Root Down (Edited / 2005 Remaster)

That's a record

I kick it root down

I put my root down

I kick it root down

I put my root down

So are we gonna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

Are you wanna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

So are we gonna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

Gonna break it all down

Gonna kick it root down

It's not a put down I put my foot down

And then I make some love

I put my root down

I'm like sweetie pie by the stone alliance

Everybody know

I'm known for dropping science

I'm electric like Dick Hyman

I guess you'd expect to catch the crew rhymin'

Never let you down with the stereo sound

So mike get on the mic and turn it out

We're talking root down I put my root down

And if you want to battle me

You're putting loot down

I said it's root down

It's time to scoot down

I know I'm step up to

The mic in my goose down

Come up represent from the upper west

Money makin' put me to the test

Sometimes I feel as though

I've been blessed

'Cause I'm doing what

I want so I never rest

Well I'm not coming out goofy

Like the fruit of the loom guys

Just strutting like the meters

With the look-ka py py

'Cause downtown Brooklyn

Is where I was born

But when the snow is

Falling then I'm gone

You do might think that I'm a fanatic

A phone call from Utah and

I'm throwing a panic

So kick it from the root when

We break it on down

Jimmy Smith is my man

I want to give him a pound

I kick it root down

I put my root down

I kick it root down

I put my root down

So are you wanna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

So are we gonna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

So are we gonna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

Break it all down

Gonna kick it root down

Ad Rock don't stop just get

On the mic with the tic and the toc

I'm gonna fill you with

The f**kin' rim like brim

I'm walking down your block

And you say that's him

There goes the guy with the funky sound

The Beastie Boys you

Know we come to get down

Because I've got the flow

Where I grab my dick and say

"Oh my God that's the funky sh*t"

So I'm a pass the mic and cause a panic

The original nasal kid is doing damage

Every morning took the train

To high street station

Doing homework on the train

What a f**ked up situation

On the way back up

Hearing battle tapes

Through the underground

Underneath the sky scrapes

It's like Harlem world

Battles on the Zulu beat show

It's kool moe D'vs busy

Bee there's one you should know

Enough of that just want to

Give some respect due M C A

Grab the mic and the ma bell connect you

Bob Marley was a prophet

For the freedom fight

If dancin' prays to the Lord

Then I will feel alright

I feel a good to play a little music

Tears running down

My face 'cause I love to do it

And no one can stop this

Flow from flowing on

A flow master of disaste

R with a sound that's gone

I'll take a little shout

Out to my dad and mom

For bringing me into

This world and so on

I kick it root down

I put my root down

I kick it root down

I put my root down

So are we gonna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

Are you wanna kick it

Gonna kick it root down

So are we gonna f**k it

Gonna kick it root down

Break it all down

Gonna kick it root down down

Incomprehensible)

And that's a record
