Swept Away
The Roots Cassandra Wilson Lyrics

MC's who slept for days, must be swept away
MCs who are not on their game and have been ignoring their craft have no place here and must be taken care of

The rhythm just sways and like a sorceress I slays
My flow is so smooth and effortless that it's almost magical when I rap

Foes and ri-vals, who wanna come This way, they better pay attention Or a penchant not to mention suspension
Anyone who wants to challenge me better be prepared because they might face consequences such as suspension from the music industry

From the microphone plus the tension Trey-eight-o's will vacate those If there's drama with my henchmen
If anyone starts something with my crew, we'll make sure they leave empty-handed and won't come back for more

So lamp to my man Mussolini Go get your whole staff, call the calf Cause half-and-half's couldn't cream me
I'm strong and confident, even when facing a group of opponents, just like Mussolini. Even if they bring their best, they won't be able to top me

The lyrics make your head knock Malik B and Black Thought, the dreadlock Mannn, transss-gressin You'll catch lead I, crushing
My rhymes are so powerful that they'll make your head nod uncontrollably. I'm not afraid to call out transgressions and take people down if they mess with me

Poundin on the drums like King Kong We can ring your bellll, ding-dong I styles with my vocabulary The Roots the one to call your ultra adversary Now you're all desert cause I'mma serv ya like a tray To meet your doom Malik's the boom so you get swept away
We beat on our drums like beasts and we'll knock you out with our rhymes. We're the ones to call if you want to take down a formidable opponent. You'll be left dry and lifeless, with Malik's rapid, powerful flow taking care of you

Yo hello everybody do I need introduct I be the mic mercenary very un..clear To your ear the exquisite pattern that you hear It's known to be Black Butta Baby
I may not need an introduction, but just in case, I'm the mercenary of the microphone with a flow so unique and intricate that you won't even notice the lack of clarity in my voice. And you know me, I'm Black Butta Baby

Crazy cardiac my attack on any fat rhythm That I capture kid I snatch the mic from tykes While I proceed and continue to tend to Business, cause this is, how I do
My assault on any beat is unmatched, and I'll take the mic from anyone who can't keep up. I'm here to handle business and this is just how I operate

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 flyer than I, you must pay Your dues while I bruise niggas new for the day Shall be swept away
I'm a nonconformist and I'll do things my own way. I'm confident but not arrogant, and I stay true to myself and my roots. If you want to challenge me, let's do it, but be prepared for a fight. I'll take on all opponents and make them pay their dues, leaving them defeated in the end

There's somethin goin on Because there's somethin goin on Yeah, somethin's goin on Yeah, somethin goin on Y'all know there's somethin goin Because there's somethin goin on She knows there's somethin goin on Yeah, somethin goin on Y'all know there's somethin goin on Yeah, somethin's goin on Because there's somethin goin on Yeah, y'all know what's goin on
There's an underlying energy and movement that's happening and everyone can feel it. Something big is coming and everyone can sense it
