THE ROOTS lyrics : "Concerto Of The Desperado"

[Chorus]
The concerto, of the desperado
R-double-O-T-S check the flow

If you know like I know then you know the motto
That's all the fraud %#@! got to go/fake %#@! gots to go


[Verse One: Black Thought]
In the glow of the moon, over the melancholy metro
My poetry is set like a U.F.O.

The maestro, the lyricist concerto
My physical play the role of a vessel
The level of my lyrics law manifesto

My thoughts wrestle and attack with the killer instincts
of a gorilla stronger than Samson
Without vanilla my soliloquoy profess my ability to just

stimulate you like the best sensimilla
The halflife the Illadel-L-P-O-phila proceed
hither is my death flower blow your tower to smithe-

-reens to fiends catch another rhyme gripper
Deeper than the meditations of a Hindu worshiper
Unorthodox, hip-hop, minister

Than a Serengeti cheetah my thoughts swifter
you lose your balance when the sound hits ya
So check for the, Fifth Militia

A poet's under pressure stressin that you get the picture
Even if it means you gotta hang over the banister
I pull a microphone on any pistol brandisher

And take advantage of ya because you amateur
Styles gunning down your sound man and manager
What?? This how we do it in the year for nine-six

With this delivering attack on pointless rap %#@!
Breakin MC's down to fractions, tell your squadron
It's time to go to war, Respond/React


[Chorus 2X]


[Verse Two: Malik B]
The implorer, the universe explorer
Treat MC's like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah

Leavin these ^!$$%z open like a box of Pandora
With styles that's newer than the world order
Approximately three quarters of y'all are water

I straight deport ya
Then orchestrate your torture with roots of culture
The pill brimmage to the line of scrimmage up against your image

Where life is a heist, and the strong get a percentage
It's ill as a war and within it I'm the Lieutenant
that surrounds you like a peninsula to snatch the pennant

You fold like Japan's futons and fans
While I design a plan to make a rapper step like a pedestrian
I crush a mountain into grands of sand

Your pain stains the hand that held the mic inserted to the stand
The desperado, that refuse to follow
The Fifth afficianado, break you up into parts like vibrato

I deep like the dark of the night
^!$$%z is sweet and sound silly when they talk on the mic
They use the simple back and forth the same

old rhythm that's plain
I'd rather UltraMagnetize your brain
It's the hip-hop purist, that leave you lost like a tourist

inside the chorus, ^!$$%z is bringin nothin for us
As we breakin em down to fractions, tell your squadron
It's time to go to war, Respond/React


[Chorus 2X]
