The Roots — Right On lyrics

Lyrics

We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on Yo, I try to get it how I live it A lotta people counting on me, kinda like a digit
It’s a cold world, I’m not frontin' like it isn’t
It’s no time for comin' up shorter than a midget
Ya’ll know I’m a raise the bar though, like bitchin'
You see all them stars don’t blink, you might miss it It’s precious cargo, you gotta be strong to lift it The light comes in different types, be more specific
Shit, I’m black thought, what could be more prolific
For this love I go above, beyond the limit
I told ya’ll I’m above and beyond the gimmick
I get into your head and spread like a pandemic
I never put myself in a race I can’t finish
I’m well grounded, founded on the same premise
As any man with a hitlist, it’s about business
Yo, can a brother get a witness?
Dig it, right on We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on Alright
Okay, I’m above and beyond hot
My measurement in watts
Time rate and flow of energy
Ain’t never gonna stop
Pressure’s on I won’t pop
Microphone I won’t drop
Gemstones, niggas caught me Shit if I ain’t in the spot
Still rhymin' on the hot
New star on the hip
I shine a light for the future
So my presence a gift
It’s evident I’m heaven sent
With time and add it elements
Reference for what I represent
To show my benevolence
This is Philly
I’m rapping for the art of the city
Came from southwest Atlanta
Gave my heart to the city
With slugs flying, thugs crying
Every part of it’s green
Nigga’s shootin' up the club
Like they partyin' with Diddy
Get the diggy
I bring my incandescence to florescence
And In essence
I can burn out more energy per second
I put morning lesson
While I’m smokin' on the blessing
A switch hit like Pete Rose
Let’s hit a session
Right on We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on We should shine a light on A light on And the book of right-on's, right on It was right on Take it to the very top
I’m gonna do a snare roll
