The Show Must Go On
The Roots

[Intro]

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]

Yo Rahzel (Wassup?), put your Wallies on

(Yo 'Riq, I was about to but I need a shoehorn)

Why's that? (Cos these shoes always hurt my corn)

Six minutes, six minutes, six minutes Roots crew, you're on

Uh uh on, uh uh on, uh uh-uh uh-uh uh uh on

Uh uh on, uh uh on, uh uh-uh uh-uh uh uh on

Here we go, (here we go), come on, (come on)

Here we go, (here we go), come on, (come on)

(Yo 'Riq, where's Malik?) Aiyo, the brother is late

Told him the time, oh, I forgot the date

(Man, you did it again) Oh no!

(Here we go), come on

(Here we go), come on

(Here we go, did we miss the show?)

No, no no nono, no we didn't, w-w-w-word

No nono nono nono, no we didn't, w-w-w-word

No we didn't, (Well don't get us wrong)

Excuse but um, excuse but umm, excuse Roots crew you're on

Uh uh on....

[Verse 3]

Well it, started on-a O'Saints 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.
