Right On Lyrics - How I Got Over - The Roots

Hit it 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

Yo, I try to get it how I live it 

A lotta people counting on me, kinda like a digit 

It's a cold world, I'm not frontin' like it isn't 

It's no time for comin' up shorter than a midget

Ya'll know I'm a raise the bar though, like bitchin' 

You see all them stars don't blink, you might miss it 

It's precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it 

The light comes in different types, be more specific 

Shit, I'm black thought, what could be more prolific 

For this love I go above, beyond the limit 

I told ya'll I'm above and beyond the gimmick 

I get into your head and spread like a pandemic 

I never put myself in a race I can't finish 

I'm well grounded, founded on the same premise 

As any man with a hitlist, it's about business 

Yo, can a brother get a witness? 

Dig it, right on 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

Photos 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

Alright 

Okay, I'm above and beyond hot 

My measurement in watts 

Time rate and flow of energy 

Ain't never gonna stop 

Pressure's on I won't pop 

Microphone I won't drop 

Gemstones, niggas caught me 

Shit if I ain't in the spot 

Still rhymin' on the hot 

New star on the hip 

I shine a light for the future 

So my presence a gift 

It's evident I'm heaven sent 

With time and add it elements 

Reference for what I represent 

To show my benevolence 

This is Philly 

I'm rapping for the art of the city 

Came from southwest Atlanta 

Gave my heart to the city 

With slugs flying, thugs crying 

Every part of it's green 

Nigga's shootin' up the club 

Like they partyin' with Diddy 

Get the diggy 

I bring my incandescence to florescence 

And In essence 

I can burn out more energy per second 

I put morning lesson 

While I'm smokin' on the blessing 

A switch hit like Pete Rose 

Let's hit a session 

Right on 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

We should shine a light on 

A light on 

And the book of right-on's, right on 

It was right on 

Take it to the very top 

I'm gonna do a snare roll
