The Roots - Proceed 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-seven 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***az 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***az is my n***az 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***az 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
