Because it's from the highest eye and depth Rap extraordinaire, share me never, ever See-through because I be true, Malik's together Intox' your cells 'til your brain vein swells Niggas'll claim terror when they're never parallel Once I have a hunch to diss MC's that front I just crunch the whole bunch in one big munch I always stand firm, under any term My actions never squirm 'cause my tracks is perm' I have a tendency to defend this MC My residency is simply in Pensy I makes it vivid, on different continents of Earth I pivot It seems extreme and exquisite, but ask it, is it?

My man can't vaccinate, y'all know the fate Similar to the way I'm a disease on tape Within a world of hate, many mics I rape To escape Metropolis in such a violent state I spill words over pages, styles over phrases From the world's different stages, for crowds of different ages Though not a nova, you Witness like Jehovah How niggas beg for lyrical plague to pass 'em over Right? Right, niggas is like stick up kids doin' bids You got caught, enter the Black Thought I interface with bass when I communicate Crowds I elevate to another mind-state of rap thinkin' See, musically the Black thinkin' izm, therefore I give 'em what I'm givin', therefore I give 'em what I'm givin', that's the hardcore The Roots'll keep it real for sure, and I shall proceed [Hook x4] [Outro x9] Rockin' on the microphone, I do this well *crowd cheers* The Roots, The Roots!
