Ladies and gentlemen 

The greatest stage show you've ever witnessed 

Appearing live, from out the 2-1-5, the roots crew 

 

Verse 1: 

 

Big respect to the get fresh, yes 

Have you ever seen a show and fellas on the mic 

Make one minute rhymes that don't come out right 

(they bite) aiyo, they never write (that's not polite) 

Word up, am I lyin? (nah, you're quite right) 

Well tonight on this very mic you're about to hear 

We swear, the illest star rappers of the year 

So so, cheerio, yell, scream bravo 

Also, if you didn't know it's the roots show 

 

Verse 2:

Verse 3: 

 

Well it, started on osage avenue 

When we came up with the squad that's called the roots crew 

It was me, qwest kemal, hubbard and my man malik- 

B, and rahzel from the nyc 

Who used ta, scratch and sing, make sounds and things 

For example, check out this telephone ring 

 

*telephone ring* 

(hello? hello? can I speak to rahzel? 

(no, he's not in right now) 

 

Well anyway, no more delay 

Just peep out the ill my man display 

But'cha gotta be (fresh), rahzel'll rock (fresh) 

Like d-o-u-g-i-e (fresh) 

And I'm known for the... 

And not for the... 

Rahzel the godfather, the entertainer 

No other title could fit me plainer 

In the past generation, I am the remainder 

And I'm also known as the beatbox trainer 

Cashin cheques, makin sound effects 

After I finish rockin, black thought is up next 

 

Well here's a lil' sometin that needs to be heard 

Rah, I was headin uptown, (word 'riq), word 

(chillin) and all alone, no one to be with 

Hopped up on the train headed for 2-5th 

And saw this pretty girl (what? ), so I sat beside her 

Then she went (*roar*) like she was tony the tiger 

I said oh no, there's been a mistake 

Love, my name is black thought, not frostie flakes 

(oh, golly wally) well, she was raisin hell 

She said aah, my name is maggie but call me michelle 

*something in reverse* 

Check it out, roots crew and yeah, we rock the house, y'nahi'msayin? 

And when I'm on the mic, there won't be no delayin 

So bust a move, we show and prove 

Yo rahzel, do that record jam on the groove 

 

Outro: 

 

As you can see, most definitely 

The roots are... 

Come up rahzel, come up illa del 

Come up? uestlove, and then come on up hub 

Come up malik b, and then behind him d 

Come up dice raw, the 5th dynasty 

And black thought sendin out a shout to the get fresh crew 

And doug e.
