the roots - don't see us (live 1999) lyrics

[intro: black thought & scratch]
sh-t’s supposed to drop right there…
yeah, we got my dj, the human turntablist scratch on the 1 and 2
get wicked with it
sh-t’s supposed to drop right there…
ah yeah, freak it, freak it, freak that sh-t, freak that sh-t
sh-t’s supposed to drop right there…

[chorus: black thought]
you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on them p’s and q’s
’cause you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, keep the, yo
ayo, you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on your p’s and q’s
ayo, you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, check it out

[verse 1: black thought]
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
grab this whole planet by the purse strings
n-gg-s is earthlings, they ain’t built to hurt things
speakin’ the words of weaklings
yo, it’s like, man beats 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 weaker than clark
i’m the type to sit back and -n-lyze the prize
grip it up and flee the scene with a different disguise
make a detour, i be all that i can be on
talkin’ to this b-tch life, i made 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 a hundred percent
run a rapper through a maze like a experiment
word up, you know the legendary
y’all know the legendary, well it’s the legendary roots crew

[chorus: black thought]
you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on them p’s and q’s
because you will get crept, with 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
yo, because you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, we keep the flows in check

[verse 2: black thought rapping dice raw’s verse]
the boy dice rise like a creature from out the swamp
with 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
dice raw, sting the inside of your mouth like a cold sore
who wanna piece? well it’s round one, let’s begin
my gun, don’t bust it, just suck on in
i got sh-t that’ll have you beggin’ me to shoot ya
i’m the professor, you rock a dunce cap, though

[black thought]
ok computer, radiohead’s knock
to the future shock like curtis, at your service
none other than, the fifth government, we play the cut again
y’all clueless to what the f-ck is up again
yo, hard times and sufferin’
what, my peoples in the crevices strugglin’
’nuff of them, a toy soldier thespian
but i’m from the next e-on, supreme being that’s unseen
check it out, yo

[chorus: black thought]
you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on them p’s and q’s
yo, ayo, you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, keep them flows in check
ayo, you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on the p’s and q’s
because you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, we keep the flows in check

[verse 3: black thought rapping malik b’s verse]
they all around me, ’round me
on my head, they got a bounty
i’m tryin’ to get this bail up so i can flee your county
triple-six, come in my mix, flood it with tricks
sharper than my mic, i’m like an ice pick
and price bricks ’til dawn, if the money is long
we could play strong and inhale through old play bong
son, you wrong if you thought i wasn’t droppin’ a ton
strictly thinkin’ ’bout the way i got to tally a sum

[black thought rapping dice raw’s verse]
yo, i sneakfully snuck up from behind and got you
from over there in them bushes, i chilled and watched you
dancin’ all jolly, you p-ssy for them folly
get knocked out with one punch, from me you’ve been ali-ed
i float like hovercrafts and sting like vaccinations
my name said out loud, you’ll lose your concentration
dice raw, d-i-c-e-r-a-w, you wanna take it?
otherwise, f-ck you gon’ do?
that’s what i thought, nada, nothing, caput, zero
rough as sandpaper but still smooth as a tiptoe
the roots taking over, zurich, don’t tell me you ain’t know
a lot of kids can rap but, yo…

namsayin, y’all know the legendary
y’all know the legendary, well, it’s the m-th-f-ckin’ roots crew

[chorus: black thought]
you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on them p’s and q’s
because you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, keep the flows in check
ayo, you don’t see us, but we see you
you stuck on sleep, get on your p’s and q’s
because you will get crept, with no discrept
you know the rep, keep the flows in check
