Verses From The Abstract - A Tribe Called Quest || The Low End Theory (1991)
I must regroup my thoughts and kick the next ones for my people
Please don’t be deceived by ugly slice of evil
The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket
Wrap yourself up in it, if you love it, then you’ll thank it
Don’t move to rebuttal, wave your hand for action
The ladies of the ‘90’s want more than satisfaction
They want keys and Gs, and all those illy things
If you want to, I’ll show you, just what the Ab can bring
I keep a tight net with my brothas Ken and Kenny
If the question is of rhymes, then I’ll tell ya, I got plenty
The thing that men and women need to do is stick together
Progressions can’t be made if we’re separate forever
I hooked this funky beat with the loop and the feature
With the funky singin by Miss Vinia Mojica
So listen because the Quest is led through the underground
My people been up on Quest to long, no more will we be down
People tend to riff cuz they don’t know the mental
People tend to bug cuz their beats are hard but gentle
Afro kinda lurks through the body of this youngun’
Play like Bobby Byrd on your back and your comin to
The house of the jazz, of the funk, of the rhythm
All the goods are welcome, but if you’re a villain
I’ll just wait and debate, contemplate your arrival
If flexin is your motive, then you don’t like survival
The Abstract is speakin, the hard beats is reachin
The Black and Puerto Ricans
Cuz their butt naked, streakin through the ever murky streets
Of the urbanized areas
Blastin out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria..
