I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
But trudgin', we are used to
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Took the crust away from the third eye lid
Standin' on the top like the temptations said
Questin' for the rhythms of the native tongue lay
The tribe has been on hold for much too long
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Sweetback's bad, not as bad a beat
The usual rhythm
On the avenues, streets and boulevard
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Rhythms of the tribe which is passed out right
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Tribalic motions dabble in the head
Rhythm is the key as we open up the door
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Night after night, day after day
I'm a Nubian y'all, look what we did
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
You have an eargasm as you start to consume
Now, you're kinda with it, wanna get the funk
On the corners, brothas bop their heads
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Rhythms can't lose, rhythms can't miss
Gets hectic, freak a bourgeois
Is it muscle bound and will it flex?
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Ma ma sa ah, ma ma coo sa
Things a b-boy has never seen before
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
You're a disc jock, then jock this
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Got the instinct to travel miles and miles
Will we be on point for the ninety deck?
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Gotta whole lot of room for piles and piles
Now, it's kinda open, longs to see the site
It'll be alright once we drop this beat
It's a stone groove baby
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
You see four fronts but now you see four backs, backs, backs, backs
You don't quest alone, quest with a crew
From the high-tops to the knotty dreads
Polyrhythmatic with a big fat boom
Backs, backs, backs
Don't fear the rhythm because it's strong
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Rhythms are obese, yeah, you gotta keep 'em fed
The ghetto beat with a ghetto poem
Jarobi, Phife, Ali Shaheed
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Continue, on the windy road but I'm luggin' a crazy big load
We quest around for the musical hard
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Devoted to the art of moving butts
Call me Koala, got what you need
We're four, once more, must make the tracks
If you feel uptight and you need to freak
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Not sellin' out, that's a negative
Lovin' hip hop, lovin' heritage
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
The rhythm's happenin' and it's movin' up
Yeah, it's from the heart 'cuz it's from the home
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
From the Zulu nation, toppin' all the junk
I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
Read what I read, can't be better said
