歌詞
[Verse 1]
I kick it root down
I put my root down
I kick it root down
I put my root down
[Verse 2]
So how we gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
Yeah, how you wanna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
So how you gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
Gonna break it all down
Gonna kick it root down
[Verse 3]
It's not a put down, I put my foot down
And then I'm making some love, I put my root down
I'm like Sweetie Pie by the Stone Alliance
Everybody knows 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
[Verse 4]
We're talking root down, I put my boot 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
So I'ma step up to the mic in my goose down
Come up represent from the Upper West
Money makin' putting me to the test
Sometimes I feel as though I've been blessed
Because I'm doing what I want so I never rest
[Verse 5]
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 am gone
You might think that I'm a fanatic
A phone call from Utah and I'm throwing a panic
We break it to the root when we kick it on down
Jimmy Smith is my man, I want to give him a pound
[Verse 6]
I kick it root down
I put my root down
I kick it root down
I put my root down
[Verse 7]
So how you wanna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
So how we gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
So how we gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
Break it all down
Gonna kick it root down
[Verse 8]
Well Ad-Rock (Huh) don't stop
Just get on your mic with the tic and the toc
Well I'll fill you to the fuckin' rim like brim
I'm walking down your block and you say, "That's him"
"There goes the guy with the funky sound"
The Beatsie 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 shit"
So I'ma pass the mic and cause a panic
The original nasal kid is doing damage
[Verse 9]
Every morning I took the train to the High Street station
Doing homework on the train, what a fucked 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 versus Busy Bee there's one you should know
Enough of that, I just want to give some respect due
MCA grab the mic and Ma Bell will connect you
[Verse 10]
Bob Marley was a prophet for the freedom fight
"If dancin' prays to the Lord then I will feel alright"
I'm feeling 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 disaster with a sound that's gone
Take a little shout out to my Dad and Mom
For bringing me into this world and so on
[Verse 11]
I kick it root down
I put my root down
I kick it root down
I put my root down
[Verse 12]
So how we gonna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
How you wanna kick it?
Gonna kick it root down
So how we gonna rock it?
Gonna kick it root down
Break it all down
Gonna kick it root down, down
[Verse 13]
(Yeah, that shit's for real)
And that's a record, that's a record 'cause of Mario
And that's a record, that's a record 'cause of Mario
And that's a record, that's a record 'cause of Mario
(Oh now, that's a record right there)
