Ain’t Sayin’ Nothin’ New - The Roots

What the f**k what what what
Nuttin' new nuttin' new
What Nuttin' new check
Nuttin' new nuttin' new y'all not sayin' nuttin' new
I represent the legendary fifth dynasty crew
Nuttin' new nuttin' new y'all not sayin' nuttin' new
Nuttin' new nuttin' new y'all not sayin' check s**t out
It's nuttin' new nuttin' new y'all not sayin' nuttin' new
Nuttin' new nuttin' new
Ghetto related with this hit the whole world awaited
Y'all dorito head cats that yak and stagnated
Black thought the Doug E most war vete ran
Crown ruler soul controller of this lyrical land
Spliff wizard kid who is it
Fifth dinosaur ghetto beat detonator
Apex my level next my complex pattern of speech is like s*x
I mastered the art of makin' you snap the necks
And chase Manhattan endorse my mic checks
Upset poet threat
Just collectin' my debt yo I'm overpaid in dues
Blood tears and sweat when you f**kin' with the roots
That's as good as it get ultra magnet
We pull you in a drag net then brainwash your click
And extort your assets then roadie all your homies
On some old school s**t roots crew represent
Life's a gamble step up and place your bets
I drift through space then make my escape on through the 'net
With CD's cassettes no C O D 's or checks
Straight from the old school aiyyo raw's in full effect
I'm like Lex Luthor with rifles filled with kryptonite
When you grip the mic it's like c'mon kids let's say goodnight
You don't like me but don't even know why should you hate me
You scared to face these so I still remain safely
Confidin' north phil' where I'm residin'
Never let an outside n***a slide in
This ain't home plate I dunk on you once inside the paint
Flow like this you can't take me you out you ain't
Nuttin new nuttin new y'all not sayin nuttin new
Nuttin new nuttin new y'all not sayin nuttin new
Nuttin new nuttin new tell me what you could do
Yo we drop the funk and do the s**t
Yo head lost sippin' this limbic framboise
Spittin' it for like whoever demand the answer
What's the cure for this hip hop cancer Equivalent
To this avalanche of black snow rap flow
To get my people thinkin' mo' we at the brink of war
What does it all mean What's it all for
With knowledge of yourself then you're through the first door
My people hungry and thirst for more next music explore
It's heavenly to your ebony daughter next door
So what you think the roots get the world respect for
The splendid authentic hip hop that's raw core
Severe world premier a superior sophomore
No doubt wherever you dwell that's where the bomb fell
Explodin' from the imperial en sem ble for real
From the ven ue to the avenue
We truly only got respect for a few y'all ain't sayin' nuttin' new
Nuttin' new nuttin' new y'all not sayin' nuttin' new

Yo you lookin' for me Nah we lookin' for you

For you yo lyrical one two
Blow up y'all it's nuttin' new nuttin' new
Look at y'all you just a army ant I'm a gi ant arm fist
King of my city runnin' this s**t just like a ty rant
Y'all clowns know what I meant that's if we at war
Then my henchmen will be at your back door uhh
Waitin' wise at debatin' trippin' over legos
Runnin' up the steps and lookin' for a weapon
But you come out wavin' a white flag that's why
I just back slap that a*s like shaq did ostertag
Either take me or be taken you think I'm goin' down
Psych the jury they're still deliberatin'
I got half of they kids tied up in a basement
Nah I'm just playin' yo but that's how I'm playin' doe
Dig what I'm sayin yo D I C E
Shove a mic in your mouth like Ted Dibiase
When you come sloppy f**k is y'all tryin' to do
