The Roots Song Wale is On

[Chorus: ?uestlove & Chrisette Michele]

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

[Post-Chorus - Black Thought]

So get your glass lift it up in the toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We not the kids cooling out on the sofa with it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We getting paper like John Travolta nigga

[Verse: Wale]

Hip-Hop ain't dead cuz the pulse is in us

I got the Everclear flow, they mimosa with it

We are the hope of the culture, they supposed to listen

And I'm supposed to pivot like I'm a forward in the league, I'm Oden with it

Yet don't owe them niggas nothing but potent lyrics

But if you ain't got the dance they revoke your spinning

So good rappers ain't eating they Olsen twining

But I'm so committed, they have grown familiar

With the counterfeit hitters they so-so with it, but they are Sosa with it

They Mark McGuire with the written, I'm Rodriguez

On the road to riches this is the fork I'm hitting

This is the trial and error era no co-defendant

I push The Seed every time like I'm Cody with it

I said the one-hit wonders pneumonia to us

I don't know you niggas, hit the road my nigga

[Chorus: ?uestlove & Chrisette Michele]

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

[Post-Chorus: Black Thought]

So get your glass lift it up in the toast position

We getting paper like John Travolta get it

Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad we so committed

We not the kids cooling out on the sofa with it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We getting paper like John Travolta nigga
