The Roots Ft Chrisette Michelle & Wale - Rising Up Lyrics

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long...

so I told her I got something you've been waiting for, I got something you've been waiting for

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that

the radio's been playing the same song all day long...

So get your glass lift it up in the toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We not the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We getting paper like John Travolta n***a

Well I'm a downtown shoota who that?

The crown ruler is back

He congruent to the shape of a mack

Look how I do it yo I'm takin you back

This how you rise down to the foundation how sacred is that? I'm from the number one place on the map

The generational gap with yet another sensational track

And we don't stress for nothing I just press the button

It's as simple as just makin it hap

To all the frauds stop fakin relax

And to the broads if you cakin

Then clap then shake it without breakin your back

I know the world been waitin for that you been aching fa that

Cause what they playin on the station is wack

And I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress

The best is that which I accept and nothing less

My stacks is grotesque my squad is so fresh

You know its Black Thought and your boy the Bro Quest, But...

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long...

So get your glass lift it up and in toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We got the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

You getting paper like John Travolta n***a so lets go...

Hip-Hop aint dead casue the pulse is in us

I got the everclear flow they mimosa wit it

We are the hope of the culture they posed to listen

And I'm posed ta pivot like i'm a forward in the league, im oden wit it

yet dont owe them n***az nottin but potent lyrics

But if you aint gotta dance they revoke your spinnin

So good rappers aint eatin they olsen twinin

but im so committed, they have grown familiar

With the counterfit hitters they soso wit it but they a sosa wit it.

they Mark McGuire wit the writtin I'm Rodriguez

on the road to riches this is the fork im hittin

this is the trial and error era no co defendant

I push the seed every time like I'm Cody wit it

I said they one hit wonders pneumonia to us

I don't know you n***as hit the road my n***a

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long...

So get your glass lift it up and in toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We got the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

You getting paper like John Travolta n***a so lets go...

where my grimey figures at? look lively addressing the captain

show me where your first impression is at

And where your dedication to the true profession is at

How you laugh answer me what kind of question is that

I'll show you where my rare essence is at the adolescence of rap

The real muscle in the message of that

my name trouble I'm a blessin to rap

and you can check my stats cause worldwide they attesting to that

so n***a listen you can probably learn a lesson perhaps

how I'm like bobby DeNiro Joe Pesc and them cats

am I the unsung hero oh yes if you askin anybody that's aware of the classics

they'll tell you I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress

The best is that which I accept and nothing less

My stacks is grotesque my squad? so fresh

You know its Black Thought and your boy the BroQuest, But...

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong, she told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long...

So get your glass lift it up in the toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We not the kids coolin out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We getting paper like John Travolta n***a!sv so lets go...
