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 sex 

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 fuckin with The Roots 

that's as good as it get, Ultramagnet 

We pull you in a Drag-net then brainwash your click 

and extort your assets, then roadie all your homies 

on some old school shit, Roots crew represent 

Photos 

(Dice Raw) 

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 nigga slide in 

This ain't home plate, I dunk on you once inside the paint 

Flow like this you cain't, take me you out, you ain't! 

(Black Thought) 

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 shit 

Yo, head lost, sippin this Lambic 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 

(Black Thought) 

Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

Represent the legendary Fifth Dynasty crew 

Roots crew comin through, tell me what you could do 

Yo you lookin for me? Nah we lookin for you 

Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

Represent the legendary. with nuttin to do 

For you. yo, lyrical one two 

Blow up y'all, it's nuttin new, nuttin new 

(Dice Raw) 

Look at y'all you just a army ant, I'm a gi-ant, arm fist 

King of my city, runnin this shit, 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 backslap that ass 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, fuck is y'all tryin to do? 

Y'all into, some wack shit, and ain't sayin nuttin new 

(Black Thought) 

Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

Represent the legendary Fifth Dynasty crew 

Roots crew comin through, tell me what you could do 

One two, one two, yo. we lookin for you 

One two, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new
