Diedre vs. Dice
The Roots Lyrics

Yo, look at all the scavengers
Observation of all the people trying to make it in the rap game

All wannabe contenders
These people are all trying to be successful in the industry

Dismember, wack niggaz I intend ta
The Roots plan to destroy any subpar rappers

Y'all ain't shit but sticky shit
You're not important, you're just a nuisance like gum stuck to the bottom of Timberlands

On the bottom of Timber-lands
The bottom of Timberland boots are often sticky and uncleanly

I know you clam heads want to surrender
The competition wants to give up

Don't even act like the battlefield the place you want to enter
The industry is too hard for them to handle

Yo niggaz is hopeless, you really need to focus
The competition is not good enough and need to improve themselves

On who's the fuckin' dope list or wind up hopeless
Focus on making good music else face a lack of success

Lookin' for some soup, tryin' to recoup
They're trying to make money by any means necessary

Some fuckin' loot, only thing you get is the boot
They're not going to make any money and will be kicked out of the game

To me these punk MC's is nothin' but fruit
The rappers in question aren't good enough and are being compared to fruit, a lesser value

Cakes, shake they booty on stage and get head
They're performers without any talent and will have sex as the only reward

With lyrics that I kick, talkin' that bullshit
The Roots are critical of other rapper's lyrics and find them lacking in substance

You might get lit like a front of a spliff
Confronting The Roots might lead to a negative outcome

For runnin', off at the lips talkin' that nonsense
If a rapper talks too much, they will be called out for their nonsense

Raw get on stage, take your confidence
The Roots will strip away any confidence the lesser rappers had

Break you off since powerful defense
The Roots have a strong defense and will easily defeat their competition
