That be talkin' 'bout they this and that, money please
Miserable, is what your whole crew will be
We livin' this 'cuz it's deep in our bones
Tribe called Quest situation
A tribe called Quest with this hip hop Jones
On this plane of livin', knowledge be the key, black
Niggaz respect it as great
Cheeba smoke y'all, that's what I use to get high
Five, six and we ain't the tricks
We livin' this 'cuz it's deep in our bones
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Heavenly, is how the track tends to flow
If you're not original and you show no strategy
'Cuz it's survival of the fittest on the 192
Knowledge, when the mind accept facts
Nine, ten, 'cuz we make it blend
And when you do it ill
Yo, I gotta
You can't call yourself an MC if you know that you're soft
Understanding, gettin' a grip on what's revealed
'Cuz all it really is, is word play
Money, the companion of the first
Eleven, twelve, never ever goin' for self
Whether it be you or all up in your past and
Power controls your life
Cashin', you turned your people corrupt
Freestyle, a true MC trait
A Tribe called Quest with the hip hop Jones
Analyze, that's what I do to MC's
But when they really need to put that shit background
Illin' that's what you do when you're assin'
And if you don't know, tell 'em Diggy said so
Sex, either a man or a woman
Stress, that's what I always go through
Aggressive, is how the stage is approached
Check it out
Attitude, is how I get my point across
Ego, I'm on my own jock skill
'Cuz you can't see this MC representin' Linden
Some people tend to worship and we know this ain't right
'Cuz if I don't say I'm the best, tell me who the hell will
Seven, eight and we got it straight
Power, people really get caught up with this on different levels
Froggin', when niggaz try to play roles
Willie, that's what I kick to get this Millie on a lily
When I'm in a rut and I don't know why
It's six o'clock, girl, you gotta get your weight up
So sit and analyze the lyrical spray
Try, yo try again my friend
Now, I'm packin' dimes like chilli
I burn MC's like toast 'cuz I'm the host with the most
Is the agenda, but when lovers get down
When shit be real, can't give understanding back
