time, only half the riff is played. The other half is replaced by
Melody Riff B.
Great song.

Intro:
Melody Riff - A
C'mon.. and yes y'all
You are now in tune to the sounds..
of the legendary.. foundation
Chorus:
Melody Riff - B
Yeah, you go
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin' and
set it in motion, it's the next movement
You listeners, stop what you're doin and
set it in motion, it's the next movement
Melody Riff - A
Word up, we got the Hot-hot music, The Hot Music
The Hot-hot music, the Hot music
The Hot-hot music, the Hot music
The Hot-hot music, the Hot music
Verse 1:
Melody Riff - A
Yo, one, two, one-two one-two
That's how we usually start, once again it's the Thought
The Dalai Lama of the mic, the Prime Minister Thought
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/roots/93548.html ]
Melody Riff - B
This directed to whoever in listening range
Yo the whole state of things in the world 'bout to change
Black rain fallin' from the sky look strange
The ghetto is red hot, we steppin' on flames
Melody Riff - A
Yo, it's inflation on the price for fame
and it was all the same, but then the antidote came
The Black Thought, ill syllablist, out the Fifth
This heavyweight rap s*** I'm about to lift
Like, a phyllum lift up it's seed to sunlight
I plug in the mic, draw like a gunfight
I never use a cordless, or stand applaudless
Melody Riff - B
Sippin' cholorophyll out of ill silver goblets
I'm like a faucet, monopoly's the object
There ain't no way to cut this tap, you got to get wet
Your head is throbbin' and I ain't said s*** yet
The Roots crew, the next movement, c'mon!
[Chorus]
Verse 2:
Melody Riff - A
Word up, the formation of words to fit
That's what I usually disturb you with
A lot of rappers never heard of this, or know half the time it is
Melody Riff - B
You doubt the Illa-Fifth, what could you accomplish?
Whether they skywriting your name, or you anonymous
You be speechless, with stinging sinuses
The Roots royal highnesses through your monitors
Melody Riff - A
I tilt my crown, then blow down a diamond kiss
You need to buy a CD and stop rewindin' this
I'm the finalist, shinin' like a rugged amethyst
And at your music conference, I'm the panelist
Listen close to my poetry, I examine this
like an analyst, to see if you can handle this (Check it out)
You, got the groove, emcees
Melody Riff - B
freeze, stand still, nobody move
unless you dealin' with The Next Movement
The P-Phi-D we be the mon-u-ment
I live my life nice, but I'm not too bent
Melody Riff - A
You theatrical as a Broadway play, this ain't Rent
One hundred percent, straight out the basement
Spreading this across a planet on some next s***
How many people feelin' this love music? C'mon
[Chorus]
(repeat "The Hot-hot music, the Hot music" seven times
instead of three)
Outro:
Melody Riff - B
