The Roots
Popcorn Revisited
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Yo, I wrote this, basement, never, never tunnel type portion
Just to accompany some audio distortion
Bust the popcorn, droppin' off my cassette and
Yo, Crumbs, um, how you feel? I hope it's blessed, man
Dig The Square Roots be the setters of examples
Findin' mad rhythm in the static of your samples
Quick to make you move to my groove as I soothe
The ear of the listener on the musical
Prisoner G, now you're free, you can be all you wanna be
Go where you wanna go and see all you wanna see
Because, yo, your ambitions, I won't neglect
And to them brothers who ain't here, 'nough respect
So BROther ?uest, how you livin'? What you givin', black?
To me, the brother with the linens and the applejack
Busy 'til the break of dawn
The first verse is born, I pass the popcorn
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Say what?
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Secondly, I speak for the ?uest from the SQT (Square Roots)
And I'm Black Thought, therefore, you know it's funky
The rhythms he recycles sometimes prehistoric
The mic for the popcorn's like metaphoric (It's metaphoric, baby)
So many different factors in a ?uestion style
'Cause he's the father and he's giving more than one child
The abstract soloist, drummin' from the heart
All the way from Philly in the West part
Relax your mind and let your body be at rest
Flow in slow mo' and let the Brother manifest
Now the second verse has been born
I'm Black Thought and I pass the popcorn

[Chorus: Black Thought]
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Say what?
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Come on
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
[Verse 3: Black Thought]
From the Southern section of Philly my affection
Affiliates me with kids, from the store to pastry
The Foreign Object, direct from the lip with the skit
That be rugged, it was the drumsticks and the buckets
Back in the days, now the Rubber Band plays to accompany
?uestion upon the drums and displays mad soul
Soul be the source of the blam Roots fam
As we grow and expand like the afro
With menacing music, seriously, I'm sinister
I shout, move about, turn it out like a minister
Diggin' the flipside when I slide, I gets biz with
Mad melanin, chocolate, like a chip that's black, man
From the dark room with the mad raps homegrown
Knots and knaps upon the dome from thinkin'
I'm sinkin in the sound 'cause I gets and got down
Lettin' Black thoughts out of lockdown, buckshot
Lick it to the tick of my measure's on the Richter
Grits getter, so grab your sister
I get wreck, so check my respect from the wreck
That I've gotten, bitin' this'll make your fronts turn rotten
The original rock chewer, from a duo
Whatever called poor folkers or Crumbs, and his mouth broke
Kids wanna laugh, so I blast on your **** to wait, see
Chase me and see if you catch the circular knot
Style buck wild, the acoustic boom
Square Root of Black Thought broadcast with the popcorn
It's like that, y'all
The popcorn, popcorn, as I pass y'all
I go
[Chorus: Black Thought]
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Come on
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Pass the what? Pass the popcorn
Come on

[Outro: Black Thought]
Pass the what? The pop, the corn
From the what? The pop, the corn, piggy-pass it
Pass the what? The pop, the corn
What? Pass the pop, the corn, pass it
Pass the what? The pop, the corn
Pass the what? The pop, the corn
Pass the what? The pop, the corn
Pass the what? Popcorn
Pass, come on, pass the popcorn
