A Tribe Called Quest - Give Me lyrics

Doin' our thing in Queens

We had dreams about bein' emcees

And there was no concern about so and so

And these record companies

But now we all are grown

And the spots is gettin' blown

Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD

Nah, we ain't none of them, B

Give me

So give me

Nore, Phife Dawg and Abstract

Give me

To everyone in the world

Nore, Phife Dawg and Abstract

[Noreaga]

Yo when I rap, all my niggas love Abstract

Yo, from Far Rock to Flushing, concussion

Every time a nigga rhyme it's like we get our bus' on

I used to ride a dollar van and really get my bus on

Yo, from South Don to El Segundo

All my niggas gettin' high yo, and still livin' on the run though

Get alot a dough so now we have a lot of fun though

Q-U, two E's, N-S

All we really care about is money, cheba and sex

what what what

[Q-Tip]

niggas get faded, never outdated

Give it to the world, 'cause for long they waited

Shorties online to cop the new CD

So hip-hop'll bust nut in graffiti

We could two-piece it or we could just seize it

Shorty, you're my shit, 'cause my style wild decent

What's it gonna be, the party or the precent?

Queens cats rock, keep it rugged and recent

my nigga Nore thug it out (thug it out, no doubt)

Phife Dawg buggin' out (buggin' out, no doubt)

The Love Movement no doubt (Love Movement, no doubt)

Ali Shaheed get a shout (shout it out, no doubt)

[Noreaga]

Yo better things, hold on, take a time out

Huddle up, yo, Queens niggas won't fuck it up

Keep my southside niggas just palyin' the cut

While my Queensbridge people stay roughin' you up

East Elmhurst, Carona, Iatola

Keep the caller ID on the Motorola

Gotta keep the po-po on the payola

Queens niggas shut it down, now it's all over

[Phife]

One nine two, the Bully fram Lou

Merrick Van Wig holler Shaft got brew

Head up Jamacia Ave, cop a tape by DJ Clue

Move to the acre, sippin' on a guinney booze

Scoopin' ladies up in babies makes my day complete

Freestylin' over beats for my peoples in the street

This is a place where stars are born

Linden to Lawton, we keep it hot like porn

[Chorus
