Peace to all the hip cats, all the nappy sweets
   This is the BROther ?uestion, broadcasting live
   via satellite, from the Never Never Tunnels
   Now dig.. the rituals for today, is good music
   So sit back, relax.. and dig the groove
  
   [Black Thought]
   Yo bust it, I digs hip-hop, and rocks for hip-hop
   Not R&B because to me that's not my style and
   the R-double-O-quotes ain't for radio, but major soul
   the ones that's hip won't change the dial and
   I remember one morning at the Soul Shack, coolin
   in the outback, on the songwritin ship
   Blizz a five, off a Bob Marley spliff
   On the cloud I be relaxin from last night and shit
   In studio today but hey BROther ?uestion
   was on the Westside asleep without a clue when
   I hollered down to Crumbs to pick up the phone
   and tell him to get ready (?uestion, what ya doin?)
   (Ain't no thing) Yeah,
   Buttered chicken wings, so I met him in the West
   where we had to 'lax and wait for Rubber Band and Bes'
   Bassey broke down on the other side of town
   Yo you know what it's about, The Roots is out
   to the subway
  
   Does anybody like good music?
   Sweet music, soul music?
   You know The Roots is a group that'll choose it
   just to use it, to make you move it, yeah
   * repeat 2X except 'yeah' *
  
   [Black Thought]
   From the subway to the studio
   Gots to break fast if we wanna get, to the bus
   Runnin like a Mex for the border
   (Umm, yo, oh umm, was it a bunch of yas?)
   Nah, just the four of us
   Nuff nappy sweets on the transit, two fine
   (three fine) fo' five mo' fine, UHH!
   A girl says, "Hey ain't y'all The Square Roots?"
   and I'm like, "Heh, worrrd,"
   and then the shorty passed the sign
   Now we got to make out exit (where?)
   to the pavement (to what?) Crushin trail mix
   (oh word man, yo look out) Say what? (look out!)
   ?uestion dropped a whole bag of drumsticks
   (Ain't no thing) but a chicken wing, so
   he bends down to pick up the sticks
   and his pants fall down (dang!)
   In my face, ?uestion didn't frown, turned around
   and thought he felt a draft, so I laughed
   (HAHAHAHAHAH!)

   Here comes the Crumbs, from the chums of the P.O.
   Sprouted from The Roots and I was added to the trio
   Now I'm cahoots and got a reason for my ego
   In the words of, Los Lobos, ad-ios, a-migo
  
   [Black Thought]
   At the Rat Cave, mic I'm hand, I'm flowin
   Tellin ?uestion, to keep it, goin
   What I'm doin, I'm not really knowin
   but umm, to me see it sounds oh-and-kay'n (it sounds OK)
   layin, to the sounds playin
   Umm, hi to hoe and, yeah, hey to hay'n (uh-huh)

   It's the last paragraph, and I'm done half
   But ?uestion's jokin, and I'm like hopin
   that nobody comes in and opens, the door...
