Phife:I'm not your average MC with the Joe Schmoe flow |
| [00:35.44] |
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know |
| [00:37.69] |
Steppin on my critics, beatin on my foes |
| [00:40.29] |
The plan is to stay focused, only then I can go |
| [00:42.84] |
Straight from the heart, I represent hip hop |
| [00:45.39] |
I be three albums deep, but I don't wanna go pop |
| [00:47.85] |
Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top |
| [00:50.46] |
Too much candy is no good, so now I'm closin the shop |

Crushin competition like your tires on grapes |

When the Tribe is in the house, that means nobody is safe |

How can a reverend preach, when a rev can't define |

The music of our youth from 1979 |
| [01:08.18] |
We rap about what we see, meaning reality |
| [01:10.77] |
From people bustin caps and like Mandela bein free |
| [01:13.38] |
Not every MC be with the negativity |
| [01:15.88] |
We have a slew of rappers pushin positivity |
| [01:18.62] |
Hip hop will never die yo, it's all about the rap |
| [01:21.23] |
So Marion Barry smokin crack, let's preach about that |
| [01:23.86] |
The trash you talk won't matter, that old bogus chatter |
| [01:26.25] |
The more that you condemn us, it only makes us phatter |
| [01:28.75] |
When I talk, I know I'm talkin for you poppers all around |
| [01:31.35] |
You know you love the sound, we gets down |
| [01:33.91] |
We can get down,We can,we can get down(4X) |

Q-Tip:I'm the cherry on the top of yo ice cream |
| [01:56.71] |
I'm the wish you thought inside your dream |
| [01:59.47] |
Listen to the way we pulsate the jam |
| [02:02.01] |
I'm the nigga here with the mic in hand |
| [02:04.42] |
Styles that we present are just a few |
| [02:07.12] |
To do away with you and your hum drum crew |
| [02:09.60] |
This is '93 and the shit is real |
| [02:12.11] |
Black people unite and put down your steel |
| [02:14.61] |
Ladies make a forum on your sexual drive |
| [02:17.36] |
Devoted to your lover and make it thrive |
| [02:19.91] |
The riff was of F, I'm a hip hop body |
| [02:22.34] |
Release the energy like the force of a shotty |
| [02:24.89] |
Standin on the wall with my Polo on |
| [02:27.55] |
Talkin to the girl with the Liz Claiborne |
| [02:30.06] |
Keep the poetry in my black knapsack |
| [02:32.61] |
Got my Timbo horse and my Doublemint pack |
| [02:35.01] |
Hit the city streets to enhance my soul |
| [02:37.74] |
I can kick a rhyme over ill drum rolls |
| [02:40.40] |
With a kick, snare, kicks and high hat |
| [02:42.95] |
Skilled in the trade of that old boom bap |
| [02:45.56] |
I can do a trick with the opposite breed |
| [02:48.25] |
I used to down 40s and smoke grain weed |
| [02:50.60] |
Now, I'm doin shows with half loot down |
| [02:53.04] |
Now it's time for me to take ya uptown |
| [02:55.43] |
It's like that man, it's like that (yes!) (7X) |
| [03:14.35] |
It's like this.. |
