The Next Movement Lyrics by The Roots, J. Period

The Best of The Roots

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Yo, one, two, one-two one-two
That's how we usually start, once again it's the Thought
The Dalai Lama of the mic, the prime minister Thought
This directed to whoever in listening range
Yo the whole state of things in the world bout to change
Black rain fallin from the sky look strange
The ghetto is red hot, we steppin on flames
Yo, it's inflation on the price for fame
And it was all the same, but then the antidote came
The Black Thought, ill syllablist, out the Fifth
This heavyweight rap shit I'm about to lift
Like, a phyllum lift up it's seed to sunlight
I plug in the mic, draw like a gunfight
I never use a cordless, or stand applaudless
Sippin cholorophyll out of ill silver goblets
I'm like a faucet, monopoly's the object
There ain't no way to cut this tap, you got ta get wet
Your head is throbbin and I ain't said shit yet
The Roots crew, the next movement, c'mon!
[Break]
And yes y'all
You are now in tune to the sounds
Of the legendary, foundation, check it out, uh
[Hook]
Word up, we got the hot-hot music, the hot music
The hot-hot music music, the hot music
The hot-hot music music, the hot music
The hot-hot music music, the hot music
[Outro]
Yo, it's your boy Black Thought. Holdin' it down with J. Period give you the best of The Roots, man, The Official Mixtape
