Roots Discussion Lyrics - Singles - Nesian Mystik

***Verse 1 

I need some hiphop, if thats quiet alright 

Can you please define, explain for me why 

Can't I put hop with the hip 

Melodies with the rhyme 

Be myself 

Keep it true 

Soul driven through and through 

This be the message that I send to you 

A discussion of the roots, the real 

There ain't no half stepping when I take the field 

Yo so what the *&%$ is hiphop 

I rock a platnium grill with chains 

So who's hiphop iced out I got game 

So who's hiphop 

I'm in da heazy fo' sheazy 

I didn't understand what I just said 

But it pleased 

I learned everything I know from da radio 

I've seen all the how to be a player videos 

I wanna be like my man Ali G 

Mass respect to the realists head 

And riding the punani 

I'm on a roots discussion 

You don't even know 

The true definitive hiphop 

Is from the soul 

Damn what you talking bout' 

Hiphop is from da soul 

It's all about the way you dress the benjamins 

And how you roll 

My definition of hiphop is what I'm on kid 

It's not about the roots now 

It's all about the branches 

4 core element foundations imperative 

Seek the wisdom find your own definition 

(Chorus) 

Can you define for me 

The definition of hiphop 

Maybe you've come a long way 

From different underground spots 

Know when it's real 

When it's not 

When it's empty 

In the cup 

Fill it up until your soul flows 

Rhythms all you got 

***Verse 2 

I'm so hiphop I rock an american accent 

I'm so hiphop cause I always curse when I rap 

I'm so hiphop affliated with a gang 

My hip hopness is an obvious rated 10 out of 10 

I qualify cause I sing with all the right people 

Never selling records cause they ain't keeping it real 

To the underground sound found with all your family garage 

Battling for prestige by dising all those I can manage 

The law of hiphop says no raping if you sing 

I even got a limp in my leg when I walk down the street 

I'm from the slum and I've lived a deprived life 

Got slang to back it up best believe I'm ghetto tight 

I'm from the streets so what I rap is real 

I live the life I speak in rhyme all those murders and drug deals 

Never once have I saved a life in rhyme or healed wounds 

Rather I inflicted pain that community consumes 

(Chorus) 

***Verse 3 

Now pass me the mic (pass the mic) 

Let me define hiphop music according to my life 

I adapt and modify the form thats been applied 

From underground heads and true voice that's been denied 

Whether we're old school, new school 

It's still the same school 

A generation goes on while another one comes through 

It's the way that we live pass our knowledge to our kids 

And if that ain't hiphop then tell me what is... 

I'm so hiphop don't even mess with us 

I'm so hiphop you wish now be on ya sshhh 

So whats hiphop WHAT 

All of a sudden your a genius 

Your minds paralysed while your listening to this 

My lyrics penetrate your ear lobes 

And stab you in the brain 

You trying to tell whats what 

And what style you claim 

You talking about being spiritual 

I'm all about the visuals 

Get cash through the days and in evening getting sexual 

I'm on a roots discussion 

You don't even know 

The true definitive 

Hiphop is from the soul 

Let me define for you my definition of hiphop 

Low ridin' ice blindin' hitting every spot 

See I'm as hiphop as they come son 

My rides outside, girls by my side 

My blings all glaring in your eyes 

First expressions of our long life lessons 

Of hard times, still so many questions 

(Chorus) 

(Bridge) 

The truth ain't so far from the cradle 

Where you once rocked in your sleep 

And you mama sung sweet melodies 

Prayed to the lord for your soul to keep 2x 

(Chorus)
