I kick it root down I put my root down It's not a put down I put my foot down And then I make some love, I put my root down Like Sweetie Pie by the Stone Alliance Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science I'm electric like Dick Hyman I guess you'd expect to catch the crew rhymin' Never let you down with the stereo sound So Mike, get on the mic on turn it out We're talking root down, I put my boot down And if you want to battle me, you're putting root down I said root down, it's time to scoot down I'm a step up to the mic in my goose down Come up representing from the upper west Money makin' putting me to the test Sometimes I feel as though I've been blessed Bcause I'm doing what I want so I never rest Well, I'm not coming out goofy Like the fruit of the loom guys Just strutting like the Meters With the look-ka py py 'Cause downtown Brooklyn is where I was born But when the snow is falling, then I am gone You might think that I'm a fanatic A phone call from Utah and I'm throwing a panic But we kick it from the root when we break it on down Jimmy Smith is my man, I want to give him a pound
(chorus)
Ad Rock don't stop, just get on the mic with the tic and the toc I'll fill you to the fuckin' rim like brim I'm walking down your block and you say that's him There goes the guy with the funky sound The Beastie Boys you know we come to get down Because I've got the flow where I grab my dick And say oh my God, that's the funky shit So I'm going to pass the mic and cause a panic The original nasal kid is doing damage Every morning I took the train to the High Street station Doing homework on the train, what a fucked up situation On the way back up hearing battle tapes Through the underground, undermeath the sky scrapes Like harlem world battles Zulu Beat Show It's Kool Moe D vs. Busy Bee there's one you should know Enough of that, I just want to give some respect due M.C.A. grab the mic and Ma Bell will connect you Bob Marley was a prophet for the freedom fight "If dancing' prays to the Lord then I shall feel alright" If feels good to play a little music Tears running down my face 'cause I love to do it And no one can stop this flow from flowing on a flow master In desaster with a sound that's gone I'll give a little shout out to my dad and mom for bringing me Into this world and so on
