The Roots - Step Into the Realm lyrics

Step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart

Yo, I walk across this world that's deceptive
Beats are perfected, the ghetto's infested
With more destruction, my vocal eruption
Was speaking 'bout corruption
With no introduction
Approach me with caution cause I spark losses
M-Illatant the rap arson, marchin'
Leaving niggas stiff like I'm starchin'
Departin'
Hollywood Sambos are jokes just like Martin
I'm the type of nigga that belongs in a ward
With a mic and a cord
To hold your head with a sword
Self-proclaimed lames calling theyselves bold
They shall be floored when the claps applaud
If this the point of life when I can’t afford
Then I have to get sheist and I deal in fraud
Now back to the topic of the rap philosopher
With more drama than a soap opera
Who stops the propaganda
The hot block commander
Putting a halt to all
The backtalk and slander
Warn every challenger about the silencer
Muzzle in your mouth for the
Days that's on the calendar

Step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart

I'm from the valley of the heavy heads
Watch the ghetto pre-medical
Undergrads and steady red faces of stone
Eyes are crevices
Life like a double negative
Philly criminal, I rhyme my dirt
Tariq already did
Building this Fifth foundation
In the wilderness
Thoughtless, trespass and enter
Thought's fortress
Limitless interest, paid to the order of the
Cypher slaughterer
My mic slapping you senseless
Defenseless, niggas never moving me inches
The beat Fifth, invisible in the trenches
Aficionado, awesome Hip-Hop drug problem
Fuck stardom and chickens up in Gotham
Poltergeist, slit or choke the mic
'til it scream to me, "Stop that"
Cash we conveniently got that
I stroll through your scenery cocked back
Me and Hot Mack, the '98
El Dorado Cadillac Jacks

Step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart step into the realm
You're bound to get caught
And from this worldly life
You'll soon depart
