Noelle Scaggs - Rosetta Stone Groove (Universal Language) lyrics

[Intro - adlibs by Rakaa] (Percussion - I feel that, Let's move... Bongos -- Let's go -- see Bobo's ready! Rhettmatic -- you ready! Ladies -- Let's move!) [Refrain - Rakaa & Noelle Scaggs, alternating] Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki [Hook - Rakaa & Noelle] Better shoot me down to fly, better bring me down to rise Better cut me down to climb, but they want to see eye to eye [Verse - Rakaa] Great nation, shift to plantation Music in the warrior's heart, kept safe in the dark Middle pa**age, not Noah's ark But the church did get the soul and the spark Blues was the flip-side, floating with sharks Then came jazz ripped open the arts Same blues morphed into rock Invaded pop - then the Bronx created hip-hop [Ad-libs] (DJ...Rhettmatic...Let's go! Bobo, break it down like this! Yeah, Universal Language Been all over the world...matter a fact it feel like: [Rakaa & Noelle] Johannesburg! (That's what it feel like!) Cuba! (That's what it feel like!) P.R.! (That's what it feel like!) D.R.! (That's what it feel like!) Kingston! (That's what it feel like!) New Orleans! (That's what it feel like!) Haiti! (That's what it feel like!) ???? (That's what it feel like!) [Hook] [Outro] Oooh...(Miss Noelle Scaggs) Bobo meets Rhettmatic...Rakaa [Final Refrain] Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
