[00:00.84]From the never never tunnels via satellite
[00:03.12]Ceremonies be commencing in the candlelight
[00:05.55]Yo is i is up in the res-in-iduals tonight
[00:07.95]Absolutely because i'm the kid that's on the mic
[00:10.29]And i believe it's destiny that i got put
[00:12.63]In a position to throw lyrics like a shotput
[00:14.94]Yo no matter the circumstance
[00:16.32]Thought can always make you dance
[00:17.55]Like you got the heebie-jeebies or a hotfoot
[00:19.77]The bass is low on the meter, less than zero
[00:22.11]So while i'm sinning you be spinning like a planet
[00:24.45]Yo if you dig the **** i'm sayin you'll be deeper
[00:26.73]Wish for little and your wishes shall be granted
[00:29.13]We plant the seeds y'all, to grow the roots y'all
[00:31.62]And mad knowledge i got, from the archives
[00:34.32]But now i got a crazy fat question:
[00:36.33]What ever happened to leonard parts one to five?
[00:38.52]Chorus: black thought (repeat 2x)
[00:43.56]Why'd you ask me that question?　(i don't know)
[00:46.11]Where did leonard parts one to five go?

[00:57.66][black thought]
[00:57.93]Chariot, chariot, come swing low--be
[01:00.24]Cause it's on a lower level that i swing low, umm
[01:02.70]?uestion, keeps me up, on the swing flow, he
[01:04.95]Don't got a whole name, i call him, bro the
[01:07.38]Roots is comin through on your audio
[01:09.42]For you to cut the roots down i don't think so
[01:11.97]Because the sound from the ground is like be--low
[01:14.34]And when the liquid kicks in then the roots grow
[01:16.62]Now my ace boom coon plus amigo
[01:18.99]Was shadrach meshach and n'bendago
[01:21.36]There was a alpha to omega, motion, system
[01:24.18]But i just call them a to o
[01:26.31]And in all states, the roots'll rock a fat show
[01:28.56]Because i drop art like i was pa-blo
[01:30.93]And pa-blo's last name was picasso
[01:33.48]But as for cash flow, i don't got no

[02:06.90]And i speak up loud, so you can hear me yo
[02:08.94]Is it a tribe called quest?　is it the j.beez?
[02:11.76]We're cool like dat, but yo we're not the d.p.'s
[02:14.01]It's the group the roots, with the organic rap style
[02:16.35]Plus the groove from the rhythmic rhyme file
[02:18.81]Umm.. i'm a big fan of the soul
[02:21.12]But i'm trying to get this roots **** in control
[02:23.40]So i hate when people say,
[02:24.51]"umm - you remind me of de la soul,"
[02:26.01]Cause i got a soul, of my own, and umm
[02:28.05]Yo the roots are taking big steps and
[02:30.60]You can listen as we progress in
[02:32.64]Sometimes i might come to teach a lesson
