Web (Album Version|Explicit) - The Roots
And it weights a ton
'Riq Geez motherf**kers I'm a son of a gun
Black master of any trade under the sun
Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue
Clear my path and come get your captain hung
Trying to breath like black'll collapse your lungs
Young chump you could choke off the web I spun
I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung
You done heard about what set I'm from
My ni**a word-a-mouth little rule-a-thumb
Y'all better bow down when the ruler come
I'm a real hood ni**a not a hood-a-lum
The way thought put it down be confusin' some of y'all
Cats can't walk while chewin' your gum 'n all
With a keyboard got do with a drum 'n all
School 'em on stage like I'm doin' a seminar
Professional type I'm adjusting my mic
Go to war kid I'll give you any weapon you like
Give you something to run from bust off your dum-dum
Stop kid that hot sh*t you know where it come from
It's Philly world-wide phenomenon
And reinforcin' that sh*t is my 9-to-5
And when I finish making you recognize
I'm getin' at a couple civilized women that's tryin' to ride
You were waitin' on the raw to come off the oil
You wanna get the b**ches up off the wall
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
To keep you in health this for all of y'all
I'm quick on the draw like black McGraw
And I can't tell what y'all cats rappin' for
My name 'Riq Geez and I'm back for more
To get more chips than the corner store
With a portrait of Malcom X on the door
While I'm eatin' MCs like a carnivore
Matter fact ease back 'fore you get harmed
Ring the warning horn when I'm gon' perform
The first ni**a that move or disturb the goove
I'm a have y'all flicks on the evening news
Play y'all part get on y'all P's and Q's
And when y'all think thought be prepared to lose
Bring money to spend and somebody to lend
And some worthwhile money not twenties and tens
Get took for your tuck right in front of your hens
Who coulda help you ni**a not none of ya friends
Because I put a black fist under ya chin
Have your physical remains found under the pen
If I'm coming up in the place I'm coming to win
Wasn't in it for a minute now I'm dumbin' again
'Riq Geez ock y'all can chat what y'all please
Receive what I'm gonna give back to y'all please
'Cuz y'all don't really wanna get clapped with all these
My man you can take y'all strap when y'all leave
You see the squad come in the place they all freeze
Ice cold with his mellow cool breeze
MCs never showed loyalty yet
Kool herc ain't never get a royalty check
I do work no question and bomb your set
I'm calm collect sharp like my name gillette
RIP my man gillette
