Verse one:q tip[00:00:00]
Produced and arranged by:the four man crew[00:00:11]
Stern firm and young with a laid back tongue [00:00:22]
The aim is to succeed and achieve at 21 [00:00:24]
Just like ringling brothers I'll daze and astound [00:00:26]
Captivate the mass cause the prose is profound [00:00:29]
Do it for the strong we do it for the meek [00:00:31]
Boom it in your boom it in your boom it in your jeep [00:00:33]
Or your honda or your beemer or your legend or your benz [00:00:35]
The rave of the town to your foes and your friends [00:00:37]
So push it along trails we blaze [00:00:39]
Don't deserve the gong don't deserve the praise [00:00:40]
The tranquility will make ya unball your fist [00:00:42]
For we put hip hop on a brand new twist [00:00:44]
A brand new twist with the homie alistic [00:00:46]
So low key that ya probably missed it [00:00:47]
And yet it's so loud that it stands in the crowd [00:00:49]
When the guy takes the beat they bowed [00:00:50]
So raise up squire address your attire [00:00:52]
We have no time to wallow in the mire [00:00:53]
If you're on a foreign path then let me do the lead [00:00:55]
Join in the essence of the cool out breed [00:00:57]
Then cool out to the music cuz it makes ya feel serene [00:01:00]
Like the birds and the bees and all those groovy things [00:01:01]
Like getting stomach aches when ya gotta go to work [00:01:04]
Or staring into space when you're feeling berserk [00:01:05]
I don't really mind if it's over your head [00:01:08]
Cuz the job of resurrectors is to wake up the dead [00:01:13]
So pay attention it's not hard to decipher [00:01:16]
And after the horns you can check out the phifer [00:01:18]
Verse two:phife dawg [00:01:20]
Competition dem phifer come sideway [00:01:21]
But competition dey mus' me come straightway [00:01:22]
Competition dem phifer come sideway [00:01:25]
But competition dey mus' come straightway [00:01:27]
Hows about that it seems like it's my turn again [00:01:31]
All through the years my mike has been my best friend [00:01:34]
I know some brothers wonder can phifer really kick it [00:01:38]
Some even wanna dis me but why sweat it [00:01:45]
I'm all into my music cuz it's how I make papes [00:01:47]
Tryin' to make hits like kid capri makes tapes [00:01:50]
Me sweat another I do my own thing [00:01:51]
Strictly hardcore tracks not a new jack swing [00:01:53]
I grew up as a christian so to jah I give thanks [00:01:55]
Collect my banks listen to shabba ranks [00:01:57]
I sing and chat I do all of that [00:02:00]
It's 1991 and I refuse to come wack [00:02:01]
I take off my hat to other crews that intend to rock [00:02:03]
But the low end theory's here it's time to wreck shop [00:02:06]
I got tip and shah so whom shall I fear [00:02:07]
Stop look and listen but please don't stare [00:02:09]
So jet to the store and buy the lp [00:02:10]
And oh s**t skiff anselm he gets props too [00:02:12]
Make sure you have a system with some phat house speakers [00:02:13]
So the new s**t can rock from mars to massapequa [00:02:15]
Cuz where I come from quality is job one [00:02:17]
And everybody up on linden know we get the job done [00:02:21]
So peace to that crew and peace to this crew [00:02:23]
Bring on the tour we'll see you at a theatre nearest you [00:02:26]
Verse three:q tip [00:02:29]
Hey yo but wait back it up hup easy back it up [00:02:30]
Please let the abstract embellish on the cut [00:02:32]
Back and forth just like a cameo song [00:02:34]
If you dig this joint then please come dance along [00:02:35]
To the music cuz it's done just for the rhyme [00:02:37]
Now I gotta scat and get mine underline [00:02:38]
The jazz the what the jazz can move that a*s [00:02:41]
Cuz the tribe originates that feelin' of pizzazz [00:02:42]
It's the universal sound best to brothers underground [00:02:45]
In the one six below ya didn't have to go [00:02:48]
Some say that I'm a sinner cuz I once had an orgy [00:02:51]
And sometimes for breakfast I eat grits and porgies [00:02:55]
If this is a stinker then call me a stink I ask [00:02:59]
What what what now check it out [00:03:06]
