y'all dorito-head cats that yak and stagnated
the doug e. most war vete-ran
soul controller of this lyrical land
my complex pattern of speech is like sex
i mastered the art of makin you snap the necks
and chase manhattan endorse my mic checks
when you fuckin with the roots
we pull you in a drag-net then brainwash your click
then roadie all your homies
step up and place your bets
then make my escape on through the 'net
straight from the old school
aiyyo raw's in full effect
lex luthor with rifles filled with kryptonite
when you grip the mic it's like -- c'mon kids
you don't like me?! but don't even know why should you hate me
you scared to face these so i still remain safely
north phil' where i'm residin
never let an outside nigga slide in
i dunk on you once inside the paint
flow like this you cain't
y'all not sayin nuttin new
y'all not sayin nuttin new
tell me what you could do
sippin this lambic framboise
spittin it for like whoever demand the answer
what's the cure for this hip-hop cancer? equivalent
to this avalanche of black snow
to get my people thinkin mo'
what does it all mean? what's it all for?
with knowledge of yourself
then you're through the first door
my people hungry and thirst for more next music explore
it's heavenly to your ebony daughter next door
so what you think the roots get the world respect for?
the splendid authentic hip-hop that's raw core
that's where the bomb fell
explodin from the imperial en-sem-ble
from the ven-ue to the avenue
we truly only got respect for a few

runnin up the steps and lookin for a weapon
