THE ROOTS lyrics : "Table Of Contents (Part 1 & 2)"

[Part One]

[Black Thought]

[Background]
Is this fast or normal speed?
Yea, knawsayin?, yea, Table of Contents

$#&@in wit it, one two, it's the Table of Contents, come on [2x]
Uh yea, uh huh, yo


Check it out, you're now intuned to the sounds of the
R to the, double-O to the, T-S and I stretch limit to this profession
My voice physically fit, tracks I'm bench-pressing

The mic chord is an extension of my intestine
Delicate MC's sliced in my delicatessan
My mind state is that of the S-P

Connection, Pennsy a part of me, South Philly through my arteries
Thought the dark one, fearsome, slump son
My vocal just a knuckle that sucker punched the drum

Hip-hop yo that's my hustle and it kill a kingdom
That Fall Apart to drastic propor-tion
Lost ones out there, you better stand clear

The Fifth Dynasty, it be a world premier
Cuttin through like attorneys at law that's car chasin
You star gazing, the force y'all facin is the

R-to the, double-O to the, T-S an'
Y'all ^!$$%z in the mix, keep guessin
The world traveller in the flesh without question

Last seven years on tour without restin
Yo the kind of rapper you should reconsider testin
Supreme simply, o-fficial Dundee

What I bring'll motivate to move your whole country
Throw your hands up if y'all want me to proceed wit
And carry out strategic plans to leave wit

The title that I'm watchin, Roots we run-ting
My Dundee atire for MC hunting
Step up and out the ring

Y'all ^!$$%z on some other, y'all loud as Don King
But wine drink within the danger zone lounging
You need to be more aware of your surroundings

Reality at times is astounding enough to get your heart pounding
It's safe to $$#ume, in all confidence
That I'm one of the illest in the seven continents

Yo, you on my dick, thanks for the compliments
You be $#&@ed up by my Table of Contents [begins fading]
Bad Lieutanent, you I been rhymin since

The $#&@in past tense, $#&@ no delayin
Or playin taking your wing way back in the day of yo
Mother$#&@in mind


[Part Two]


[Malik B]
It' the R-to the, double-O to the, T-S an'
Yo yo, it's the R to the, double-O to the, T-S an' yo

When I strike to excite, I just aim, I never miss
Embrace you wit a hug of death, give your $$# a slight kiss
Toxic words that spill over pages, for ages

Impacts like M-16's to twelve gauges
The rage is still in me, never act too friendly
Scully down creepin while you tilted off Henny

Many man begin pure but in this world of sin your
Holdin tight my mor-al by in-jure
We scramble, because this game life is the gamble

Vandalize your terrain, go against the grain
Invade your brain wit the collision causing division
Sweep your sector, leavin you ^!$$%z for stool-pigeons

Sweep your sector, leavin you ^!$$%z for stool-pigeons
Sweep your sector, leavin you ^!$$%z for stool-pigeons
My religion is a way of life, but the trife replays

Cuz ^!$$%z actin shiest these days
Wagin wars, usin dynamics cuz I'ma slam it
You talkin all this out out your mouth, you satanic

Roam the planet, always takin bull%#@! for granted
Just a cool type of cat but you still can't understand it
You told to sit back, stand still and chill

^!$$%z bound to clap shots cuz they all act ill
Wit a sour-ass taste smilin up in your face
I'm like trust, never leavin no trial or no trace
Disappear wit the wind, ? shows the discipline
Twenty-five years of my life I learned to ?miss amend?

Peep the structure of a whole empire
Smuggled sealed tai, pack lyrics like Kya
Verbal messiah, when I cross I set a fire
Wacker MC went in doubt cuz I'm for hire [echoes]
