Duck Down! Lyrics - The Tipping Point - The Roots

(Black Thought) 

Yea we gettin' ready to break y'all it's winner take all 

The game is locked we down to the eight ball 

The time is now, it ain't nothin' to wait for 

I'm a king by blood a soldier by nature 

I'm somthin' like a threat to y'all space cadets 

'Cause you never met brother nothin' like me yet 

So push another slice into your toast and tighten your vests 

Cause it's a warrior you seein' here tonight in the flesh 

I give you somthin' high voltage double dosage 

Runnin' with these vultures givin' me ulcers 

Which one of these hustlers bringin' the thunder 

Re-gees (refugees?) not another man takin' us under 

Nigga please which Philly cat doin' his own thing 

Might say black my give you a code name 

Round my neck see the microphone hang 

Have your lady lips singin' like on soul train 

The niggaz that's a problem is minimal margin 

The Colonel, Capitan, Lieutenant, General Sergeant 

Black, one man army move in on your squadron 

You sittin' still you know you a target 

You heard you better duck down!

(Black Thought) 

Yea we gettin' set to get rid of y'all that's what it's headin' for 

The underdog knuckle and brawl with the bigger? ball? 

I spit what your wig absorb sicker than sycamore 

I'm creatin' a circumstance that you a victim of 

The rebel or the renegade out on the quest 

The super black man runnin' wit a S on his chest 

And stand for the straight struggle to escape the stress 

You think it's sweet tryin' to eat, you ain't taste this yet 

So make y'all steps precautious into the darkness 

Thoughts cold and heartless makin' me nauseous 

Gettin' more remorses for what I done 

If the lawyers and courts wonder what I run 

Civil liberties is free but just for some 

How you a gangster and you scared to bust your gun 

For the call, trust your fam' and trust nobody at all 

Seein' brothers gettin' struck down 

You better duck down!
