rate meSong by A Tribe Called Quest<br /><br>
[Verse One: Q-Tip]<br>
<br>
Yup yup yup<br>
To the North to the South to the East to the West<br>
I don't discriminate boy I bring it to your chest<br>
If you oppose, then your soul will decompose<br>
Strive to get money and I'm not no hoe<br>
Fresher than the air that you're breathing through your nose<br>
Fuller than the kicks that you're puttin on your toes<br>
You can ask Bo but yo that nigga don't know<br>
About the dominant factor the accurate rapper<br>
Here's the next chapter, page ninety-five<br>
Niggaz so hard it's a wonder they alive<br>
But yo we still survive through the danger that lurks<br>
My eyes remain wide while you ask like Urk<br>
and yo my Family Matters, so all you mad hatters<br>
Put your thinking caps on and motherfuckin brainstorm<br>
Cause I got the plan that wins and can't lose<br>
Your man knows who's nice say Tip he'll say "True"<br>
A lot of these jokers out here is blase<br>
I'll be rockin mikes until a horse says hey<br>
Some are preoccupied with glamour and glitz<br>
Actin all boogee and making big movies<br>
But I'll be in the cut call me Incognito<br>
Busy makin joints that will bump for my people<br>
You're listening to a man who was something for nothing<br>
Stay in me forever head, never be frontin<br>
<br>
[Chorus: repeat 2X]<br>
<br>
Once in a while we have fun in the mix (never ever)<br>
In to good living, but some be into glitz (true dat)<br>
Everybody knew, all the fellas and the chicks (trigga E)<br>
Gotta wear a shoe that fits<br>
...to all my peoples<br>
<br>
[Verse Two:]<br>
<br>
C'mon word, check it out now (you out there?)<br>
Uh, uh, check it out now (you out there?)<br>
What? Uh, check it out now (louder! louder!)<br>
(louder! louder!) Uh, check it out, yo<br>
<br>
Peace to the girl named Hurricane G<br>
Peace to my girl named Dawn Paris<br>
Peace to the Organzied Kon-fus-ion<br>
Peace to all my shorties that be dying too young<br>
Peace to both coasts and the land in between<br>
Peace to your man if you're doing your thing<br>
Peace to my peoples who was incarcerated<br>
Asalaam alaikum means peace, don't debate it<br>
Devouring, and towering over fools<br>
Your mic is broke and my shit's cool<br>
The black man with the understandin of<br>
The three wise men and the theories of Zen<br>
Yo I get inside the crevice like a dentist<br>
Disrupt, the block, like Dennis, the Menace<br>
Shaheed is on the needle, the shit it won't weeble<br>
or wobble, your rhymes is mixed up like Boggle<br>
Bingo! That was the damn dog's name<br>
But yo I know another one with much more fame<br>
The Phife Dawg, and that's my word to the cipher<br>
About to bring it to your chest and cause strife check it out<br>
You're doubling back, to your rhyming pad<br>
What I represent is MC's gone mad<br>
In a perfect world there's imperfect acts<br>
We've come like a God to redirect alla that<br>
So people with a gift can just flaunt and get money<br>
So much, we in the bank that the shit ain't funny<br>
Money is invested in real estate and stocks<br>
But not inside the glamour cuz all of that stops<br>
<br>
[Outro: Consequence]<br>
<br>
Yo dis the Cons to the Quence<br>
up in ya like a stiff one, knowhatImean?<br>
It's nine-five, you got to live it or rip it<br>
So if you step on the streets keep it movin, knowhatImean?<br>
<br>
[Chorus]<br>
<br>
