The Roots – The Ultimate Live Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 34 Second

Black thought speaks and makes crowd respond for a minute and 15 sec.

Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
My vocals a passport that never expire
Crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire
Screamin out the roots while I balance wit the wire
Yo, expert in this profession, the session
In 1987, I linked up wit the? uestion
Eleven years later we shared crop wit geffen
In musical hell, but hip-hop forever heaven
My thoughts, interwoven and deep like beethoven
This foul world so filled of shit it like a clogged up colon
Swollen wit minds that got stolen
Fake-ass cops, uncontrollable patrolmen
Torture, blood flow like bodies of water
Fathers sexually assaultin they own daughter
Out of sync, outta order like a puzzle
In the land of the unseen hand that hold juggle
In a game of life, yo its hard to roll a double
Tryin times, take lives and separate couples
Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms fuck you
Under they breath, livin in the last times left
Peep the imagery? strep?, across the sky like a canvas
And were the artists beneath vigorous rough strokes of darkness
Time to set it off, lets spark this
Switzerland, lets spark this!
We are the ultimate rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate louder! rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate
Rock-rockin it cmon rock-rockin it cmon rock-rockin it
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
You couldnt have a clue, its about to transpire
The books I buy live arms? i wire?
The fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir
We ex-plore the whole states plus record
In flight buds, trip that was a prisoner in war
Four-four the corridor, seal it, no floor
But I could see the drop was a mile aboard
To the bottom, electrical shock for rhymes
I said I dont got em, guess it kinda presented a problem
When I understood, they said let him go
I woke, during a center to london?
And now wit a past, fuckin wit border patrol
Im findin it out, Im leakin wit my people
Hit the studio, spread this information
In daze of frustration fogged the education
from illa-fifth to switzerland destination
The roots du journ, go check the translation
The dictionary of devout topics, far from ebonics
The fifth dynast, they cant stop it
Yo zurlich yall keep it tight heed
While the roots crew smoke weed
Yo, we are the ultimate rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate, say what? rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate, cmon
Rock-rockin it cmon cmon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate louder rock-rockin it
We are the ultimate louder
Rock-rockin it cmon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
They go thought starts humming and scratch does his thing
Crowd cheers
