A Tribe Called Quest - Mind Power lyrics
Q-tip:
Your new lesson is to realize the mission when you hear it
Mcinsee I got this in my spirit
I got verses like mahalia singin church hymns
So strap up because you skatin on ice that's wild thin
A weak foundation doesn't make a good home
That's why mine is built on chrome microphones
We bout to do it theoreticallyinsteadiblyto the medley
Come on
It's the complete kamaluniquefareedbreed
That'll keep you broke down like a horse 5 speed
So move buddya yo we got to get this money
In this land of dead and crummyain't a damn thing funny
A yoshout out to mobb deepthe extra p
Busta rhymesde lathe j beezso don't sleep
We got reality for the carriage
Stayin sincere to thisso I know we gonna manage
Give meliberty in mass amounts and swiss bank accounts
With the sustainerit'll be real
So me and my brothaswe can sit down and build
Like rampage with that last boy scout appeal
We got that silksatinmanhattan intelligence feel
That keeps everything on even keels
So all you slow brothas talkin yangya poo tang
Nowwe gonna show you how the real crew bang
Consequence:
A yoI bring it to you live kidqueens niggaz love static
Your rap's had itbraggin more numbers than mathematics
I get brains on progmatic from leavin wet dreams shattered
That's the same copy gettin in your mug shot
I stays hot like summertime on lbq and boo boo
The love shack is 192my joint's smooth
To watch them niggaz fall like linque
I keeps it brand new like school shoppin
It's on and poppin
The club peeps this nigga's steez like rayon
You get laid off while I'll be gamin ghetto girl like 8-off
The verdict's inI be the look of blendin
Give up your goods cuz it's the start of your endin
Q-tip:
(where ya at? ) we seein life for what it is
(where ya at? ) we get this money for these kids
(where ya at? ) we bout to build the foundation
(where ya at? )
Phife:
Nowall that glock totin' trash you talk will not prevail
It's staleyou'll either be dead or in jail
I keeps it realer than the local one mill
Denouncin tough guy wannabes that look smoother than silk
That's the sound of the man gettin yanked off the stage
Tryin to front like he mad paid
Suckin so badwe threw his mama off the train (insane)
Mcs are just givin it all away (ok)
Who said him know about the quest type sound?
Mess around and get your ass knocked down (clown)
I dedicate this to the posers that play hard
You wanna hear some rhymeswell come bring your bodyguard
So he can peep the worldwide willie that we display
Leavin all mcs in complete disarray
I beez a veteran mccrushin crews for years
You frontin hardwhen you softer than the berenstain bears
Yeahchumps be like "phifethat ain't fair"
Fuck outta heredo I look like I care
Come off my stagebefore I grab ya neck and handle ya
Wet ya like punanithen dry you like canada
Shaheed muhammad's on the gemini mixer
Peace to derrick colemanmad max and the sixers
I'm cappin hard cuz I got this rap shit sold
>from linden boulevard down to cascade road
You know my steezI treat hip hop like a sport
Holdin down fort up on martinique court like...
Q-tip:
(where ya at? ) we seein life for what it is
(where ya at? ) we get this money for these kids
(where ya at? ) we bout to build the foundation
(where ya at? ) we gonna start the zulu nation
(where ya at? ) come oncome on
(where ya at? ) we gonna put it all together
(where ya at? ) no matter what the hell the weather
(where ya at? )
Uhuhmind power (5x)
Uhuhkickin willie is goodall throughout your whole hood
But we gotta start with the spirit first y'all
Mind power
