[00:11.06]Linden Boulevard represent, represent-sent
[00:13.17]Tribe Called Quest represent, represent-sent
[00:15.47]When the mic is in my hand, I'm never hesitant
[00:17.90]My favorite jam back in the day was "Eric B. for Presi—"
[00:20.38]
[00:20.82]Rude boy composer, step to me you're over

[01:10.99]When we coming through get tickets to see me
[01:13.54]We work for the paper so there'll never be a freebie
[01:16.06]Lyrics are abundant cause we got it by the mass
[01:18.52]Egos are all idle cause the music is the task
[01:21.04]Valenzuela on the pitch, curveball, catch it
[01:23.63]I think I got it locked, just smooth while I latch it

[02:01.33]MCs like to meddle, but here's my proposition
[02:03.92]I let my lyrics flow, and juxt your whole position
[02:06.43]I'm radical with this like the man this song is after
[02:09.04]Yo Tip settle down, what's the reason for the laughter?
[02:11.45]I really can't say, I guess I laugh to keep from crying
[02:13.96]So much going on, people killing, people dying
[02:16.41]But I won't dwell on that, I think I'll elevate my mental
[02:19.00]Thanks for these bars on the Biko instrumental
[02:21.57]Yo I'll take it back, I'm the Indian giver
[02:24.05]MCs take notes as I stand and deliver
[02:26.60]Percussion isn't less, Ds wear the vest
[02:29.10]Why they dodging bullets, you should be dodging Quest
[02:31.52]Don't get me wrong, violence is not our forte

[02:36.62]Tip educate 'em, my rhymes are strictly taboo
[02:39.13]Fill 'em with some fantasies and I'll look out like Tattoo

[02:41.90]Ok, I am recognizing that the voice inside my head
[02:44.10]Is urging me to be myself but never follow someone else
[02:46.42]Because opinions are like voices, we all have a different kind
[02:48.91]So just clean out all of your ears, these are my views and you will find
[02:51.48]That we revolutionize over the kick and the snare
[02:54.20]The ghetto vocalist is on a state-wide tear
[02:56.72]Soon to be the continent and then the freaking globe
[02:59.20]There's room for it all as we mingle at the mall
[03:01.78]We welcome competition cause it doesn't make one lazy or worn
[03:04.35]We gotta work hard, you know the damn card
[03:06.82]Try to be the phattest is the level that we strive
[03:09.33]Try to be the phattest also to stay alive
[03:11.44]
