the roots – boom! lyrics

[verse 1]
hold your flix, i’m not for the photo op’s
it’s black, code name yaphet kotto ock
my twist like a ratchet in an auto shop
since granddaddy old desoto stopped and he got the caddie
i been gladly servin, any y’all cats wanna act determined
spit pesticides for rats and vermin
seem like none of y’all chumps is learning
y’all hopeless, and i’m a little better than dopest
far from a brand new kid to show biz
tryna hold on, maintain my focus
coming out the room with a cloud of smoke of dro and
with the punches
i survive and rock
cause i keep the crowd alive
and the texture of my voice
is course and kind of ho-rs- and cut
like i’m throwing a thousand knives

[hook]
party people, gather round
what we have here is a brand new sound
reach for my waist you hit the ground
you better duck when that awful sound goes…
(boom, boom, boom, boom)
yeah! thats what’s happenin in the parking lot
(boom, boom, boom, boom)
thats whats happening on stage

[verse 2]
the man at hand that rule the school
and reach and teach the blind and find a way from a to z
and be the most to boast i’m load and proud
the game and reign that remain
the heat is on so feel the fire come off the empire or the
more higher level of depth one step beyond dope
to suckers all scope and hope to cope but nope
cause i could never let ’em on top of me
i play ’em out like a game of monopoly
let it speed around the board like an astro
then send ’em to jail for trying to p-ss go
shaking ’em up, breaking ’em up, taking no stuff
but it still ain’t loud enough
so questlove let the fire roast
so i can flow and we can k!ll the whole show cause

[verse 3]
i’m live
design a finer rhyme that’s right on time
one step beyond and not behind the line
that seperates thought from divine
you can take it as a caution, or a warning sign
look for antonyms, words i’m sending em
h0m-nyms, synonyms good like m&ms
you know the time when it’s riq geez slicing
i turn a mic’s last name into tyson
my brain like a factory constantly creating
materials st-tch by st-tch for decoration
my lyrics one fabric the beat is a lining
my p-ssion of rhyming is fashion designing
now it get sorted cause people wanna sport it ya bought it
if you didn’t then you couldn’t afford it
poetry full of surprises it’s like a game show
and my brain go
i do my thing yo

[hook]
party people, gather round
what we have here is a brand new sound
reach for my waist you hit the ground
you better duck when that awful sound goes…
(boom, boom, boom, boom)
yeah! thats what’s happening in the parking lot
(boom, boom, boom, boom)
thats whats happenin on stage
