[Verse: Black Thought]
Well, I'm a fly Philly nigga, finger on the trigger
MC's repent from sins, God's comin' again
Original (what?), visionary individual
Original (what?), visionary individual
I proceed, as I give ya what ya need
Like I'm a medical doctor, watch the damage I inflict properly
Ain't nobody risin' on top of me
I be droppin' more plot in my mic, monopoly
Got to be, got to be reality, Stevie Wonder, see
Black Thought be me, I groove ba-by
Or like Luther says, baby
Could you get with this? Not even maybe
It's the Mr. Gravy and shit
To explain what's goin' on inside my brain is scandalous
No analyst can maintain or handle this
Mind train, yo, I'm on some old snap-a-rapper-neck shit
You know what I'm sayin'?
So, niggas best get out of my path
Kid, I'm on point like a gat
The basket case, I waste MC's with rapture taste
Facin' these leads to cats diminished
They be pullin' the mic out that ass when I get finished
Administrative assistant I'm not, yo, I'm the principal
Nigga, take a shot like I'm invincible
Figure me to be hardcore, my input cuts your jaw
For real, for sure, Do You Want More?!!!??!

The Roots

The world’s premiere hip-hop band, The Roots were formed in Philadelphia in 1987 by MC Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and drummer and bandleader Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Since those early days, the band has weathered changes in personnel and record labels while performing hundreds of shows a year and releasing a string of well-regarded (if not always top-selling) albums.

While the musicianship of Thompson and the other band members, as well as their seemingly limitless repertoire, gets most of the attention, real hip-hop fans know that the rapping skills of Black Thought (along with former group member Malik B.) are the group’s hidden weapon. Thought, one of the few MCs brave enough to go toe to toe with Big Pun, handles any groove the band throws at him with aplomb, style, and flash.

Today, The Roots are seen by millions every night as the house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, a move that has given the group the chance to indulge its not-insignificant comic side.
