[00:00:00] Verses from the Abstract - A Tribe Called Quest

[00:00:00] Written by：Kamaal Fareed/A Tribe Called Quest

[00:00:00] I had a dream about my man last night

[00:00:02] And my man came by the studio

[00:00:07] And his name is

[00:00:08] Busta Rhymes in effect

[00:00:11] Shaheed is in effect

[00:00:14] Phife Did-awg is in effect

[00:00:16] Check it out and give me my 'spect

[00:00:19] I'm moving yes I'm grooving cause my mouth is on the motor

[00:00:22] Use the Coast in the morning to avoid the funky odor

[00:00:25] Can't help being funky I'm the funky Abstract brother

[00:00:28] Funky in a sense but I play the undercover

[00:00:30] Once had a fetish fetish for some booty

[00:00:33] Now I'm getting funky in my rap and that's my duty

[00:00:36] Brothers tend to jock on the style in particular

[00:00:39] If you got the ego like some brothers then I'll get with ya

[00:00:41] But if I don't pursue then I just don't give a f**k

[00:00:44] My motto in the 90's is be happy making bucks

[00:00:47] Girls love the Jim cos it causes crazy friction

[00:00:50] When it goes up in and fluctuates the diction

[00:00:52] I still understand the oomph cause that's what I met her for

[00:00:55] I'm hooked on the swing so just call me the music whore

[00:00:58] Women love the voice brothers dig the lyrics

[00:01:01] Quest the people's choice we driving for the spirit

[00:01:03] If you can't hear it then get the wax utensil

[00:01:06] Write my rhymes straight up don't give it no fancy stencil

[00:01:09] The rhymes be getting sweet we stay away from tart

[00:01:11] A perfectionist at work perking up the art

[00:01:14] If you want to battle I suggest you check your clock

[00:01:17] Your demise is coming up and I want your man to watch

[00:01:20] Be the prime example or deeper still the sample

[00:01:22] Insignificance here I'll place you on the mantle

[00:01:25] Born up in Harlem reside down in Jamaica

[00:01:28] The girl I used to rock her moms was a Quaker

[00:01:31] Now what does that make her

[00:01:32] The evil money taker

[00:01:33] The crazy move faker I use that to break her

[00:01:36] Phife is in the house ooohh you know you got going on

[00:01:39] Uncle Mike is in the house this ain't a R&B song

[00:01:42] Bob Power is in the house you got it going on

[00:01:44] Tim Latham is in the house and on and on and on

[00:01:47] Wise Men is in the house

[00:01:50] The Brand Nubes is in the house

[00:01:52] The J Beez they in the house

[00:01:55] And De La they in the house

[00:01:58] I must regroup my thoughts and kick the next ones for my people

[00:02:01] Please don't be deceived by the ugly slice of evil

[00:02:03] The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket

[00:02:06] Wrap yourself up in it if you love it then you'll thank it

[00:02:09] Don't move to rebuttal wave your hand for action

[00:02:11] Some women in the 90's want more than satisfaction

[00:02:14] They want keys and Gs and all those illy things

[00:02:17] If you want to I'll show you just what the Ab can bring

[00:02:20] I keep a tight net with my brothers Ken and Kenny

[00:02:22] If the question is of rhymes then I'll tell ya I got plenty

[00:02:25] The thing that men and women need to do is stick together

[00:02:28] Progressions can't be made if we're separate forever

[00:02:31] I hooked this funky beat with the loop and the feature

[00:02:34] This the funky singing by Miss Vinia Mojica

[00:02:36] So listen because the Quest is led through the underground

[00:02:39] My people have been oppressed too long no more will we be down

[00:02:42] People tend to riff cause they don't know the mental

[00:02:45] People tend to bug cause the beats are hard but gentle

[00:02:47] Africano lurks through the body of this youngun'

[00:02:50] Play like Bobby Byrd on your back and you're coming to

[00:02:53] The house of the jazz of the funk of the rhythm

[00:02:55] All the goods are welcome but if you're a villain

[00:02:58] I'll just wait and debate contemplate your arrival

[00:03:01] If flexing is your motive then you don't like survival

[00:03:04] The Abstract is speaking the hard beats is reaching

[00:03:06] To Black and Puerto Ricans cause they're butt naked streaking

[00:03:09] Through the ever murky streets of the urbanized areas

[00:03:12] Blasting out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria

[00:03:15] Craig is in the house ooohh you know you got going on

[00:03:18] Pete Rock is in the house this ain't a R&B song

[00:03:20] CL is in the house you got it going on

[00:03:23] Ultramag is in the house and on and on and on

[00:03:26] Nice and Smooth is in the house

[00:03:39] And this one goes out to my man

[00:03:41] Thanks a lot Ron Carter on the bass

[00:03:44] Yes my man Ron Carter is on the bass

[00:03:47] And check it out going into the '91 decade

[00:03:51] Up in until the 2000 decade

[00:03:55] And goddamn it yes the Quest is on

[00:03:58] And we out
