| Peace to all the hip cats, all the nappy sweets | |
| This is the brother ?uestion, broadcasting live | |
| Via satellite, from the never never tunnels | |
| Now dig.. the rituals for today, is good music | |
| So sit back, relax.. and dig the groove | |
| [black thought] | |
| Yo bust it, i digs hip-hop, and rocks for hip-hop | |
| Not r&b because to me that's not my style and | |
| The r-double-o-quotes ain't for radio, but major soul | |
| The ones that's hip won't change the dial and | |
| I remember one morning at the soul shack, coolin | |
| In the outback, on the songwritin ship | |
| Blizz a five, off a bob marley spliff | |
| On the cloud i be relaxin from last night and shit | |
| In studio today but hey brother ?uestion | |
| Was on the westside asleep without a clue when | |
| I hollered down to crumbs to pick up the phone | |
| And tell him to get ready (?uestion, what ya doin?) | |
| (ain't no thing) yeah, | |
| Buttered chicken wings, so i met him in the west | |
| Where we had to 'lax and wait for rubber band and bes' | |
| Bassey broke down on the other side of town | |
| Yo you know what it's about, the roots is out | |
| To the subway | |
| Does anybody like good music? | |
| Sweet music, soul music? | |
| You know the roots is a group that'll choose it | |
| Just to use it, to make you move it, yeah | |
| * repeat 2x except 'yeah' * | |
| [black thought] | |
| From the subway to the studio | |
| Gots to break fast if we wanna get, to the bus | |
| Runnin like a mex for the border | |
| (umm, yo, oh umm, was it a bunch of yas?) | |
| Nah, just the four of us | |
| Nuff nappy sweets on the transit, two fine | |
| (three fine) fo' five mo' fine, uhh! | |
| A girl says, "hey ain't y'all the square roots?" | |
| And i'm like, "heh, worrrd," | |
| And then the shorty passed the sign | |
| Now we got to make out exit (where?) | |
| To the pavement (to what?) crushin trail mix | |
| (oh word man, yo look out) say what? (look out!) | |
| ?uestion dropped a whole bag of drumsticks | |
| (ain't no thing) but a chicken wing, so | |
| He bends down to pick up the sticks | |
| And his pants fall down (dang!) | |
| In my face, ?uestion didn't frown, turned around | |
| And thought he felt a draft, so i laughed | |
| (hahahahahah!) | |

| Here comes the crumbs, from the chums of the p.o. | |
| Sprouted from the roots and i was added to the trio | |
| Now i'm cahoots and got a reason for my ego | |
| In the words of, los lobos, ad-ios, a-migo | |
| [black thought] | |
| At the rat cave, mic i'm hand, i'm flowin | |
| Tellin ?uestion, to keep it, goin | |
| What i'm doin, i'm not really knowin | |
| But umm, to me see it sounds oh-and-kay'n (it sounds ok) | |
| Layin, to the sounds playin | |
| Umm, hi to hoe and, yeah, hey to hay'n (uh-huh) | |
| Trippin, i'm tryin, not to laugh, bust it | |
| It's the last paragraph, and i'm done half | |
| But ?uestion's jokin, and i'm like hopin | |
| That nobody comes in and opens, the door... | |
