Step Into The Realm - The Roots

Step into the realm, you’re bound to get caught

And from this worldly life, you’ll soon depart

Yo, I walk a-cross this, world that’s deceptive

Beats are perfected, the ghetto’s infested

with more destruction, my vocal eruption

was speakin bout corruption with no introduction

Approach me with caution cause I spark losses

M-Illitant the rap arson, marchin

Leavin niggaz stiff like I’m starchin, departin

Hollywood Sambos and jokes just like Martin

I’m the type of nigga that belongs in a ward

with a mic and a cord, to hold your head with a sword

Some proclaim lames, callin theyselves bold

They shall be flawed, when the claps applaud

If this a point of life, one I can’t afford

Then I have to get sheist and I deal in fraud

Now back to the topic of, the rap philosopher

With more drama than a soap opera

Who stops the propoganda, the hot block commander

Puttin a halt to all the backtalk and slander

Warn every challenger, about the silencer

Muzzle in your mouth for the days that’s on the calendar

I’m from the valley of the heavyheads, watch the ghetto pre-medical

undergrads, and steady red faces of stone

Eyes are crevices, life like a double negative

Philly crimin-al, I rhyme my, dirt Tariq already did

Buildin this, Fifth foundation in the wilderness

Thought-less, trespass and enter Thought’s fortress

Limitless entrance, paid, to the order of the

cypher slaughterer, my mic slappin you senseless

Defenseless, niggaz never movin me inches

The beat Fifth, invisi-ble in the trenches

Afficiando, awesome hip-hop drug problem

Fuck stardom, and chickens up in Gotham

Poltergeist, slit or choke the mic, til it scream to me

STOP THAT, cash we conveniently got that

I stroll through your scenery cocked back

Me and Hot Mack, the nine-eight, El Dorado Cadillac Jacks
