Quills Lyrics - The Roots

Yeah, uhh, uhh, uhh 

Don't stop tonight 

(Uhh, don't stop yo) 

(Cheeba cheeba yo, soul shock yo, hah) 

You know it's [Incomprehensible] day, yeah 

(Give it everything you got, yo) 

(Once again it's time, it's time) 

It's time to ride 

(It's time to ride, ride, ride) 

Yo, piss in the staircase, blood on the pavement 

I fill the quills with it, let it spill on the pages 

Compose another anthem for the killers and manglers 

Villains and wranglers, fifth still in the chamber

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Cardi B Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Shit, I'm scientific, but my reflex's gangsta 

Pull outrageous arms from the floor of the basement 

Then bust 'nuff talons, if my people's in danger 

I'm Larry Davis, duckin' helicopter, hoverin' government agents 

We muscle the language, what we spit 

Will leave your shit in utter amazement 

I'm hot brolic call it contagious, the shit, The Roots started 

Got these other artists going through changes 

My vision is the strangest, the rhythm is anguish 

Y'all niggaz on the titty in your formative stages 

Is something in the iris and the way I spit 

That tell these other crab rappers, I ain't fo' no shit 

Black traumatic, so there you have it 

My battin' average, abort full of graphic assault, it's all classic 

Though, put ass backwards, rappers in a small package 

Experience is all that is, I'm well established 

Photos 

Me and the mic in holy matrimony like a marriage 

The technique in your reach, if only you could have it 

For me, it's automatic, it's natural, I'm mad thorough 

Poet for hired pack metal, you feel me? 

Don't stop tonight 

(Uhh, don't stop yo) 

(Cheeba cheeba yo, soul shock yo, hah) 

You know it's [Incomprehensible] day, yeah 

(Give it everything you got yo) 

(Once again it's time, it's time) 

It's time to ride 

(It's time to ride, ride, ride) 

Yo, the load heavy, we walk around a little edgy 

All ready and steady, withdrawal like Darryl Strawberry, it figures 

Niggaz mad from them ghetto sandwiches and swine 

Cryin' hard times, disadvantageous, man listen 

The story in the ghetto, the same 

Seem like it's just some things that never will change 

Give birth to a style and won't give it a name 

Talk 'bout consciousness, it's a different thing 

Envision again, the honorable 'Riq, General Hannibal speak 

The understandable diabolique, animal style 

Out of your dreams, kids, you're proud that you've seen this 

Fifth supreme linguist, a lyrical genius 

Inject you with the broke down English 

The most freshest and cleanest, three G's, guess what the fame is? 

Kareem beat's makin' me fiendish 

Don't act shaky and squeamish, if you real make me believe it, nigga 

Don't stop tonight 

(Uhh, don't stop yo) 

(Cheeba cheeba yo, soul shock yo) 

You know it's [Incomprehensible] day, yeah 

(C'mon, give it everything you got yo) 

(Once again it's time, it's time) 

It's time to ride 

(It's time to ride, ride, ride) 

Yo, the rebel Che Guevara, you felt another date 

You better don't copped off, create it just saved your cheddar 

I hit the studio with a pen and a vendetta 

Sippin' an ice cold Beck, huffin' the tenth letter 

Driftin', shots lickin' while the plot thickens 

Sands in the hourglass thinnin', the last inning 

The flash and the cash and the fast women 

It's nothing, a lust for a crab, keep the passion in it 

Blow, kissin' my tablet with firing pins 

Poke holes in the plastic for oxygen 

MCs jumpin' out shoes and socks again 

Must have seen their face in the news, it's gots to been 

Hella, thought known as the cure for cancer 

Same corrupt city as Mumia the Panther 

Man to man, hammer cocked, blocked and standoff 

Bang, gunfire slang up in the dance hall 

Yo, I hold the mic that could be thrown as a pipe bomb 

Bring it just to sling it at your favorite icon 

Think about my music, is it ain't shit like y'all? 

Though, diesel like a twenty-eight inch python 

You know, what I was sayin'? 

When I'm on the mic, there won't be no delayin' 

Don't stop tonight 

(Uhh, don't stop yo) 

(Cheeba cheeba yo, soul shock yo) 

You know it's [Incomprehensible] day, yeah 

(C'mon, give it everything you got yo) 

(Once again it's time, it's time) 

It's time to ride 

(It's time to ride, ride, ride)
