No Great Pretender

The Roots

[Malik B]



Check it out, one two



M-illi-tant



I be the, alias Malik B



Internationale rationale



All the people up 68th Ave.



and across Broad Street



or Silk Lane in South Philly



And on, et cetera



Check it out, check it out




Chorus: The Roots




Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders



So when we begin to assassinate your cast members



Here on this agenda, there is no pretenders



So when we begin to assassinate your cast members




Verse One: Malik B




Dig it, cool calm collect in my perspective



Search the premises, I leave no clues for detectives



My verbal impact across your back slap



You talk about you see me, but your vision's full of cataract



It don't matter that, your glass house I shatter that



Bad luck I walk under now show me where the ladder at



Pull up the urinal organs up in your bladder cat



Approachin you with shriller rhetoric, as if you had a sac



Now crews down for it, your gas pedal floor it



with ammo and artillery and stash spots to keep and store it



I used the banner of a slant with a zort



Change your strategic plan, my man's getting bored



Your vocal chord is fraudulent, and not the true porcelain



I bring the fire, earth, and the source of wind



The force of sin will endorse the pen



We all search for sanity, but I think that it was lost again



Now which stick of artists, can be the smartest



My beam of sunlight shines the brightest in the forest



Regardless, artists dislike because I'm ?



Control the temper, makin MC's whimper



I tilt the Earth from off the axis in the center



Next I'm in the womb like a placenta



M-Illi-Tant the city ninja, uplift



cause I'm the soul avenger,
