Proceed II |
Check it, check it, black thought, is in the house |
And uhh, malik b, is in the house |
We’re groovin out, yes in the house |
Just get on the mic with your master plan |
Verse one: malik b I can make you dance, i can make you shout |
The scripts in the scroll turned the whole party out |
Inject my lyrics in a sec with dialect |
Why accept, because it’s from the highest eye and depth |
Rap extrordinaire share me never ever |
See through because i be true, malik’s together |
Intox your cells till your brain vein swells |
Niggaz’ll claim terror when their never parellel |
Once i have a hunch that there’s mc’s that front |
I just crunched a whole bunch, in one big munch |
I always stand firm, under any term |
My actions never squirm cuz my tracks is perm |
I have a tendency to defend this mc My residency is simply in sensei |
I makes it vivid, on different continents of earth i pivot |
It seems extreme and exquisite but ask it is it |
My style is like a cat from a seventies flick |
Talkin jive as he strut with his afro pick |
Or a predator, just before he stalks his pray |
When i talk this way, i do dismay |
See you’re puzzled, now how i think you’re trying to juggle |
My mind is like a nine m double, now there’s trouble |
The roots bring you styles and all types of creed |
I sign off but i shall proceed |
I shall, proceed, and continue, to rock the mic (4x) |
Verse two: black thought |
Yo, we could get fly, we could get fly |
We could get fly that’s the anthem of my Crew not to glorify but it’s sorta high |
Troubles of the world bring tears to my eye wonder why |
My man, can’t vaccinate, y’all know the fate |
Similar to the way i’m a disease on tape |
To escape metropolis is such a violent state |
I spill words over pages, styles over phrases |
From the world’s different stages for crowds of different ages |
Though not a nova, you witness like jehovah |
Now niggaz beg for lyrical plague to pass them over |
Righ right niggaz is like stick up kids |
Doin bids you got caught, enter the black thought |
I interface with bass when i communicate |
Crowds i elevate, to another mindstate of Rap thinking, see musically the black thinking rhythm |
Therefore, i give em what i’m giving, therefore |
I give em what i’m giving that’s the hardcore |
The roots’ll keep it real for sure, and i shall proceed |
Rockin on the microphone i do this well (repeats) |
The roots, the roots! |
