The Roots - Swept Away lyrics
[The Roots - Swept Away lyrics]
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
The rhythm just sways
And like a sorceress I slays
Foes and rivals who wanna come this way
They better pay attention or a penchant
Not to mention suspension
From the microphone, plus detention
Trey-eight-o's will vacate those
If there's drama with my henchmen
So, lamp to my man Mussolini
Go get your whole staff, those decaf
'Cause half-and half's couldn't cream me
The lyrics make your head knock
Malik B and Black Thought, the dreadlock
Mannn, trannns-gression, you'll catch lead
I crushin'
Poundin' on the drums like King Kong
We can ring your bellll, ding dong
I styles with my vocabulary the Roots
The one you call your ultra adversary
Now, you're all desert 'cause I'mma
Serve ya like a tray
To meet your doom, Malik's the broom
So you get swept awayyyy
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
Yo, hello everybody, do I need introduct?
I be the mic mercenary
Very un-clear to your ear
The exquisite pattern that you hear
Is known to be Black Butter, baby
Crazy cardiac, my attack on any fat rhythm
That I capture, kid
I snatch the mic from tykes
While I proceed and continue to tend to
Business, kid, this is how I do
I'm insane and go against the grain like
Never on no nigga dick 'cause
I'm just too hip
Plus, I rest where niggas pack and
Never act other than ill
Shit is real in Phy double
So, if you want trouble, let's stomp
My mission is to flip on comp
You might aspire to be flyer than I
You must pay your dues
While I bruise niggas new for the day
Shall be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
There's somethings goin' on
Because there's somethin' goin' on, on
Yeah, something's goin on
Yeah, something's goin' on, on
Y'all know there's somethin' goin'
Because there's somethin' goin' on, on
She knows there's somethin' goin' on
Yeah, somethin' goin' on, on
Y'all know there's somethin' goin' on
Yeah, something's goin' on
Because there's somethin' goin' on
Yeah, y'all know what's goin' on
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
The rhythm just sways
And like a sorceress I slays
Foes and rivals who wanna come this way
They better pay attention or a penchant
Not to mention suspension
