Take It There Lyrics - Game Theory - The Roots

Yeah, come stand up, stretch for the stars 

Get somebody else involved right next to ya 

Y'all elected me to keep it so fresh for ya 

Just 'cause I make it possible for the rest of ya 

To just take it there come on and get your head ringin' 

From the sting of the snare, spine tingle elevating every singular hair 

All the way from South Philly on a wing and prayer 

And still bringin' it yeah 

Come on take it here 

Come on take it here 

Let's take it here 

Come on take it here 

I'm from the side of town where shots get sprayed around 

Where the expectancy rate be twenty-eight around 

Downtown battleground where cops parade around 

Have your whole view of life beyond jaded

Watch Cardi B Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

How everybody sick of breaking down, tryin' a make it out 

Hand over fist the only way to get the paper down 

People tired of gettin' pushed around, gettin' gangsta now 

Discipline the only way to bring some kinda change around 

Chain cirgarette smokin' with bad nerves 

And brothas with bad lungs from smokin' mad herb 

Whoever in the dark is unseen and heard 

Let's submerge, I can feel something close we on the verge 

Talkin' 'bout, to my street sweepers, hotel housekeepers 

And my people spillin' this out through jail house speakers 

Some people rather use than might than use heaters 

Some people rather lose they life than lose freedom for real 

Come on take it here 

Let's take it here 

Come on take it here 

Come on take it here 

Photos 

Let's take it here 

I'ma take it here 

Come on take it here 

Come on take it here 

Society's time bomb laying dormant 

Our people disenfranchised for the free world 

Oil for food but they still hungry, no democracy 

They said one vote equals one voice 

But he told you if he can't work to make it 

He'll rob to take it, the villains 

Abandoning the planet and the people 

Another hot summer yo, they 'bout to flood the prisons 

This ain't no Bo Diddley, it's a do somethin' 

Flash light, red light, proceed ahead right 

Straight into them headlights, you get your head right 

Head right get a third strike, hit the turnpike 

Life quicker than spliff that wouldn't burn right 

Make you wanna holla 'bout it, it ain't no doubt about it 

Every now and then you gotta stand up and shout about it 

And I'll be shoutin' it to, as if a shout'll count 

Yo they got accountin' to do, re-amount the ballot 

The shit more puzzlin' than a jigsaw 

Raw pitbulls hustlin' through the pitfalls 

Some of y'all toys let the laughter rip roar 

Heart felt truth in every lyric I spit forth, raise up time to lift off 

Written on a lega pad, poetry that sizzle the clip board 

My OG, my homey who taught me to deal 

Said a prayer that's the only time you should ever kneel 

And that's real, I'm a take it there 

Come on take it here 

Let's take it here 

Come on take it here 

Come on take it here 

Let's take it here 

Come on take it here 

I'ma take it here 

Come on take it here 

Let's take it here
