[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..
