Swept Away — текст песни (The Roots)

MC`s who slept for days, must be swept away (4X)

[Malik B]
The rhythm just sways, and like a sorceress I slays
foes, and ri-vals, who wanna come
this way, they, better pay attention
or a penchant not to mention suspension
from the microphone, plus the tension
Trey-eight oh`s will vacate those
if there`s drama with my henchmen
So lamp to my man Mussolini
Go get your whole staff, call the calf
cause half-and-half`s couldn`t cream me
The lyrics make your head knock
Malik B and BlackThought, the dreadlock
Mannn, transss-gressin
you`ll catch lead I, crushin
poundin on the drums like King Kong
We can ring your bellll, ding-dong!
I styles with my vocab-ulary
The Roots the one to call your ultra adversary
Now you`re all desert cause I`ma serv ya like a tray
to meet your doom Malik`s the boom so you get swept away

MC`s who slept for days, must be swept away (4X)

[BlackThought]
Yo, hello everybody do I need introduct`
I be the mic mercenary very un.. clear
to your ear the exquisite pattern that you hear
It`s known to be Black Butta Baby
Crazy cardiac my attack on any fat rhythm
that I capture kid I snatch the mic from tykes
while I proceed.. and continue.. to tend to
business, cause this is, how I do
I`m insane, and go against the grain like freight
Never on no nigga dick, cause I`m just too hip
Plus I rest where niggaz pack and never act
other than ill, shit is real in Phy-double
So if you want trouble let`s stomp
My mission is to flip on comp
You might aspire to be flyer than I, you must pay
your dues while I bruise niggaz new for the day
shall be swept away

MC`s who slept for days, must be swept away (3X)
MC`s who slept for days, must be... I`m on a mission

.....: There`s somethin goin on :..... (refrain repeats)
