Word Play lyrics

Q-Tip: 

 One, two, what'cha wanna do 

 Three, four, cuz we're gonna give you more 

 Five, six, and we ain't the tricks 

 Seven, eight, and we got it straight 

 Nine, ten, cuz we make it blend 

 Eleven, twelve, never ever goin for self 

 Tribe Called Quest situation 

 Check it out 

 

 Q-Tip: 

 Power. People really get caught with this on different levels 

 Power controls your life 

 Money. The companion of the first. Some people tend to worship 

 And we know this ain't right. 

 

 Phife: 

 Attitude(attitude) is how I get my point across. 

 You can't call yourself an MC if you know that you're soft. 

 Agressive...is how the stage is approached. I burn MCs like toast 

 Cuz I'm the host with the most. 

 

 Consequence: 

 Illin(illin) is what you do when you're assin. 

 Whether it be you or all up in your past and... 

 Cashin...done turned your people corrupt 

 It's six o'clock, girl, you gotta get your weight up 

 

 Q-Tip: 

 Sex(sex). Either a man or a woman. 

 This agenda, but when lovers get down 

 Froggin. When niggaz try to play roles 

 But when they really need to put that shit background 

 

 Phife: 

 Miserable(miserable) is what your whole crew will be 

 If you're not original and you show no strategy 

 Heavenly...is how the track tends to flow 

 And if you don't know, tell em diggy said so 

 

 Q-Tip: 

 We livin this cuz it's deep in our bones 

 A Tribe Called Quest with this hip hop jones 

 So sit and analyze the lyrical spray 

 Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)(word) 

 

 Consequence: 

 Willie. That's what I kick to get this Millie on a lilly 

 Now, I'm packin dimes like Chilli 

 Stress(stress). That's what I always go through 

 Cuz it's survival of the fittest on the 192 

 

 Q-Tip: 

 Knowledge. When the mind accept facts 

 On this plane of livin, knowledge be the key, black 

 Understanding. Gettin a grip on what's revealed 

 When shit be real, can't give understanding back 

 

 Phife: 

 Analyze. That's what I do to MCs 

 That be talkin bout they this and that, money please 

 Ego. I'm on my own jock skill 

 Cuz if I don't say I'm the best, tell me who the hell will 

 

 Consequence: 

 Cheeba smoke y'all. That's what I use to get high 

 When I'm in a rut and I don't know why 

 Try. Yo try again my friend 

 Cuz you can't see this MC representin Linden 

 

 Q-Tip: 

 Freestyle(freestyle). A true MC trait 

 And when you do it ill, niggaz respect it as great 

 Yo, I gotta...(laughing) 

 

 Phife: 

 We livin this cuz it's deep in our bones 

 A Tribe Called Quest with the hip hop jones 

 So sit and analyze the lyrical spray 

 Cuz all it really is is word play(word play)
