Ain`t Sayin` Nothing New Lyrics

[Black Thought - amidst ad libbing voices] 

 What the fuck, what what what? 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new.. 

 What? Nuttin new.. check 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 I represent the legendary Fifth Dynasty crew 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin, check shit out 

 It's nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new... 

 

 Ghetto related with this hit the whole world awaited 

 Y'all Dorito-head cats that yak and stagnated 

 Black Thought, The Doug E. Most war vete-ran 

 Crown ruler, soul controller of this lyrical land 

 Spliff wizard kid, who is it? 

 Fifth Dinosaur Ghetto, beat detonator 

 Apex my level, NEXT, my complex pattern of speech is like sex 

 I mastered the art of makin you snap the necks 

 And Chase Manhattan endorse my mic checks 

 Upset, poet threat 

 Just collectin my debt, yo I'm overpaid in dues 

 blood tears and sweat, when you fuckin with The Roots 

 that's as good as it get, Ultramagnet 

 We pull you in a Drag-net then brainwash your click 

 and extort your assets, then roadie all your homies 

 on some old school shit, Roots crew represent 

 

 [Dice Raw] 

 Life's a gamble, step up and place your bets 

 I drift through space, then make my escape on through the 'net 

 With CD's, cassettes, no C.O.D.'s or checks 

 Straight from the old school, aiyyo Raw's in full effect 

 I'm like, Lex Luthor with rifles filled with kryptonite 

 When you grip the mic it's like -- c'mon kids, let's say goodnight! 

 You don't like me?! But don't even know why should you hate me 

 You scared to face these so I still remain safely 

 confidin, North Phil' where I'm residin 

 Never let an outside nigga slide in 

 This ain't home plate, I dunk on you once inside the paint 

 Flow like this you cain't, take me you out, you ain't! 

 

 [Black Thought] 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, tell me what you could do 

 Yo we drop the funk, and do the shit 

 

 Yo, head lost, sippin this Lambic Framboise 

 Spittin it for like whoever demand the answer 

 What's the cure for this hip-hop cancer? Equivalent 

 to this avalanche of black snow, rap flow 

 to get my people thinkin mo', we at the brink of war 

 What does it all mean? What's it all for? 

 With knowledge of yourself, then you're through the first door 

 My people hungry and thirst for more next music explore 

 It's heavenly to your ebony daughter next door 

 So what you think The Roots get the world respect for? 

 The splendid authentic hip-hop that's raw core 

 Severe, world premier, a superior sophomore 

 No doubt, wherever you dwell, that's where the bomb fell 

 Explodin from the imperial en-sem-ble, for real 

 From the ven-ue to the avenue 

 We truly only got respect for a few, y'all ain't sayin nuttin new 

 

 [Black Thought] 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Represent the legendary Fifth Dynasty crew 

 Roots crew comin through, tell me what you could do 

 Yo you lookin for me? Nah we lookin for you 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Represent the legendary.. with nuttin to do 

 For you.. yo, lyrical one two 

 Blow up y'all, it's nuttin new, nuttin new 

 

 [Dice Raw] 

 Look at y'all you just a army ant, I'm a gi-ant, arm fist 

 King of my city, runnin this shit, just like a ty-rant 

 Y'all clowns know what I meant, that's if we at war 

 Then my henchmen, will be at your back door, uhh 

 WAITIN, wise at debatin; trippin over Legos 

 Runnin up the steps and lookin for a weapon 

 But you come out wavin a white flag; that's why 

 I just backslap that ass like Shaq did Ostertag 

 Either take me or be taken, you think I'm goin down? 

 PSYCH, the jury, they're still deliberatin 

 I got half of they kids, tied up in a basement 

 Nah I'm just playin yo but that's how I'm playin doe 

 Dig what I'm sayin yo? D-I-C-E 

 Shove a mic in your mouth, like Ted DiBiase 

 When you come sloppy, fuck is y'all tryin to do? 

 Y'all into, some wack shit, and ain't sayin nuttin new 

 

 [Black Thought] 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Represent the legendary Fifth Dynasty crew 

 Roots crew comin through, tell me what you could do 

 One two, one two, yo.. we lookin for you 

 One two, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Represent, Fifty Dynasty crew 

 Check it out, what? Well one-two one-two, one-two 

 Knahmsayin yo? It's nuttin new 

 Nuttin new, nuttin new, y'all not sayin nuttin new 

 Represent the legendary.. Fifth Dynasty crew 

 Roots crew, tell me what you could do 

 You lookin for me.. we're lookin for.. one-two, one-two 

 Ha hah HAH! Y'all ain't sayin nuttin new 

 Wha-wha-one-two, one-two
