Song 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>
