Verses from the Abstract - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed/A Tribe Called Quest [00:00:00]
I had a dream about my man last night[00:00:00]
And my man came by the studio[00:00:02]
And his name is[00:00:07]
Busta Rhymes in effect[00:00:08]
Shaheed is in effect[00:00:11]
Phife Did-awg is in effect[00:00:14]
Check it out and give me my 'spect[00:00:16]
I'm moving yes I'm grooving cause my mouth is on the motor[00:00:19]
Use the Coast in the morning to avoid the funky odor[00:00:22]
Can't help being funky I'm the funky Abstract brother[00:00:25]
Funky in a sense but I play the undercover[00:00:28]
Once had a fetish fetish for some booty[00:00:30]
Now I'm getting funky in my rap and that's my duty[00:00:33]
Brothers tend to jock on the style in particular[00:00:36]
If you got the ego like some brothers then I'll get with ya[00:00:39]
But if I don't pursue then I just don't give a f**k[00:00:41]
My motto in the 90's is be happy making bucks[00:00:44]
Girls love the Jim cos it causes crazy friction[00:00:47]
When it goes up in and fluctuates the diction[00:00:50]
I still understand the oomph cause that's what I met her for[00:00:52]
I'm hooked on the swing so just call me the music whore[00:00:55]
Women love the voice brothers dig the lyrics[00:00:58]
Quest the people's choice we driving for the spirit[00:01:01]
If you can't hear it then get the wax utensil[00:01:03]
Write my rhymes straight up don't give it no fancy stencil[00:01:06]
The rhymes be getting sweet we stay away from tart[00:01:09]
A perfectionist at work perking up the art[00:01:11]
If you want to battle I suggest you check your clock[00:01:14]
Your demise is coming up and I want your man to watch[00:01:17]
Be the prime example or deeper still the sample[00:01:20]
Insignificance here I'll place you on the mantle[00:01:22]
Born up in Harlem reside down in Jamaica[00:01:25]
The girl I used to rock her moms was a Quaker[00:01:28]
Now what does that make her[00:01:31]
The evil money taker[00:01:32]
The crazy move faker I use that to break her[00:01:33]
Phife is in the house ooohh you know you got going on[00:01:36]
Uncle Mike is in the house this ain't a R&B song[00:01:39]
Bob Power is in the house you got it going on[00:01:42]
Tim Latham is in the house and on and on and on[00:01:44]
Wise Men is in the house[00:01:47]
The Brand Nubes is in the house[00:01:50]
The J Beez they in the house[00:01:52]
And De La they in the house[00:01:55]
I must regroup my thoughts and kick the next ones for my people[00:01:58]
Please don't be deceived by the ugly slice of evil[00:02:01]
The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket[00:02:03]
Wrap yourself up in it if you love it then you'll thank it[00:02:06]
Don't move to rebuttal wave your hand for action[00:02:09]
Some women in the 90's want more than satisfaction[00:02:11]
They want keys and Gs and all those illy things[00:02:14]
If you want to I'll show you just what the Ab can bring[00:02:17]
I keep a tight net with my brothers Ken and Kenny[00:02:20]
If the question is of rhymes then I'll tell ya I got plenty[00:02:22]
The thing that men and women need to do is stick together[00:02:25]
Progressions can't be made if we're separate forever[00:02:28]
I hooked this funky beat with the loop and the feature[00:02:31]
This the funky singing by Miss Vinia Mojica[00:02:34]
So listen because the Quest is led through the underground[00:02:36]
My people have been oppressed too long no more will we be down[00:02:39]
People tend to riff cause they don't know the mental[00:02:42]
People tend to bug cause the beats are hard but gentle[00:02:45]
Africano lurks through the body of this youngun'[00:02:47]
Play like Bobby Byrd on your back and you're coming to[00:02:50]
The house of the jazz of the funk of the rhythm[00:02:53]
All the goods are welcome but if you're a villain[00:02:55]
I'll just wait and debate contemplate your arrival[00:02:58]
If flexing is your motive then you don't like survival[00:03:01]
The Abstract is speaking the hard beats is reaching[00:03:04]
To Black and Puerto Ricans cause they're butt naked streaking[00:03:06]
Through the ever murky streets of the urbanized areas[00:03:09]
Blasting out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria[00:03:12]
Craig is in the house ooohh you know you got going on[00:03:15]
Pete Rock is in the house this ain't a R&B song[00:03:18]
CL is in the house you got it going on[00:03:20]
Ultramag is in the house and on and on and on[00:03:23]
Nice and Smooth is in the house[00:03:26]
Big Daddy Kane is in the house[00:03:28]
Beatnuts is in the house[00:03:31]
Special Ed is in the house[00:03:34]

And this one goes out to my man[00:03:39]
Thanks a lot Ron Carter on the bass[00:03:41]
Yes my man Ron Carter is on the bass[00:03:44]
And check it out going into the '91 decade[00:03:47]
Up in until the 2000 decade[00:03:51]

And goddamn it yes the Quest is on[00:03:55]
And we out[00:03:58]
