[00:03.99][Intro: Prince Paul]
[00:04.30]It's a new decade
[00:07.11]The Native Tongues are about to proceed with the usual lingo
[00:12.74]The usual rhythm
[00:18.98][Verse 1: Q-Tip]
[00:18.98]Devoted to, the art of moving butts
[00:20.86]The rhythm's happening, and it's moving up
[00:23.05]The Tribe has been on hold for much too long
[00:25.55]Don't fear the rhythm because it's strong
[00:27.74]On the corners, brothers bop their heads
[00:29.92]From the high-tops to the natty dreads
[00:32.42]I'm a nubian y'all, look what we did
[00:34.61]Took the crust away from the third eyelid
[00:37.11]Now it's kinda open, longs to see the sight
[00:39.61]Rhythms of the Tribe which is passed outright
[00:41.80]Night after night, day after day
[00:43.99]Questing for the rhythms of the Native Tongue way
[00:46.49]Rhythm is the key as we open up the door
[00:48.67]Things a B-boy has never seen before
[00:51.17]Poly-rhythm addict with a big fat boom
[00:53.36]You have an eargasm as you start to consume
[00:55.55]The ghetto beat with a ghetto poem
[00:57.73]Yeah, it's from the heart, cos it's from the home
[01:00.24]Jarobi, Phife, Ali Shaheed
[01:02.42]Call me Koala, got what you need
[01:04.61]You're a disc jock, then jock this
[01:07.11]Rhythms can't lose, rhythms can't miss
[01:09.30]If you feel uptight and you need to freak
[01:11.49]It'll be alright once we drop this beat
[01:13.99][Hook]
[01:33.05]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:35.24]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:37.11]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:39.61]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:41.80]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:43.98]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:46.49]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:48.67]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[01:50.86][Verse 2: Q-Tip]
[01:51.17]Ma Massa-ya, Ma Makossa
[01:53.05]Gets hectic, freak a bourgeois
[01:55.55]We quest around for the musical heart
[01:57.74]On avenues, streets and boulevards
[02:00.24]Not selling out, that's a negative
[02:02.42]Loving Hip Hop, loving heritage
[02:04.61]Got the instinct to travel miles and miles
[02:06.80]Gotta whole lot of rhythm, piles and piles
[02:09.30]Now you're kinda with it, wanna get the funk
[02:11.80]From the Zulu Nation, topping all the junk
[02:13.99]Standing on the top like the Temptations said
[02:16.17]Rhythms are obese, yeah, you gotta keep 'em fed
[02:18.67]Read what I read, can't be better said
[02:20.86]Tribe'll lick motions dabble in the head
[02:23.36]Sweetback's bad, not as bad as a beat
[02:25.55]It's a (stone groove baby)
[02:28.05]Continue, on the windy road
[02:30.24]But, I'm lugging, a crazy big load
[02:32.42]Will we be on point for the ninety dec
[02:34.61]Is it muscle bound and will it flex?
[02:37.11]But trudging, we are used to
[02:39.30]You don't Quest alone, Quest with a crew
[02:41.49]We're four, once more, must make the tracks
[02:43.67]You see four fronts, but now you see four backs
[02:46.48][Hook]
[02:51.80]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[02:53.67]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[02:55.55]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[02:58.05]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[03:00.24]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[03:02.42]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[03:04.61]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[03:07.11]I got the rhythm, you got the rhythm
[03:09.30]
