Another point: Tarik must be sick of people calling him under rated. It just shows how sadly dumb most of the reviewers and media vultures really are. He's not the most under rated, he is the most authentic.
He must be seriously sick of the stupid "thoughtless" shit people say to him. Keep living your life Tarik, let history judge you. Look, let he without sin .......

The Roots – Tip The Scale Lyrics 13 years ago
What I really appreciate about this lyric is the repetitive rhyme.

in:

I won't make the same mistakes from my last run in
You either done doing crime now or you done in
I got a brother on the run and one in
Wrote me a letter, he said when you comin'

transitions to out:

Shit man, I thought the goal's to stay out
Back against the wall, then shoot your way out
Gettin' money's a style that never plays out
'Til you end up boxin' your stash, money's paid out
The scales of justice ain't equally weighed out
Only two ways out, digging tunnels or digging graves out

Seriously who thinks of rhyming a word with the same word! 7 times in a row.
Brilliant!

Another perfectly constructed lyric Tarik.

Amazing writing here. What blows my mind is that there is not a single wasted word. Seriously Tarik, how many times did you write this before you got it honed to this?
