Artist : THE ROOTS
 Ital (The Universal Side) | THE ROOTS(feat. Q-Tip)
  
[Verse One: Q-Tip] 
 
I wanna be able to reach an mc 
and reach a little child in the same degree 
And my elders excel 
I mean what the hell 
we might as well bridge these gaps 
in all before we fall in the fire 
 
[Black Thought:] 
 
It's a million mc's upon a plan they call real tryin' to set it 
profess mic techniques illegit 
inaccurate perceptions of reality embedded 
in their minds thus their rhymes are discredited (check it out) 
 
[Q-Tip:] 
 
I use my music implemented with jewels import tools 
to inspire all those too cool fools who say screw school 
'Cause they don't see the conspiracy 
that's put here to trap you and me 
 
[Black Thought:] 
 
Y'all know the battle leutenant be on some whole 'nother other finesse genetic 
they say I get it from my mother so its' inheredit- 
ary and very necessary to shine 
legendarily, heavily refined 
 
[Q-Tip:] 
 
Contemporaries like the Roots is so radit's like dage 
which bag did they come out of, and how can I get in itto win it 
like raffle ticket pick 
and if you feelin' something, guess who gets the sticking 
 
[Black Thought:] 
 
I got this Ital mad up close and personal 
the first I find to violate, I shall retal- 
iate with realisms for their whole local 
we on point like decimal Abstract now 
 
[Q-Tip:] 
 
MCin while I'm breathingmcin is believing 
that you can host a ceremony and the dough is never phony 
in fact, it's very therapeutic 
like B12 hyperdermic needle so shoot it  
 
[Black Thought:] 
 
Lyrically elicit upstarts the explicit 
most wicked seven digit mic wizardmy tongue lashes out and strikes with it 
just slightly might miss it 
when I blast through your section or district 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
[Verse Two: Black Thought] 
 
In my formitive by my peers I was influenced 
until the instruments of time killed the congruence 
I peeped the blue prints on how to make true sense 
of MC's which are a nuisance I know just what to do sinceI'm on another lev. 
brothers is fakin' jacks and think they ready for the rev. 
but they got a lot to learn, to make theri thoughts long term 
'cause on theri short-cuts they made a wrong turn 
probably, timelessly I construct the firesome 
to rip your eardrum for many years to come 
professional style thinkin' rational to move wise 
so hard it's a wonder y'all alive... 
 
[Q-Tip:] 
 
...And still breathin', niggaz is dead and not even 
perpetuatin' real life the shit kicked is real trife ayo they fake bleedin' 
It's obvious that they needin' attention feedin' 
they cold actin' like heathens 
when mics is picked up MC's scenes is kicked up 
like women with the gripper drinking Moet 'till they hiccup 
fellas hustlin' picking bricks up 
fantasizin' about the illest stick up 
but rip up the jam and we be truly impressed 
on stage you won't need your tef. vest 
only a mic with and a mic test 
and at your best you get blessed by the fans who profess 
that they can relate  
with the trials you tribulate 
or the pains you endure  
'cause some cats is pure 
tell horors that are true but see cats like you 
y'all fake joints just tyo get a woo-woo 
the tear jerker 
you be that miracle worker 
whose miracle just ran out 
I think it's time you pan out 
or just plain fade, 'cause yo you played 
we 'bout to drop on you like the Everglades<
