Chorus: The Roots

Here on this agendathere is no pretenders
So when we begin to assassinate your cast members
Here on this agendathere is no pretenders
So when we begin to assassinate your cast members

Verse One: Malik B

Dig itcool calm collect in my perspective
Search the premisesI leave no clues for detectives
My verbal impact across your back slap
You talk about you see mebut your vision s full of cataract
It don t matter thatyour glass house I shatter that
Bad luck I walk under now show me where the ladder at
Pull up the urinal organs up in your bladder cat
Approachin you with shriller rhetoricas if you had a sac
Now crews down for ityour gas pedal floor it
with ammo and artillery and stash spots to keep and store it
I used the banner of a slant with a zort
Change your strategic planmy man s getting bored
Your vocal chord is fraudulentand not the true porcelain
I bring the fireearthand the source of wind
The force of sin will endorse the pen
We all search for sanitybut I think that it was lost again
Now which stick of artistscan be the smartest
My beam of sunlight shines the brightest in the forest
Regardlessartists dislike because I m ?
Control the tempermakin MC s whimper
I tilt the Earth from off the axis in the center
Next I m in the womb like a placenta
M-Illi-Tant the city ninjauplift
cause I m the soul avengerremember I m no great pretender

Chorus 2X

Verse Two: Black Thought

StrategisI bet y all niggaz can t believe this
I read you like a whole avenue that s filled with meters
parkedfuck your back talkI watch how niggaz cat-walk
over my pit of venom and send em to the asphault
For inquisitiveswho wanna try to test me
What protects mewill make you shake like epilipsy
Plague your neighborhood with lyrical le-prosy
Stimulate more than Ecstasy y all niggaz check my recipe
Dig itI must observe itanalyze when I m chillin
Peep out who s the villain then make your whole pavillion
of a Sicilianexcuse the greed don t want a mill
I want a zillion - stacks of Franklins to the ceiling
I counts stacks importedfuck the yacht and the mansion
I want Pluto and Jupiterpoliticaluniversal expansion
Buy out Tommy and Halle Hanson
Kidnap America? you hold it for ransom
Pass it down to my grandsonI got no time to be romancin
Only time s for mental food and advancement
This game of Life is strictly chancein - get to know
the nature before I get know the nigga while I m glancing
Enhancingis my mental - I play in the midst
a squad a team most crews is not in the halfs of rentals
My utensilsdisplay a whole variety
Even when in the cut niggaz can t cut they anxiety
PeepI fill your brain with suspicionpay attention
like you paid tuitionand stop all your bull-ishin
The rap chemist in the lab to the finish
The mic is my apprenticecause I can t stand
courts or tennismy pigmentation is the menace
That s why the system s always tryin to pursue with a blemish
Pale assesthink a nigga in this
My flow s tremendousfor the meal you can t replenish
The question you ask mesituation get worse
Fam I won t befriend yacause I m no great pretender
