, I just call them A to O
And in all states
The Roots'll rock a fat show
Because I drop art like I was Pa-blo
And Pa-blo's last name was Picasso
But as for cash flow, I don't got no
Dividends and, ends to spend on blow, yo
Where did Leonard Parts to Five go?

Why'd you ask me that question?
(I don't know)
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go?
Why'd you ask me that question?
(I don't know) word, uhh, eah
Where did Leonard Parts One to Five go

Where's the third verse? Here it comes
Here it goes
The second had Oodles and Oodles of
Speaking of O's
I'm hard to sink like a Cheerio
And I speak up loud, so you can hear me yo
Is it A Tribe Called Quest? Is it the JBs?
We're Cool Like Dat
But yo we're not the DP's
It's the group The Roots
With the organic rap style
Plus the groove from the rhythmic rhyme file
Umm i'm a big fan of the Soul
But, I'm trying to get this
Roots shit in control
So I hate when people say
"Umm - you remind me of De La Soul, "
'Cause, I got a soul, of my own, and umm
Yo The Roots are taking big steps and
You can listen as we progress in
Sometimes I might come to teach a lesson
Other times it's with a crazy question like

Yo, whatever happened to Leonard
Parts One to Five?
Word up I don't know, anyway, Roots up y'know
Uhh, as we do it like this
Roots up, Roots up roots up, Roots up
Roots up, Roots up roots up, Roots up
Roots up up, Roots up-up
Roots up, Roots up-up roots up, Roots up-up
Roots up, Roots Up From the Ground
Roots up, Roots up with the sound
Roots up, Roots Up From the Ground
Roots up, Roots gettin on down
Roots up, dig it
Roots up y'all, Roots up y'all
Roots is up Roots is up Roots is up y'all
Roots is up y'all, Roots is up y'all
Roots is up Roots is up Roots is up y'all
Roots is up
