[Hook: ?uestlove (8x)]
Tip is very smooth
Phife is very hype!
[Alchemist]
Gettin' money
The money is the main incentive
Forever I'll remain inventive
They cut me out the womb
I hit the pavement and jetted straight out the f*****' room
You must be sniffing unleaded or sniffin' on the fumes
I grind the block till it's shredded, wrapped in a mummy's tomb
Top of the schnitzel is breaded
I'm a big boy, don't give me no snacks
Animal head on the table, no plate, fresh off the axe
Blood dribblin' and drippin', my medicine is kryptonite for Clark Kent
That's why I'm still scribblin' and scripping
Missle work off the same mound of dirt you're pitchin'
Cut from a different type of thread when I'm stitchin'
Off the cable, human roach, I'm a b**, hold up the table
Money talks like spaghetti sauce with the basil
Finagle flavor like chives on a potato
See me swerving in that black Suburban in ?
[Evidence]
(Tip is very smooth)
Ev is going off again
Still I'm so personal in third person offerings
Look Ma, verse is what I caught again
Said it to the mic and poof! Appeared an audience
(Phife is very hype!)
God d***, how did I get here?
How do I mesh with the legends from the best years
I mean those are real steps I gotta replay
I mean those are real vets without a VA
The southern C-A, the land of all deception
The plan is get a cannon and shoot to show who reps it
Flow connected, it wasn't me but was arrested
Tryin' to catch a breath, deadly as asbestos
Sick as f***, spit that s*** that went on record
They couldn't test it, as soon as they a****sed it
The ink hit the page and then came the diagnosis
Then came the reign, then the violence and the roses
I shoot with the silence on a toaster
I swear to drunk I'm not God but getting closer
If the odds ain't our favor they're approaching
Then we even out then leaving out the ocean
To hit the world and rep my C-A s***
Understand I did that s*** before I seen a chip
This the Tribe Called Quest that didn't split
Banging the drums and stealing your kick
My brother Step
