the roots - rising down lyrics

(feat. dice raw, mos def, styles p)

h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…

[mos def]
every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys
entrances exits vestibules and alleys
winding roads that test the firm nerve
fortune or fatal behind the blind curve
the engine oil purr, lights flash to a blur
speed work through the earth make your motor go scurrr
tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising
ident-ties in crisis and conflict diamonds
blinding staring at lights ’til they cryin’
bone gristle popping from continuous grindin
grapes of wrath in a shapely gl-ss
ingredients influential on your ways and acts
zero tolerance to raise the tax
it don’t matter how your gates is latched
you ain’t safe from the danger jack
made it way before they made the map
or a gps this is def leader

[dice raw]
i know where i’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
you don’t see that somethings wrong earth’s spinnin outta control
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
everything’s for sale even souls someone get god on the phone
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
northside n-gg- southside
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
sh-ts poppin off worldwide
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…

[black thought]
between the greenhouse gases and earth spinnin off its axis
got mother nature doin back flips
the natural disasters
it’s like 80 degrees in alaska
you in trouble if you not an onasis
it ain’t hard to tell that the conditions is drastic
just turn on the telly check for the news flashin
how you want it bagged, paper or plastic?
lost in translation or just lost in traffic?
yo i don’t wanna floss i done lost my p-ssion
and i ant trying to climb, yo i lost my traction
they makin’ me break, my contents under pressure
do not shake, i’m workin while the boss relaxin
here come mr. tax man, he leavin a fraction, give me back some
matter fact next pay check it’s like that son
i’ll f-ck around and have to hurt a few men
they probably chalk it up as a disturbing new trend, h-llo

[dice raw]
i know where i’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
you don’t see that somethings wrong earth’s spinnin outta control
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
everything’s for sale even the souls someone get god on the phone
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
northside n-gg- southside
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…
sh-ts poppin off worldwide
h-llo h-llo h-llo h-llo…

[styles p]
should i say h-llo or should i say that h-ll is low
am i n-gg- or a n-gg-ro? i’m an african american
they sell drugs in the hood but the man, he move the medicine
he’ll prescribe you all-med for everything
a little stuffy nose tell you get some claritin
you know i’m hip to it and its hard to claim the land
when my great great great grands were shipped to it
look at technology they call it downloading
i call it downsizing somebody follow me
does a computer chip have an astrology
and when it f-ck up could it give you an apology (could it?)
should it say h-llo or should it say goodbye
try to understand how smart and how hood am i
it don’t matter though
until we learn that the world don’t turn right
we all oughta the scatter though
