Type : (lyric)

Q-tip:
One, two, what�cha wanna do
Three, four, cuz we�re gonna give you more
Five, six, and we ain�t the tricks
Seven, eight, and we got it straight
Nine, ten, cuz we make it blend
Eleven, twelve, never ever goin for self
Tribe called quest situation

Q-tip:
Power. people really get caught with this on different levels
Power controls your life
Money. the companion of the first. some people tend to worship
And we know this ain�t right.

Phife:
Attitude(attitude) is how I get my point across.
You can�t call yourself an mc if you know that you�re soft.
Agressive...is how the stage is approached. I burn mcs like toast
Cuz I�m the host with the most.

Consequence:
Illin(illin) is what you do when you�re assin.
Whether it be you or all up in your past and...
Cashin...done turned your people corrupt
It�s six o�clock, girl, you gotta get your weight up

Q-tip:
Sex(sex). either a man or a woman.
This agenda, but when lovers get down
Froggin. when niggaz try to play roles
But when they really need to put that shit background

Phife:
Miserable(miserable) is what your whole crew will be
If you�re not original and you show no strategy
Heavenly...is how the track tends to flow
And if you don�t know, tell em diggy said so

Q-tip:
We livin this cuz it�s deep in our bones
A tribe called quest with this hip hop jones
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)(word)

Consequence:
Willie. that�s what I kick to get this millie on a lilly
Now, I�m packin dimes like chilli
Stress(stress). that�s what I always go through
Cuz it�s survival of the fittest on the 192

Q-tip:
Knowledge. when the mind accept facts
On this plane of livin, knowledge be the key, black
Understanding. gettin a grip on what�s revealed
When shit be real, can�t give understanding back

Phife:
Analyze. that�s what I do to mcs
That be talkin bout they this and that, money please
Ego. I�m on my own jock skill
Cuz if I don�t say I�m the best, tell me who the hell will

Consequence:
Cheeba smoke y�all. that�s what I use to get high
When I�m in a rut and I don�t know why
Try. yo try again my friend
Cuz you can�t see this mc representin linden

Q-tip:
Freestyle(freestyle). a true mc trait
And when you do it ill, niggaz respect it as great
Yo, I gotta...(laughing)

Phife:
We livin this cuz it�s deep in our bones
A tribe called quest with the hip hop jones
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)
