The Roots, Cassandra Wilson - Swept Away Lyrics

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away

The rhythm just sways and like a sorceress, I slays
Foes and rivals, who wanna come
This way, they better pay attention
Or a penchant not to mention suspension
From the microphone plus the tension
Trey-eight-o's will vacate those
If there's drama with my henchmen
Salaam to my man, Mussolini
Go get your whole staff, call the calf
'Cause half and half's couldn't cream me
The lyrics make your head knock
Malik B and Black Thought, the dreadlock
Man, trangressin'
You'll catch lead I, crushing
Poundin' on the drums like King Kong
We can ring your bell, ding-dong
I styles with my vocabulary
The Roots, the one to call your ultra adversary
Now you're all desert cause I'ma serve ya like a tray
To meet your doom Malik's the boom so you get swept away

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away

Yo, hello everybody do I need introduct'?
I be the mic mercenary, very unclear
To your ear, the exquisite pattern that you hear
It's known to be Black Butta Baby
Crazy cardiac, my attack on any fat rhythm
That I capture, kid, I snatch the mic from tykes
While I proceed (proceed) and continue (and continue) to tend to
Business kid, this is how I do
I'm insane, and go against the grain like freight
Never on no nigga dick, 'cause I'm just too hip
Plus, I rest where niggas pack and never act
Other than ill, shit is real in Phy-double
So, if you want trouble let's stomp
My mission is to flip on comp
You might aspire to be flier than I, you must pay
Your dues while I bruise niggas new for the day
Shall be swept away

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MC's who slept for days, must be
I'm on a mission
