The Roots - Somebody's Got To Do It lyrics
"Somebody's Got To Do It"
 [Hook:]
 Somebody's gotta be there when it gets ugly
 Somebody's gotta be there when it gets bloody
 Somebody's gotta get their hands dirty
 Yo, it's a fucked up job but somebody's gotta do it
 Somebody's gotta come up with a plan
 And be there when the shit hits the fan
 I hope ya'll out there understand
 Look man it's a fucked up job, but somebody's gotta do it
 [Riq Gees:]
 Yeah ya'll, ideal for a lyrical perfectionist
 Raw, that's what every soldier in my collective is
 Thought, control level is that of a gold medalist
 My level headedness make it come off so effortless
 The rebel is a opposite extreme of devilish
 Back setting it with the answer to your deficit
 My track record is hot shit, consecutive
 Smug, I got game just like a record executive
 A kiss to the feminine girls loving a gentlemen
 A genius slash gangsta with a skill for swindling
 Bet on Black
 Bet these cats that's all gelatin
 Will fall back spittin' them raps that's unintelligent
 Raps that cap, rabid rattlin' out the gattlin'
 Crippling rhymes whistlin' past, blow you back in
 Smellin' your blood now I'm huntin'
 Blowin' your front in for frontin' what up cousin?
 Oh, now it's nothin'
 Yo, you can't go beyond a point of no returning
 I flip like my name Turner
 That's for certain nigga, Ted Turner, Nat Turner, nigga Ike Turner
 The raw sojourner for truth
 The mic burner
[Repeat Hook]
 [Jean Grae:]
 Mic malevolence defies violence I inherited
 Others just rentin' it like rooms at the Sheraton
 I gotta jones like Vanessa in the devil in-The Roots - Somebody's Got To Do It - http://motolyrics.com/the-roots/somebodys-got-to-do-it-lyrics.html
 And y'all cold like a show in the Netherlands
 Cold shoulders and frozen aortic valves -
 So I don't form pals - conform to norms - morals different
 Gifted - use it to shift shit a mutant shape shifter when I spit it I'm liquid
 You could lick a million shots at the character of the body shell
 They'll just richochette nigga aura's hard as hell
 Before there was ain't hard to tell
 The mic's cycle coincided right with mine as well
 Since a minor I walked with the spine upstraight
 I learned to rhyme to feed the dinner plate
 I scraped barrel - even dined up on wine and steaks
 Cuz in the bone same marrow that apartheid chased
 The narrow margin with the haves and the have nots
 Will get smaller as I approach - so watch your stash box
 Fox logo if your fave is local
 Get bruised till you're the color of the Laker's logo
 This is work niggas
[Repeat Hook]
 [Mac:]
 I made it - ain't nobody believe in me
 But this rap game is like selling coke legally
 Ain't no innovations - that takes concentration
 Nigga's celebrating not knowing the time they wasting
 Killin' mics is one of my aesthetics
 Rip very live so I'm an entertainer like Cedric
 Shit they play on radio's now give me a headache
 Can't slow me down I know where I'm headed
 The profit on kill if you let it
 Nigga's feeling energetic
 Wanna rumble - guns will come out
 Here come the paramedics
 I'm just trying to live like I've Devin
 Tired of my people failin'
 We all sin - the devil, what di I tell em
 Somebody gotta get their hands dirty and shoes muddy
 I see things vividly, ya'll vision is blurry
 Even if you hate - through my music you gone love
 Everybody with me and they was with me when it was ugly
[Repeat Hook]
