It looks like another one’s comin around (3X)

So The Square Roots gotta get down, bust it


Yo, I wrote this, basement, Never Never Tunnels type portion

Just to accompany some audio distortion

Bust the popcorn, drop it onto my cassette and

bust it, Kid Crumbs, how ya feel?(I’m feelin blessed man)

Yeah, The Square Roots be the setters of examples

Findin rhythm in the static of your samples

Makin you move to the groove as we sooth

the ear of the listener on the musical

Prisoner G, now you’re free you can be all you wanna be

Go where you want or go and see all you wanna see

Because yo, your ambitions I won’t neglect

And to the brothers who ain’t here, nuff respect

So BROther ?uest, how ya livin, what ya givin black?

To me the brother with the linens and the applejack;

busy til the break of dawn

The first verse is poured I pass the popcorn

So the Black Thought had to get down y’all, yeah

?uestion would you come and get down, bust it, c’mon


Check it out, secondly

it’s me the BROther ?uest from the S-Q-T (Square Roots)

And he’s Black Thought, the boy you know is (FUNKY)

The rhythms I recycle sometimes prehistoric

The mic for the popcorn’s like it’s metaphoric (metaphoric baby)

So many different factors in the ?uestion’s style

Arrythmic by the end, I’m givin more than one child

Abstract soloist comin from the heart

All the way from Philly, from the West part

Relax your mind and let your body be at rest

Flow in slow mo’, and let the BROther manifest

Now the second verse has been pourn

On to Kid Crumb I pass the popcorn


* in background: “Pass the what?(Pass the popcorn)” 4X *


It looks like another one comin around (3X)

?uestion ripped the set and got down baby, yeah


* in background: “Pass the what?(Pass the popcorn)” 4X *


It looks like another one comin around (3X)

Kid Crumbs would you come and get down, c’mon


Blessed is the next at the second still before the 4th is passed

I’m gassed off the edible raps, and that’s illegible

Tommy used to bug, when I come around

Screamin at the top of my lungs — you gots to get down

Now, they heard the sound and wanna give the kid a pound

on the down low *whispering* Relax baby, keep it underground yo

From the crown of notty hair that I wear to the funk feet

Wonder why the sisters dig the brother missin five teeth

Peace I gots to rock so pass the popcorn and shit

Quick to lick a shot to umm, Wheezy, and Cricket

Used to kick it in the house until I got myself evicted

Now The Crumbs is restricted to the popcorn, elected

from The Roots, I griff the rest and share the stash of popcorn

Back to Black Thought, rock on (and on)

And on (and on) and on (and on)

And on (and onnnnnn), pass the popcorn!

Black Thought, you know I gotta get down, bust it, yo


Honey, glazed, amazed at the art Black Thought dis-plays

I get mad props and the compliment pays

Makin me more funky and it shows on stage

Word right BROther cause I’m goin through a phase

I wanna be a pioneer so trails I blaze

Straight past the days when I used to be enslaved

But don’t eat all the popcorn BROther ?uest (What?)

Yo BROther ?uest say it

A bit for my hit makin it legitimate and give

credit to the attitude you set it don’t forget well it’s

gotta be live, cause that’s the way I’m rockin it and

pop-corn is in my pocket then I guess it’s rockin yo,

the S-Q-T’n, Black Thought of seeing

I know you’re all agreeing, I’m rocking and I’m being

Ripping another chapter, just for you to clap ta

To the sounds of vexed I make you step just like a camper

I pass, the popcorn, the mix I drop on the mic

gon’, have you hummin my song, all the way home

It’s cool and as long, as you and the song, be mellowin out

together cause it’s kind of peace I’m not embarrased

as I pass the popcorn, and get off the dome

Yo BROther ?uestion, yo Rubber Bandz Square Roots

take it home
