Excursions - The Low End Theory[00:00:00]

Written by：Q-Tip[00:00:01]

Back in the days when I was a teenager[00:00:10]

Before I had status and before I had a pager[00:00:13]

You could find the abstract listening to hip hop[00:00:15]

My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop[00:00:18]

I said well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles[00:00:20]

Way that bobby brown is just amping like michael[00:00:23]

It's all expected things are for the looking[00:00:25]

If you got the money quest is for the booking[00:00:28]

Come on everybody let's get with the fly mode[00:00:30]

Still got room on the truckload of black boom[00:00:33]

Listen to the rhymes then get a mental picture[00:00:35]

Of this black man and black woman fixture[00:00:38]

Why do I say that cos I gotta speak the truth man[00:00:40]

Doing what we feel for the music is the proof and[00:00:43]

Planted on the ground the act is so together[00:00:45]

Bona fide strong you need leverage to sever[00:00:48]

The unit yes the unit yes the unit called the jazz is[00:00:50]

Delivering each year an lp filled with street goods[00:00:53]

You can find it on your rack in your record store[00:00:55]

If you get the record say your thoughts are adored[00:00:58]

And appreciated cos we're ever so glad we made it[00:01:00]

We work hard so we gotta thank god[00:01:03]

Dishing out the plastic do the dance till you're spastic[00:01:05]

If you diss it gets drastic[00:01:08]

Listen to the rhyme cos it's time to make gravy[00:01:10]

If it moves your booty then shake shake it baby[00:01:13]

All the way to africa aka the motherland[00:01:15]

Stick out the left then I'll ask for the other hand[00:01:18]

That's the right hand black man[00:01:21]

Only if you are noted as my man[00:01:23]

If I get the credit then I think I deserve it[00:01:26]

If you fake moves don't fix your mouth to word it[00:01:28]

Get in the zone of positivity not negativity[00:01:31]

Cos we gotta strive for longevity[00:01:33]

If you botch up what's in that a**[00:01:35]

What a pair of nikes size ten and a half[00:01:38]

We gotta make moves[00:01:42]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:01:43]

We gotta make moves[00:01:47]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:01:48]

We gotta make moves[00:01:51]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:01:53]

We gotta make moves[00:01:57]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:01:58]

Time time is a ship on a merciless sea[00:02:02]

Drifting toward an average of nothingness[00:02:05]

Until it can be retarded for its own destiny[00:02:08]

Time is an inanimate object[00:02:10]

Praying and praying and praying with no justification for relief[00:02:13]

Time is dancing boogalooing away all memories of past[00:02:16]

We gotta be a winner all the time[00:02:21]

Can't fall prey to a hip hop crime[00:02:23]

With the d**e raps and d**e tracks we move blocks[00:02:25]

From the fly girlies to the hardest of the rocks[00:02:27]

Musically the quest is on the rise[00:02:30]

We on these excursions so you must realize[00:02:32]

That continually I pop my zulu sh*t[00:02:35]

If you don't like it get off the zulu tip[00:02:38]

So what can you do in the times which exist[00:02:40]

You can't fake moves on your brother or your sis[00:02:42]

But if your sis is a b**ch brother is a jerk[00:02:45]

Leave 'em both alone and continue with your work[00:02:48]

Whatever it may be in today's society[00:02:50]

Everything is fair least that's how it seems to me[00:02:52]

You must be honest and true to the next[00:02:55]

Don't be phony and expect one not to flex[00:02:57]

Especially if you rhyme you have to live by the pen[00:03:00]

Your man is your man then treat him like your friend[00:03:03]

All it is is the code of the streets[00:03:06]

So listen to the knowledge being dropped over beats[00:03:07]

Beats that are hard beats that are funky[00:03:10]

They could get you hooked like a crackhead junkie[00:03:12]

What you gotta do is know the tribe is in the sphere[00:03:15]

The abstract poet prominent like shakespeare[00:03:17]

Or edgar allan poe or langston hughes[00:03:20]

We gotta make moves[00:03:27]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:03:28]

We gotta make moves[00:03:32]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:03:33]

We gotta make moves[00:03:37]

Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on[00:03:38]

Time is running out on black power advocates in the day[00:03:41]

And white thigh supporters at night[00:03:43]

Every time you see them they're chasing some white woman[00:03:45]

With their tongue hanging out[00:03:47]

Time is running and passing passing and running[00:03:49]

Running and passing passing and running[00:03:51]
