We've got the jazz (8x) | |
[Verse 1: Q-Tip] | |
Stern firm and young with a laid-back tongue | |
The aim is to succeed and achieve at 21 | |
Just like Ringling Brothers, I'll daze and astound | |
Captivate the mass, cause the prose is profound | |
Do it for the strong, we do it for the meek | |
Boom it in your boom it in your boom it in your Jeep | |
Or your Honda or your Beemer or your Legend or your Benz | |
The rave of the town to your foes and your friends | |
So push it, along, trails, we blaze | |
Don't deserve the gong, don't deserve the praise | |
The tranquility will make ya unball your fist | |
For we put hip-hop on a brand new twist | |
A brand new twist with the homie-alistic | |
So low-key that ya probably missed it | |
And yet it's so loud that it stands in the crowd | |
When the guy takes the beat, they bowed | |
So raise up squire, adjust your attire | |
We have no time to wallow in the mire | |
If you're on a foreign path, then let me do the lead | |
Join in the essence of the cool-out breed | |
Then cool out to the music cuz it makes ya feel serene | |
Like the birds and the bees and all those groovy things | |
Like getting stomach aches when ya gotta go to work | |
Or staring into space when ya feelin' berserk | |
I don't really mind if it's over your head | |
Cuz the job of resurrectors is to wake up the dead | |
So pay attention, it's not hard to decipher | |
And after the horns, you can check out the Phifer | |
[Chorus] | |
[Verse Two: Phife] | |
Competition, dem Phifer come sideway | |
But competition, dey mus' me come straightway | |
Competition, dem Phifer come sideway | |
But competition, dey mus' me come straightway | |
How's about that, it seems like it's my turn again | |
All through the years my mike has been my best friend | |
I know some brothers wonder, can Phifer really kick it? | |
Some even wanna dis me, but why sweat it? | |
I'm all into my music cuz it's how I make papes | |
Tryin' to make hits, like Kid Capri mix tapes | |
Me sweat another? I do my own thing | |
Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing | |
I grew up as a Christian so to Jah I give thanks | |
Collect my banks, listen to Shabba Ranks | |
I sing, and chat, I do all of that | |
It's 1991 and I refuse to come wack | |
I take off my hat to other crews that intend to rock | |
But the Low End Theory's here, it's time to wreck shop | |
I got Tip and Shah, so whom shall I fear | |
Stop look and listen, but please don't stare | |
So jet to the store, and buy the LP | |
On Jive/RCA, cassettes and CD's | |
Produced and arranged by the four-man crew | |
And oh shit, Skeff Anslem, he gets props too | |
Make sure you have a system with some phat house speakers | |
So the new shit can rock, from Mars to Massapequot | |
Cuz where I come from quality is job one | |
And everybody up on Linden know we get the job done | |
So peace to that crew, and peace to this crew | |
Bring on the tour, we'll see you at a theatre nearest you | |
[Verse Three: Q-Tip] | |
Hey yo but wait, back it up, huh, easy back it up | |
Please let the Abstract embellish on the cut | |
Back and forth just like a Cameo song | |
If you dig this joint then please come dance along | |
To the music cuz it's done just for the rhyme | |
Now I gotta scat and get mine, underlined | |
The jazz, the what? The jazz to move that ass | |
Cuz the Tribe originates that feelin' of pizzazz | |
It's the universal sound, best to brothers on the ground | |
And the ones six below, ya didn't have to go | |
Some say that I'm a sinner cuz I once had an orgy | |
And sometimes for breakfast I eat grits and porgies | |
If this is a stinker, then call me a stink, I ask | |
"What? What? What?" - check it out | |
All my peoples in Queens ya don't stop | |
Now all my peoples in Brooklyn ya don't stop | |
And all my peoples uptown ya don't stop | |
That includes the Bronx an' Harlem ya don't stop | |
Now to that girl Ramelle ya don't stop | |
I say because Ladies First ya don't stop | |
And to the JB's, ya don't stop | |
And De La Soul, ya don't stop | |
To my Brand Nubians ya don't stop | |
And to my Leaders of the New ya don't stop | |
To my man Large Professor ya don't stop | |
Pete Rock for the beat ya don't stop | |
Everybody in the place ya don't stop | |
Ya keep it on, to the rhythm, ya don't stop | |
And last but not least on the sure shot | |
It's the Zulu nation |
