The Spark - The Roots
depart
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Look God I walk around
a little edgy already
Y'all MC's come into my face
but my aim's steady
Millitant is skilled
in most strategic plan
I float across seas and
breezed across land
Standin in these thoughts
of murder within
The structure of this world
that's corrupted with sin
I'm always hittin
to leave MC's guessin
For any transgression
in my perimeter
there will be a blessing
and your explicit intoxicated
buddha session
to stop stressin
me with the madness
puttin niggaz on my had list
No sadness is felt
you shuffled
and your cards get dealt
Jim Carrey ass niggaz
start to melt
Impact like a buckle bein
swung from off a belt
Any help for shelter
when in the realms of a welter
My weight will tilt ya
hold alignments
and change your filter
My attitude a product of society
So sometimes for gratitude
you know you can't rely on me
Niggaz eyein me
with looks of they anxiety
Wonderin what's in my heart
velocity or piety
Yo it depends on which one
you bring to surface
At times I get trife
but what to worship is my purpose
Malik B blend with the tree
to spot an enemy
You cloggin me up cat
now vacant the vicinity
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
I'm symbolic to a ballot
it's Abdul Malik
Don't approach with bullshit
I'm quick to call it invalid
Route through your district
we keep it simplistic
No need for the rapper to talk
put it on halt
Show me the vault
or the safe
cause I'm on the paper chase
Wade through route states
for bout thirty down my waist
I'm tryin to get it
these rain bottlin
thoughts become acidic
With one in the chamber
ready to aim and spit it
A girlfriend and team made
nigga cash just splintered
I take what you got to give
cause I got to live
The last hour I bet your ass
Might act up
but I still can pass dowa
I'm usin new ways to try
to reach these better days
Instead of tryin to take you
under I just make you wonder
I still fast make salaat
and pay zakaat
I didn't make Haj yet
but that's my next project
Livin two lives
one of turn and one
with true lies
Keepin a hoe
knowin these hands
into my du'a
In the quarters livin modest
with my nigga Trotter
I circle my foes
like tawaf around the kaba
I used to live life
like there was no manana
Now I'm treatin every breath
like it was your honor
I'm Millitillitant
with the Fifth that stand firm
like a pillar
I'm I and T L like Manilla
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
Yo the feet that I walk with
The ears that I hear with
the eyes that I see with
The mouth that I talk with
the terror that I stalk with
Now it's time to spark shit
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
This is what it's all about
