[00:58.76]
[01:17.82]Q-Tip is my title, I don't think that it's vital
[01:20.01]For me to be your idol, but dig this recital
[01:22.51]If you can't envision a brother who ain't dissing
[01:25.01]Slinging this and that, 'cause this and that was missing
[01:27.51]Instead, it's been injected, the Tribe has been perfected
[01:30.01]Oh yes, it's been selected, the art makes it protected
[01:32.51]Afrocentric living, Africans be givin'
[01:35.01]A lot to the cause, 'cause the cause has been risen
[01:37.82]Some brothers, they be flamming, thinking we ain't slammin'
[01:40.01]Coming off like the days when we used to wear the tans and
[01:42.51]A blue-collar talker, hemisphere stalker
[01:45.32]A glass of OJ and a ten mile walk-a
[01:47.82]If you're in a Jeep and you dig what you're hearing
[01:50.32]Can I get a beep and a side order of cheering?
[01:52.82]I am what I am, that's a tribal man
[01:55.32]We all know the colors, we all must stand
[01:57.82]As we start our travels, things they will unravel
[02:00.32]"Que sera sera", for this unit is like gravel
[02:03.14]Won't be gone for long, listen to the song
[02:05.63]If you can't pull it, all ya gotta do is—
[02:08.13]
[02:08.45]Push it along, push it along
[02:10.63]Push it along, yeah, push it along
[02:27.51]
[02:28.44]Put one up for the Phifer, it's time to decipher
[02:30.95]The ills of the world make the situation lighter
[02:33.45]The clock is always ticking, the systems should be kickin'
[02:35.95]Like Tip said in "Ham and Eggs", I eat chicken, chicken, chicken
[02:38.45]Should I release the lever, the lever of the clever
[02:40.95]Embellish on the funk as we start to endeavor?
[02:43.45]The roots of the rap filling up the gap
[02:45.95]With the smash of a hand and a little toe tap
[02:49.39]
[02:49.39]The boom, the bip—the boom-bip
[02:51.26]Indicates to the brothers that we be on the flip tip
[02:53.76]Phonies start to crumble, funky rhythm rumbles
[02:56.26]Through the dance-hall, but my anthem is humble
[02:58.76]It's the nitty-gritty, my time is itty-bitty
[03:01.26]So I kick the slash for the gipper and the witty
[03:03.76]This ain't trial and error, more like tribin' era
[03:06.26]Constantly rude as some sort of tribal terror
[03:09.07]The street can't depart from the bloody heart
[03:11.57]Repair the wear and tear, don't stop 'fore it starts
[03:14.07]Won't be gone for long, listen to the song
[03:16.57]If you can't pull it, all ya gotta do is—
[03:18.76]
[03:19.07]Push it along, push it along
[03:21.57]Push it along, yeah, push it along
[03:59.00]
[04:00.00]Marching off the project, we hope that you will subject
[04:02.02]It's good to be an object and never, ever reject
[04:04.70]The tribe who meanders with drunken propaganda
[04:07.51]Keep it in boom and never will we slander
[04:09.07]Redeems should be handed, don't let me demand it
[04:12.02]Money gives a nudge to the poet star bandit
[04:15.01]Control it, then recluse it, follow, you won't lose it
[04:17.51]Mysterious is the tribe for we choose it
[04:20.01]Although she's flipping crazy, give my love to Gracie
[04:22.51]God, could you help 'cause this Quest is crazy spacey?
[04:25.01]The pigs are wearing blue, and in a year or two
[04:27.51]We'll be going up the creek in a great big canoe
[04:30.01]What we gonna do, save me and my brothers?
[04:32.51]Hop inside the bed and pull over the covers
[04:35.01]Never will we do that and we ain't trying to rule that
[04:37.51]We just want a slab of the ham, don't you know, black?
[04:40.63]This society of fake reality
[04:42.51]Are nothing but a peg of informality
[04:45.01]While I sing my song, sing it all day long
[04:47.82]If you can't pull it, all ya gotta do is—
[04:50.01]
[04:50.63]Push it along, push it along
[04:52.82]Push it along, yeah, push it along
[05:10.63]
