The Hypnotic - The Roots

The Hypnotic - The Roots
Yo
I knew this girl named
Alana with mad persona
She delt with reality never
Fed it to the drama
I met her through my nigga
Named Jermaine Palmer
Who knew her through his
Peoples by the Baltimore harbor
Alana was a Marylan' thurough and attractive
Shorty that's relaxed with
Me and kickin back
Wif a phat flick to cool out
Was stressed cause the game'll
Make you wanna pull a tool out
And go the old school route
But all a that cease when that
Piece checkin the jewel out
A bruver was charged light a
Spliff and listen to the dabarge
Let the shorty hit me wif
A massage to annoint
Lubricatin my maridian points that
Was the Summer easy to remember
Alana was all up on to read the
Gender how I used to back bender
She even told her best friend Blinda from Virginia
Who asked me if I had a cousin
I could recomend a
But as time float on we grew
More mature and further apart
When I began to do tours
We lost contact
And slowly parted reminissin of when it started
It keep me feeling heavy hearted
A stolen moment periodic
Addicted to her presence like a narcotic
Though I wonder if she ever got it the hypnotic
That faded like a dream sequence that pursuaded
Beyond being infatuated spiritually intoxicated
Comps are dated I concentrated
On how to get in touch with her
Cuase the fact of the matter
Remain that I miss the hypnotic
The hypnotic the hypnotic cherk out
The hypnotic the hypnotic come on
The hypnotic the hypnotic cherk out
The hypnotic the hypnotic come on
The hypnotic the hypnotic cherk out
The hypnotic the hypnotic ye
The hypnotic the hypnotic cherk out
The hypnotic
I would begin to dial
Her number but knowin it's
Been awhile it's hard to link
I figure what she probly think
And soon start to drink
Fightin the feeling I'm concealin
Apparently I first appealin
Later revealin to be deeper
Resistance increasingly weaker
The essence of life is more
Than just mic's and puffin reefa
This universe of Black Thought that I can teach ya
I'm tryin to touch ya only if I can reach ya
I hit this kid I sign up on his beepa
And ask him if a had a chance to speak ta
Jermaine Palmer who fathers a preacha
To make the story short
Me and my man soon ran
Into each other von the
Humble at a show in San Fran
I said Yo Palma when did
You last see Alana
He offer me a seat and attempts
To make me calma
When he began to break it
Down my mind start to wander
Response beyond somber incredible crushed
Kinda feeling on my shoulder
That of a boulder
To find out that her life was over
It made the room feel colder
I thought I could get wif her when
She was a little older
But she a victim of the wicked system
That controlled a it's all chaotic
But if my life it's symbolic forever
Shadow on my mental I never forgot it
Yo the psycotic the hypnotic check
It out the Most Melodic hypnotic
Drifting
Drifting
