Embed: You should know I'm not, for the run of the mill drill
I'm still trill, the flame thrower, the real deal
I don't coincide aside with the oddness
Your highness is where the pantheon of the gods is, I promise
I'm known for bein' brutally honest
If lyricism is spiritual to you then rewind this
I'ma kill 'em but it ain't about to be with kindness
I believe the industry about to see a conquest
Changin' all the mindset, money just a concept
Never been a object, even when my mother was livin' up the project
Now my waitin' is higher than young Richard Pryor get
Still speakin' my mind, just in a different dialect

It takes two to make anthropology
The student and the study
That being the case
It is time for the study to examinate the student
And to evaluate it's own self

I said
I seen it all, I had it all and I ain't mad at all
This rapper toss gravitas like a cannonball
Stayin' up all night throwin' my sleep pattern off
I need a doctor on call, I keep adderall
Position of my comission is trilateral
You fuckin' with me you trippin for tryin' that at all
I mess around, make the call, get the gat involved
I know people it's a small world after all
My credit card say it's onward at the mall
My broad lookin' like she Cinderella at the ball
Reborn every January like a Capricorn
From downtown no Ryan Lewis and Macklemore
It's yours truly, I'm Paul Mooney, I'm George Clooney
I'm fully emersed in the craft, bringin' awards to me
The bass player say he gon' sue me
I gave the finger to him, the Lord gave a round of applause to me
My soul winnin' I've been goin' [?]
[?] a nigga gone 'til it's no limit
The vision came to me so vivid
My observation was if money for a takin' I'ma go and get it
Y'all know my everyday [?]
I murk rappers and they can't play no possum
Another studio but it's the same old outcome
I told my nigga [?] we got one

Accurate scholarship and fee dedicated
Artists would reveal a singularly important thing

9th Vs. Thought Lyrics

215

21 pound


Huh
I'm not a typical arrogant American on prescribe medicine
I'm sick as I ever been
Rulin' out of the dealership and the McLaren
These rappers is Peter Pan, I'm pan-African
Space invader black and nem
Mixin' Alexander McQueen with Haider Ackermann
Real rapture in the form of a living man
I don't give a damn, not a mortal could test me
See I don't get examed
I'm a high priest and and a wild beast
Once warrior now chief
The mouth piece of the far East
And I'ma rock 'em, sock 'em robot
I drop bombs any flow I got
Come at you like "dot com"
You should know I'm not, for the run of the mill drill
I'm still trill, the flame thrower, the real deal
I don't coincide aside with the oddness
Your highness is where the pantheon of the gods is, I promise
I'm known for bein' brutally honest
If lyricism is spiritual to you then rewind this
I'ma kill 'em but it ain't about to be with kindness
I believe the industry about to see a conquest
Changin' all the mindset, money just a concept
Never been a object, even when my mother was livin' up the project
Now my waitin' is higher than young Richard Pryor get
Still speakin' my mind, just in a different dialect

It takes two to make anthropology
The student and the study
That being the case
It is time for the study to examinate the student
And to evaluate it's own self

I said
I seen it all, I had it all and I ain't mad at all
This rapper toss gravitas like a cannonball
Stayin' up all night throwin' my sleep pattern off
I need a doctor on call, I keep adderall
Position of my comission is trilateral
You fuckin' with me you trippin for tryin' that at all
I mess around, make the call, get the gat involved
I know people it's a small world after all
My credit card say it's onward at the mall
My broad lookin' like she Cinderella at the ball
Reborn every January like a Capricorn
From downtown no Ryan Lewis and Macklemore
It's yours truly, I'm Paul Mooney, I'm George Clooney
I'm fully emersed in the craft, bringin' awards to me

Black Thought (real name Tariq Trotter, born October 3, 1972) a.k.a. Bad Lieutenant, Big Bank Willie Gank, and 'Riq Geez B. is the MC of the Philadelphia-based hip hop group The Roots. Although nowhere near the most popular performer in hip-hop, Black Thought and The Roots have a solid and devoted following. Thought, who co-founded The Roots with drummer ?uestlove (Ahmir Thompson), is widely lauded for his lyrics' political bent, lyrical complexity, and his live performances.

Tariq and ?uest met in the Philadelphia High School for Creative Performing Arts, and formed a drummer/MC duo performing on the streets of Philly and at talent shows. Thought would subsequently spend some time as one of two MCs in the group The Square Roots: the other one was Malik B.

A name change (to simply The Roots) and an album release (Organix) Black Thought and Malik struck a balance, with Malik bringing more personal raps and Thought oriented more towards a more political style infused with battle raps.

After Malik B. left the group due to drug issues, Thought continued drifting toward the political, and was featured on several other records like Common's One Day it'll All Make Sense, Linkin Park's Reanimation and more recently its frontman Mike Shinoda's The Rising Tied, as well as Damian Marley's Welcome to Jamrock and The Coup's Pick a Bigger Weapon.

Black Thought was in the process of recording a solo album, but the project was shelved when it was realized the effort would not assist the group in their release from their contract with MCA Records. Some of the songs he had recorded were eventually released as tracks on The Roots' album Phrenology. He is working on a collaborative project with producer Danger Mouse (which, according to XXL magazine, is tentatively being called Dangerous Thoughts), as well as a Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama. He is still a core member of The Roots. He has also been a member of two production teams, Grand Negaz and The Grand Wizzards.

The Roots latest album Game Theory shows a more introspective side of Black Thought and is the "darkest" Roots album to date. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
