Right On (Explicit) - The Roots/Joanna Newsom/STS

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

Yo I try to get it how I live it

A lotta people counting on me kinda like a digit

It's a cold world I'm not frontin' like it isn't

It's no time for comin' up shorter than a midget

Ya'll know I'm a raise the bar though like *****in'

You see all them stars don't blink you might miss it

It's precious cargo you gotta be strong to lift it

The light comes in different types be more specific

Sh*t I'm black thought what could be more prolific

For this love I go above beyond the limit

I told ya'll I'm above and beyond the gimmick

I get into your head and spread like a pandemic

I never put myself in a race I can't finish

I'm well grounded founded on the same premise

As any man with a hitlist it's about business

Yo can a brother get a witness

Dig it right on

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

Alright

Okay I'm above and beyond hot

My measurement in watts

Time rate and flow of energy

Ain't never gonna stop

Pressure's on I won't pop

Microphone I won't drop

Gemstones niggas caught me

Sh*t if I ain't in the spot

Still rhymin' on the hot

New star on the hip

I shine a light for the future

So my presence a gift

It's evident I'm heaven sent

With time and add it elements

Reference for what I represent

To show my benevolence

This is Philly

I'm rapping for the art of the city

Came from southwest Atlanta

Gave my heart to the city

With slugs flying thugs crying

Every part of it's green

Ni**a's shootin' up the club

Like they partyin' with Diddy

Get the diggy

I bring my incandescence to florescence

And In essence

I can burn out more energy per second

I put morning lesson

While I'm smokin' on the blessing

A switch hit like Pete Rose

Let's hit a session

Right on

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

We should shine a light on

A light on

And the book of right-on's right on

It was right on

Take it to the very top

I'm gonna do a snare roll
