It's About That Time Lyrics - The Roots

Over the globe again from the realm of illadelph 

The planet overwhelmed yo just brace yaself 

Ya wanna go against me first face yaself i pose threat 

To whoever within ya commonwealth the top ten 

I'm crushing ya crap concoction 

To the utmost examine this upclose it's shockin 

Now mic droppin is only ya option 

Here come the spliff scientist in the flesh have you forgotten 

His excellency the most poetically inventive official hip hop shit 

That's ya incentive to cop this actual fact and not the likeness 

'cause possibly clones 'd try to do it like this 

Fathom this lyrically fabulous vocabulist 

Hold mic like four fifth and lick shot somewhat like pete 

Malik rock think not i don't smoke i just sleep drink and eat 

Think pot and i want the top a vehicle that brakes 

God i want the top a vehicle that brinks got composing 

To the ink sock my hip hop is wild megawatts 

Continue with forever exist and never stop 

Yo whut up whatever ock we can thicken tha plot because

Black Thought it's time for that and it's about that time 

[Rob O] 

I'm Rob 0 what, energize like a power plant blow speakers 

Without an amp do things these wack rappers can't 

And start again 33 rpm the hearts of men 

Are cold like the steel i hold on microphones 

Let my words express move men like chess 

My mic will stand erect like projects 

It's drastic top draft pick in this rap shit 

You just a fraction caught up in tha midst of action 

My catalog is current events breath the contents 

What i move crowds for local events the show stopper 

98 feature spot rocker rob odendo 

Now every mc wanna mention me out of envy 

Unofficially top of the charts i played my part 

Held it down from the start you know the M.O. 

Yeah yeah Rob Odendo

[Pete Rock] 

Yo it's the Capital P book rhymes of the century 

Speak rap line essientially on tha M-I-C 

I hold the mic appliance like science 

My competitors and clients worldwide as my words coincide 

With real life think twice transmit like true lies 

It's televised take my manuscripts out of context 

Who want next situation is complex 

Stop the nonsense it's 98 time to set the record straight 

Separate movers and shakers from those that hesitate 

Ya featherweight name carry weight in every state 

Ya name brand no frills niggaz is marinate 

It's pete rock new world innovator 

Crush immitators five years since the creator 

It's nuff said as i paint the town red and move ahead
