Swept Away (Live at Blue Note NYC)

Uh
As we continue on
Uh

MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away

The rhythm just sways
And like a sorcerer I slays
Foes and rivals who wanna come this way

They best to pay attention

Plus a pension, not to mention suspension
On the microphone plus the tension
Straight ate those, vacate foes if it's drama with my henchmen
Salams to my man Mussolini
Come get your whole staff cut in half
Half the half couldn't cream me
The lyrics make your head knock
Malik be your black door to dreadlock

Man, transgress and you'll catch lead, I
Question pounding on the drums like King Kong
We can ring your bells, ding dong
I smash with my vocabulary
The Roots the one you call your ultra adversary

Now you're all disturbed 'cause I'ma serve you like a table
Least the crew gon' reach you too and you get swept away

MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away

Yo, hello everybody, do I need to duck?
I be the mic mercenary, very unclear to your head
The exquisite pattern that you feel is known to be black butter, baby
Crazy cardiac, my attack on any fat rhythm I attract
Is how I slice the mic for tykes as I proceed

And continue to tend to
Business, kid, this is what I do

I'm insane and go against the grain like friction
Never on some diction, I'm just too slick, son
I rest where brothers pack and never act other than ill

And it's real in five double
So if you want trouble, let's stomp
My mission is to flip on calm
If you aspire to be fly as I
You must pay your dues
MC's who snooze and today shall be swept away
Check it out

MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away
MC's who slept for days
Must be swept away

Uh, talk to 'em
Yeah
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away
Shall be swept away

Won't be swept away
Word, talk to 'em
