The Roots - Proceed (live at The Supper Club) lyrics

Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away? Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away? Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay I be the 5 foot 7, residing at the mecca lesson south section Used to cut cla** in the infinite pursuit of a** Back in eighty-six Easy with the chics I was a chocolate boy Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella Walking down the streets to the subway where i lay Til the train stop then a n***a hop Used to do the pop dance to the planet rock At the block party everybody jocked (who me?) It's the MC s**a n***as envy I got my contract in 1993 and I shall proceed Chorus: repeat 2X I shall, proceed And continue, to rock the mic Verse Two: I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon Break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom I'm flyer when I'm higher put my sh** up on a tomb That n***a represented on the 28th of June I'm representing philly on the 28th of June I can make you feel that i'm a surreal cartoon With my pistol in the face of hip hop, stick in your face Because i'm on a paper chase, yes i'm on a paper chase My Timberlands are fully laced I be the Mr. Boogeyman With records from 125th to Japan I laid them play like Johnny Hathaway and shake a hand, shake a hand Your lady tried to kick it, but I couldn't play my man My n***as is my n***as ya see she didn't understand I shake your hand and sh**'ll hit the fan, just think Just think, what? What if you could, just blink, what? Just blink yourself away? Chorus Verse Three: Malik B get on the mic yo there's too much on my mind (say what?) Malik get on the mic, there's too much on my mind Johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme f**in with The Roots you know them n***as is the dime I can make a hundred yard line start to dash I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash I can make Conan and the Titans clash I can Metallica and guns 'N Roses crash Used to smash crash parties like i was disturbed Used to make plots against the herringbone herb But now, all I do disperse the verb And like a nerd i can make you say, "He's superb" Word is perfect, never ever shall you misinterpret I move styles like bowels so now you know i'm worth it Direct from Philly, the lands where n***as scheme So you know I got the sheen in my gleam Chorus
