Roots Lyrics
 | | Originally formed in 1989, this Philadelphia supergroup is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Pioneers of the live-rap movement, the Roots use traditional instrumentation in lieu of samples and drum machines. Their distinctly jazzy sound is the direct result of highly skilled musicianship, as demonstrated on their high-quality albums and always impressive live performances. In addition to their signature, organic sound, they are also known for their positive and conscious lyricism. Emcees Black Thought and Malik B always give you something to think about, dropping verses on such heavy topics as politics, equality and respect for fellow man. The Roots have opened the door for a new breed of artist, stressing the importance of original music and intelligent content, a refreshing contrast to hip-hop's glut of party-thug rappers. They are without a doubt one of the most important bands around, not just as emcees, but as musicians and role models. |

Roots Song Lyric:
Swept Away
Mc’s who slept for days, must be swept away (4x)
[malik b] The rhythm just sways, and like a sorceress I slays Foes, and ri-vals, who wanna come This way, they, better pay attention Or a penchant not to mention suspension From the microphone, plus the tension Trey-eight oh’s will vacate those If there’s drama with my henchmen So lamp to my man mussolini Go get your whole staff, call the calf Cause half-and-half’s couldn’t cream me The lyrics make your head knock Malik b and blackthought, the dreadlock Mannn, transss-gressin You’ll catch lead i, crushin Poundin on the drums like king kong We can ring your bellll, ding-dong! I styles with my vocab-ulary The roots the one to call your ultra adversary Now you’re all desert cause i’ma serv ya like a tray To meet your doom malik’s the boom so you get swept away
Mc’s who slept for days, must be swept away (4x)
[blackthought] Yo, hello everybody do I need introduct’ I be the mic mercenary very un.. clear To your ear the exquisite pattern that you hear It’s known to be black butta baby Crazy cardiac my attack on any fat rhythm That I capture kid I snatch the mic from tykes While I proceed.. and continue.. to tend to Business, cause this is, how I do I’m insane, and go against the grain like freight Never on no nigga dick, cause I’m just too hip Plus I rest where niggaz pack and never act Other than ill, shit is real in phy-double So if you want trouble let’s stomp My mission is to flip on comp You might aspire to be flyer than i, you must pay Your dues while I bruise niggaz new for the day Shall be swept away
Mc’s who slept for days, must be swept away (3x) Mc’s who slept for days, must be... I’m on a mission
.....: there’s somethin goin on :..... (refrain repeats)
