Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah (x4)
You started out as friends, said you're the kind of man that, takes every girl for a fool.
when the boys go "swish" they always score
but can they do it with a cold crack at their door?
Said you, you, you are fantastic and so romantic
(say what?)
romantic and so fantastic
(7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
We came here to rock the microphone.
We came here to rock the microphone.
while dave breaks the record down to the bone.
while dave breaks the record down to the bone.

Who's gonna rock (x3)
You started out as friends, said you're the kind of man that, takes every girl for a fool.

Lets shoot the shack and do the do

So, under the cold harsh light of audio analysis it's clear that none of the singing/rapping is from Ninja or anyone from The Go! Team. The lyrics come from eight separate clips that repeat at various points. The separate vocal clips are:
1) Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
2) Good starting out, (they) say your the kind of man, takes every girl for a fool
3) When the balls go swish they always score but can they do it with the Cold Crush at they door?
4) They shoot, shoot, shoot. Fantastic is the romantic. Say what? Romantic is the fantastic.
5) We came here to rock the microphone
6) Our aim was to break you down to the bone
7) Cuz it's gonna rock
8) OK home boys whatcha gonna do? You gotta shoot the shot and do the do.
"when the balls go "swish" they always score
but can they do it with the cold crush at their door?"
It's from the movie Wild Style. Same as the "fantastic is the romantic."
Which is, im guessing, also where The Roots got that from.
Youtube it, Wild Style Basketball scene.
and "our aim is to break you down to the bone"
but maybe theres different versions of the song cuz i know for huddle formation, it seems taht the live version of their song and the one recorded differ. so i could just be the same thing here. maybe

and the shot is fantastic
the fantastic is the romantic
its about 2:55 into the song and the intonation is similar so i definitely think they're making reference to that..
so its probably
"the fantastic is the romantic" and then flipped
"the romantic is the fantastic"
anyway thats my 2 cents.
