Reviews about The Roots songs

The Chorus Lyrics | Reviewer: GeeZ
    ------ About the song Don't Say Nuthin' performed by The Roots

When the saint on the ground,

with the grind on rhyme,

with the niggas who grind with King Kong hitting Thailand,

give it here, and don't say nuthin'

just give it here, and don't say nuthin',

when the team on the set, hit, the gun gonna clap,

git it down on record,hey, umm, cut the check,

give it here, and don't say nuthin',

give it here and don't say nuthin'


small correction | Reviewer: Allen Penn
    ------ About the song Push Up Ya Lighter performed by The Roots

first verse, first line is not Southeast to Pennsylvania but is Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority if you've ever been to Philly you know he's talking about the public transportation system called SEPTA.


Wrong Chorus | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Don't Say Nuthin' performed by The Roots

The chorus is just gibberish except the words like "don't say nothin" and "cut the check." The chorus started at a practice session, where Black Thought was presenting an idea to the group about how the chorus should go, but he hadn't written all the lyrics. The band decided to keep the recording as the final chorus. These chorus lyrics are completely made up based on what someone thinks they heard. I know the roots personally.


What album is this song on? | Reviewer: Anonymous
