The Roots - Right On lyrics

[Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome] We should shine a light on, a light on Book I write on, write on, it's right on [Black Thought] Yo, I try to get it how I live it A lot of people counting on me, kinda like a digit It's a cold world, I'm not fronting like it isn't It's no time for coming up shorter than a midget Y'all know I'ma raise the bar though like Bridget See there a star go, don't blink, you might miss it It's precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it The light comes in different types, be more specific sh**, I'm Black Thought, what could be more prolific? For this love, I go above and beyond a limit I told y'all I'm above and beyond a gimmick I get into your head and spread like a pandemic I never put myself in a race I can't finish I'm well-grounded, founded on the same premise as any man with hit list that's bout business Yo, can a brother get a witness? Dig it, right on! [Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome] [STS] Aight, okay, I'm above and beyond hot, my measurement in watts Time rate and flow of energy ain't never gon' stop Pressure's on, I won't pop, microphone I won't drop Gemstones n***as cop ain't sh** if I ain't in the spot It's the Orion of the Hop, the new star of the Hip I shine a light for the future so my presence a gift It's evident I'm heaven scent with Thomas Edison elements Reverence for what I represent to show my benevolence This is Philly, I'm repping for the art of the city Came from South West Atlanta, gave my heart to the city where slugs fly, thugs cry, cause every part of it's gritty n***as shooting up the club like they partied with Diddy You get the diggy, I flick my incandescence to fluorescence and in essence, I can burn with joules of energy per second I put 'em onto lessons while I'm smoking on the blessing The switch hitter like Pete Rose right of possession, right on! [Chorus 2X: Joanna Newsome]
