[black thought]
From the never never tunnels via satellite
Ceremonies be commencing in the candlelight
Yo is i is up in the res-in-iduals tonight
Absolutely because iand'm the kid thatand's on the mic
And i believe itand's destiny that i got put
In a position to throw lyrics like a shotput
Yo no matter the circumstance
Thought can always make you dance
Like you got the heebie-jeebies or a hotfoot
The bass is low on the meter, less than zero
So while iand'm sinning you be spinning like a planet
Yo if you dig the shit iand'm sayin youand'll be deeper
Wish for little and your wishes shall be granted
We plant the seeds yand'all, to grow the roots yand'all
And mad knowledge i got, from the archives
But now i got a crazy fat question:
What ever happened to leonard parts one to five?
Chorus: black thought (repeat 2x)
Whyand'd you ask me that question? (i donand't know)
Where did leonard parts one to five go?
Whyand'd you ask me that question? (i donand't know)
Word/uhh/yeah/...
Where did leonard parts one to five go..
[black thought]
Chariot, chariot, come swing low--be
Cause itand's on a lower level that i swing low, umm
?uestion, keeps me up, on the swing flow, he
Donand't got a whole name, i call him, bro the
Roots is comin through on your audio
For you to cut the roots down i donand't think so
Because the sound from the ground is like be--low
And when the liquid kicks in then the roots grow
Now my ace boom coon plus amigo
Was shadrach meshach and nand'bendago
There was a alpha to omega, motion, system
But i just call them a to o
And in all states, the rootsand'll rock a fat show
Because i drop art like i was pa-blo
And pa-bloand's last name was picasso
But as for cash flow, i donand't got no
Dividends and, ends to spend on blow, yo
Where did leonard parts to five go?
Chorus
[black thought]
Whereand's the third verse? here it comes, here it goes
The second had oodles and oodles of..
Speaking of oand's, iand'm hard to sink like a cheerio
And i speak up loud, so you can hear me yo
Is it a tribe called quest? is it the j.beez?
Weand're cool like dat, but yo weand're not the d.p.and's
Itand's the group the roots, with the organic rap style
Plus the groove from the rhythmic rhyme file
Umm.. iand'm a big fan of the soul
But iand'm trying to get this roots shit in control
So i hate when people say,
andquot;umm - you remind me of de la soul,andquot;
Cause i got a soul, of my own, and umm
Yo the roots are taking big steps and
You can listen as we progress in
Sometimes i might come to teach a lesson
Other times itand's with a crazy question like..
Yo.. whatever happened to leonard parts one to five?
Word up; i donand't know, anyway, roots up yand'know
Uhh, as we do it like this
Roots up, roots up
Roots up, roots up
Roots up, roots up
Roots up, roots up
Roots up.. up, roots up-up
Roots up, roots up-up
Roots up, roots up-up
Roots up, roots _up from the ground_
Roots up, roots up with the sound
Roots up, roots _up from the ground_
Roots up, roots gettin on down
Roots up, dig it
Roots up yand'all, roots up yand'all
Roots is up roots is up roots is up yand'all
Roots is up yand'all, roots is up yand'all
Roots is up roots is up roots is up yand'all
Roots is up.
