[black thought]

From the never never tunnels via satellite

Ceremonies be commencing in the candlelight

Yo is i is up in the res-in-iduals tonight

Absolutely because i'm the kid that's on the mic

And i believe it's destiny that i got put

In a position to throw lyrics like a shotput

Yo no matter the circumstance

Thought can always make you dance

Like you got the heebie-jeebies or a hotfoot

The bass is low on the meter less than zero

So while i'm sinning you be spinning like a planet

Yo if you dig the shit i'm sayin you'll be deeper

Wish for little and your wishes shall be granted

We plant the seeds y'all to grow the roots y'all

And mad knowledge i got from the archives

But now i got a crazy fat question:

What ever happened to leonard parts one to five?

Chorus: black thought (repeat 2x)

Why'd you ask me that question? (i don't know)

Where did leonard parts one to five go?

Why'd you ask me that question? (i don't know)

Word/uhh/yeah/...

Where did leonard parts one to five go..

[black thought]

Chariot chariot come swing low--be

Cause it's on a lower level that i swing low umm

?uestion keeps me up on the swing flow he

Don't got a whole name i call him bro the

Roots is comin through on your audio

For you to cut the roots down i don't think so

Because the sound from the ground is like be--low

And when the liquid kicks in then the roots grow

Now my ace boom coon plus amigo

Was shadrach meshach and n'bendago

There was a alpha to omega motion system

But i just call them a to o

And in all states the roots'll rock a fat show

Because i drop art like i was pa-blo

And pa-blo's last name was picasso

But as for cash flow i don't got no

Dividends and ends to spend on blow yo

Where did leonard parts to five go?

Chorus

[black thought]

Where's the third verse? here it comes here it goes

The second had oodles and oodles of..

Speaking of o's i'm hard to sink like a cheerio

And i speak up loud so you can hear me yo

Is it a tribe called quest? is it the j.beez?

We're cool like dat but yo we're not the d.p.'s

It's the group the roots with the organic rap style

Plus the groove from the rhythmic rhyme file

Umm.. i'm a big fan of the soul

But i'm trying to get this roots shit in control

So i hate when people say

"umm - you remind me of de la soul"

Cause i got a soul of my own and umm

Yo the roots are taking big steps and

You can listen as we progress in

Sometimes i might come to teach a lesson

Other times it's with a crazy question like..

Yo.. whatever happened to leonard parts one to five?

Word up; i don't know anyway roots up y'know

Uhh as we do it like this

Roots up roots up

Roots up roots up

Roots up roots up

Roots up roots up

Roots up.. up roots up-up

Roots up roots up-up

Roots up roots up-up

Roots up roots _up from the ground_

Roots up roots up with the sound

Roots up roots _up from the ground_

Roots up roots gettin on down

Roots up dig it

Roots up y'all roots up y'all

Roots is up roots is up roots is up y'all

Roots is up y'all roots is up y'all

Roots is up roots is up roots is up y'all

Roots is up..
