The Roots - The Spark lyrics

Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
Yo, the mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit

Look, akh
I walk around a little edgy already
Y'all MC's come into my face
But my aim's steady
M-Illatant is skilled in most strategic plan
I float across seas and breeze across land
Standing, in these thoughts of murder within
Destructor of this world that's


Corrupted with sin
I'm always hitting, to leave MC's guessing
For any transgression, in my perimeter
There will be a blessing
And your explicit intoxicated
Buddha session, to stop stressing
Me with the madness
Putting niggas on my had list
No sadness is felt
You shuffled and your cards get dealt
Jim Carrey-ass niggas start to melt
Impact like a buckle being swung
From off a belt any help for shelter
When in the realms of a welter
My weight will tilt ya
Hold alignments and change your filter
My attitude a product of society
So sometimes, for gratitude
You know you can't rely on me
Niggas eyeing me with looks of they anxiety
Wondering what's in my heart
Velocity or piety
Yo, it depends on which one
You bring to surface at times, I get trife
But what! To worship is my purpose
Malik B blend with the tree, to spot an enemy
You clogging me up, cat
Now vacate the vicinity

Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
Yo, the mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit

I'm symbolic to a ballot, it's Abdul Malik
Don't approach with bullshit I'm quick
To call it invalid
Route through your district
We keep it simplistic
No need for the rapper to talk
Put it on halt
Show me the vault or the safe
'cause I'm on the paper chase
Wade through route states for 'bout
Thirty down my waist i'm tryna get it these
Rain-bottling thoughts become acidic
With one in the chamber
Ready to aim and spit it
A girlfriend and teammate
Million cash just split it
I take what you got to give
'cause I got to live
The last hour, I bet your ass you wax sour
Might act up, but I still can pass Da'wah
I'm using new ways to try
To reach these better days
Instead of tryna take you under
I just make you wonder
I still fast, make salaat, and pay zakaat
I didn't make Hajj yet
But that's my next project
Living two lives: one of turn
And one with true lies keeping up hope
Knowing He's answering to my du'as
In the quarters, living modest with my nigga
Trotter i circle my foes like a
Tawaf around the Kaaba
I used to live life like it was no mañana
Now, I'm treating every breath like
It was Your Honor
M-Illa-tillatant with the Fifth that stand
Firm like a pillar i'm IN T-L like Manila

Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
Yo, the mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo, the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
The eyes that I see with
Yo, the mouth that I talk with
The terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit

This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
