The Roots — Pass the Popcorn

[Hook: Black Thought] *in background* "Pass the what? (Pass the popcorn)"(8x) It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around So the Black Thought gots to get down, y'all, yeah It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around So The Square Roots gotta get down, bust it [Verse 1: Black Thought] 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 soothe 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 [Chorus: Black Thought] *in background* "Pass the what? (Pass the popcorn)"(8x) It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around So the Black Thought had to get down y'all, yeah It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around ?uestion, would you come and get down? Bust it, c'mon [Verse 2: ?uestlove] 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 A rhythmic father and I'm givin' more than one child Abstract soloist drummin' 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 born On to Kid Crumb I pass the popcorn [Chorus: Black Thought] *in background* "Pass the what? (Pass the popcorn)"(8x) It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around ?uestion ripped the set and got down baby, yeah It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around Kid Crumbs, would you come and get down? C'mon [Verse 3: Kid Crumbs] 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 (Relax, baby, keep it underground, yo) From the crown of knotty 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] *in background* "Pass the what? (Pass the popcorn)"(8x) It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around Kid Crumbs ripped the set and got down, baby pah! It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around It looks like another one comin' around Black Thought, you know I gotta get down, bust it, yo [Verse 4: Black Thought] Honey, glazed, amazed at the art Black Thought displays 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 Popcorn is in my pocket then I guess it's rockin', yo The S-Q-T'n, Black Thought of seein' I know you're all agreein', I'm rockin' and I'm bein' Rippin' another chapter, just for you to clap ta To the sounds I maxed, I make you step just like a camper I pass the popcorn, lyrics 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 embarrassed As I pass the popcorn and get off the dome Yo, brother ?uestion, yo, Rubber Bandz, Square Roots Take it home [Outro: Black Thought] *in background* "Pass the what? (Pass the popcorn)"(24x) Another one's comin around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When the Foreign Objects get down y'all, yeah Looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When Crumbs and the Po'Fo' gets down, yo Looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When my man Malik Blunt gets down y'all, c'mon Looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When my man The Rubber Bandz gets down y'all, c'mon Looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When the brother ?uestion gets down, yo Looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When the group MU6 gets down, and yo It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around And when the man Black Thought gets down It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around It looks like another one's comin' around When my man Mr. Crumbs gets down It looks like another one's comin around (shut up!) . . . .
