Vibes and Stuff - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed/Malik Taylor/A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:01]
Let me flaunt the style I think that the time's near[00:00:02]
That we drop Scuds there won't be no duds here[00:00:05]
Rappers play the dumb kinda on the space tip[00:00:07]
But when they hear the jams they be on the dilsnick[00:00:10]
Now I'm not for the rock I know the territory[00:00:13]
Go ahead and try that's a different story[00:00:15]
Similar to Grimm I could tell a better one[00:00:18]
All about a kid who couldn't rap and didn't run[00:00:20]
Stands on the side when the mic is getting dumb[00:00:23]
Resorts to bagging Billy asking could he have some[00:00:26]
No never ever go back and try again man[00:00:28]
If you come back I'll be the first to shake your hand[00:00:31]
Competition's good it brings out the vital parts[00:00:33]
The Abstract Poetic majors in recital arts[00:00:36]
Do it for the kids the elders and the rap peers[00:00:39]
We know the job is done when we hear a lot of cheers[00:00:41]
Gotta feel the vibes real from my creation[00:00:44]
If the hands clap I'm filled with elation[00:00:46]
Here I am ghetto full with a lot of steam[00:00:49]
Think I gotta I think I gotta I think I gotta scream[00:00:52]
Cause that's how good it feels child[00:00:55]
Let your hair down so we can get buckwild[00:00:57]
Do your ill dance don't think about the next man[00:00:59]
We must have unity and think of the bigger plan[00:01:02]
Division we will fall we must stick together see[00:01:05]
I'd like to take this time to say what's up to Kool G[00:01:07]
The name is Q-Tip the Midnight Marauder[00:01:10]
Giving nuff respects to Afrika Bambaataa[00:01:12]
As a man in the world I must do my job[00:01:15]
Take care of Mama Duke I won't resort to rob[00:01:17]
Bob you'll get your dough Mase is my witness[00:01:20]
Obsessed with the rap for it's the mental fitness[00:01:23]
Like shooting Cee-lo and always hitting head cracks[00:01:25]
The industry is luck winning with the fake raps[00:01:28]
Peace to the crews who pump the real hip hop[00:01:31]
Not selling out from hardrock to disc jock[00:01:33]
I don't know what to say but here I go freak it[00:01:36]
If the papes come then you know I'll seek it[00:01:38]
I'm just a short brother dark skin face[00:01:41]
Weigh a buck-fifty 36 waist[00:01:43]
Hair is crazy curly flip like Mr. Furley[00:01:46]
To this day I still believe that no MC can serve me[00:01:49]
Brothers try to front but everybody know[00:01:51]
I get more props than the Arsenio Hall Show[00:01:54]
Party animal I was but now I chill at home[00:01:56]
All I do is write rhymes eat drink shit and bone[00:01:59]
Found my thrill in Amityville I'm always in the Island[00:02:01]
Fudge and Lucky know the time they know who keeps 'em smiling[00:02:04]
Go out on my own something that I gotta do[00:02:07]
Do what the hell I want and have no one to listen to[00:02:10]
I'm prompt with my business and I do things on the double[00:02:12]
Yo I'm out like Buster Douglas I say peace to MC Trouble[00:02:15]
Rest in peace[00:02:17]
Word Up rest in Peace and you know what else[00:02:18]
We got we got we got the vibes[00:02:21]
All the people in Long Island we got the vibes[00:02:23]
Brooklyn and Queens we got the vibes[00:02:26]
Uptown and Now Rule we got the vibes[00:02:29]

Over in Europe you know what we got the vibes[00:02:44]
And we gotta keep it alive it goes um[00:02:46]
Of rap I'm a fan I've seen a whole lot of slums[00:02:49]
Good with the girls I get a whole lot of 'em[00:02:51]
From fat to skinny Freda to Winnie[00:02:54]
Emma to Cindy Constance to Wendy[00:02:57]
Cause I be real friendly never on the snotty side[00:02:59]
I don't brag to brothers about the little papes I got[00:03:02]
My vocal styles can vary the sight is never scary[00:03:04]
It's only legendary my father well prepared me[00:03:07]
My job ain't temporary I'm here for the long shot[00:03:09]
Better yet the long term I don't have a perm[00:03:12]
In a way I do call 'em the perma-naps[00:03:15]
I'm crazy slap-happy and I'm scrappy and I'm nappy[00:03:17]
When I get the mic in my hand with the crowd in the stands[00:03:20]
It's as good as grand like that[00:03:24]
Yo I wanna say peace and dedicate this joint to MC Trouble[00:03:25]
And to uh Trouble T Roy[00:03:30]
And to um Scott La Rock[00:03:32]
And to um Cowboy you know what I'm saying[00:03:33]

This is a special special special special dedication[00:03:39]
And also to my Pops and also to Vinia's Moms you know what I'm saying[00:03:43]
