the roots - proceed lyrics

[chrous: black thought]
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)

[verse 1: black thought]
just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away?
just think (what?)
what if you could just, just blink yourself away?
jeff x can rock the mic with tooth decay
i be the 5 foot 7, residing at the mecca
rest address in south section
used to cut cl-ss in the infinite pursuit of -ss back in ’86
easy with the chicks, i was a chocolate boy
raised in the cellar with the rhythm like ella
walking mega-trife streets to the subway where i lay
til the train stop, then a n-gga hop (hop)
used to do the pop dance to the planet rock
at the block party everybody jocked, “who, me?!”
it’s the mc sucker n-ggas envy
i got my contract in 1993 and i shall proceed

[chrous: black thought]
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall (i shall) proceed (proceed)
and continue (and continue) to rock the mic (to rock the mic)

[verse 2: black thought]
i wake up early in the morning, i mean early afternoon
break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom
i’m fly and when i die you’ll put my sh-t upon my tomb
that n-gga represented on the 28th of june
i’m representing philly on the 28th of june
i can make you feel that i’m a surreal cartoon
with my pistol in the face of hip-hop, stick it for papes
because i’m on a paper chase (say what?)
i’m on a paper chase
my timberlands are fully laced i be the mr. boogeyman
with records from 125th to j-pan
i let them play like donny hathaway and shake a hand
shake a hand
your lady tried to kick it, but i couldn’t play my man
my n-ggas is my n-ggas and she didn’t understand
i shake your hand and sh-t’ll hit the fan, just think
just think, what? what if you could, just blink, what?
blink yourself away? as i proceed

[bridge: black thought & malik b]
malik b, get on the mic, ayo, it’s too much on my mind
say what?
malik get on the mic, there’s too much on my mind

[verse 3: malik b]
johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme
f-cking with the roots, you know them n-ggas is the dime
i can make a hundred-yard line start to dash
i can make a whole lake of fish start to splash
i can make conan and the t-tans clash
and i could make metallica and guns ‘n’ roses thrash
used to smash, crash parties like i was disturbed
used to make plots against the herringbone herb
but now, all i do—disperse the verb
and like a nerd, i can make you say, “he’s superb!”
worded perfect, never ever shall you misinterpret
i move styles like bowels, so now you know i’m worth it
direct from philly, the lands where n-ggas scheme
so you know i got that sheen in my gleam

[chrous: black thought]
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
i shall proceed (proceed)
and continue to rock the mic (to rock the mic)
