The Roots - You Don't See Us lyrics

Uh, what, what, yo yo P 5 D uncut
Check it out, yo yo, S P uncut
Yo yo, what P-5-D uncut, yeah
Yeah it's that Philly shit
Yo yo, check it out, yo yo

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check
You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

Mesmerizing, state of the art caffeine


It's over head like Omniverse screen
I'm not the average savage that curse queens
I'm something from his worst dreams

First we handling first things
I'm subsurface unseen
Grat'll hold planet by purse strings
MC's are earthlings, not built to hurt things
Speakin' the words of weaklings
Nothin' but sweet things

Man each world, it ain't no time to recline
Act up, get clapped up, my mind is the nine
Shine like jewels that spark
Swimmin' wit sharks
Never caught speakin' to NARC's
That's weak in the parks

I'm the type to sit back
And analyze the prize
Grip it up and flee the
Scene wit a different disguise
Take a detour, I be all that I can be whore
Talkin' to this bitch life
Had to make her my wife

Live twice, got seven more lives to live
I'm all out
Takin' things to the fullest extent
Help me get it down and we
Can split one hundred percent
Run a rapper through a maze like a experiment
Word up, you know the legendary Roots crew
Yo

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

The Raw Dice rise like a
Creature from out the swamp
Wit my blood-thirsty clergy that's on
The hunt for conk who pumps your heart
I made you wanna rhyme from the start
You should be more alert
Then you wouldn't get hurt

Get off your horse and on your P's and beware
Of images you seein, did deceiving
You're scared and even more shook up than
The scenes that's near i'm Dice Raw
Sting the inside of your mouth
Like a cold sore

Who wanna piece, well it's Round One
Let's begin' i got a gun that's don't bust
It just suck niggas in
I got shit that'll have you
Beggin' me to shoot ya
I'm the professor, you rock a dunce cap
Go get a tutor

Yo, okay computer, Radiohead's knock to the
Future Shock like Kurtis, at your service
None other than
The Fifth governing playin' the cut again
Y'all clueless to what the fuck is up again

Yo, hard times and sufferin'
What, my peoples in the crevices strugglin'
'Nuff of them? Untie? soldier thespian
But, I'm from the next E-on
Supreme being that's unseen for MC'n

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

Yo, they all around me 'round me, on my head
They got a bounty
I'm tryin' to get this bell up
So I can flee your county
Triple-six, come in my mix
Flood it wit tricks
I'm sharper than rough spoons for icepicks

Niggas price bricks till dawn
If the money is long
Cats who play strong will inhale
Then go play bong you wrong son
You thought I wasn't droppin' a ton
Sit and think about the way
I wanna tally a sum

Aiyyo I sneakfully snuck up from
Behind and got you
From over there in them bushes
I chilled and watched you
Dancin' all dolly as you pussy for them folly
I knock you out wit one punch
From me you been Ali-ed

I float like hovercrafts and
Sting like vaccinations
When my name said out loud
You'll lose your concentration
Dice Raw, D I C E R A W, you wanna take it
Otherwise, fuck you gon' do?

That's what I thought, nada, nothing, caput
Zero rough as sandpaper but still
Smooth as a tiptoe raw's takin' over
Baby don't tell me you ain't know
A lot of kids can rap but
You fuckin' wit the pros

Namsayin', y'all know the
Legendary Roots crew, it's like

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check

You don't see us but we see you
You stuck on sleep, get on your P's and Q's
'Cuz you will get crept, wit no discrept
You know the rep, we keep the flows in check
