Word Play Lyrics

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
Power, people really get caught up 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
Attitude, is how I get my point across You can't call yourself an MC if you know that you're soft Aggressive, is how the stage is approached I burn MC's like toast 'cuz I'm the host with the most
Illin' that's what you do when you're assin' Whether it be you or all up in your past and Cashin', you turned your people corrupt It's six o'clock, girl, you gotta get your weight up
Sex, either a man or a woman Is the agenda, but when lovers get down Froggin', when niggaz try to play roles But when they really need to put that shit background
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
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
Willie, that's what I kick to get this Millie on a lily Now, I'm packin' dimes like chilli Stress, that's what I always go through 'Cuz it's survival of the fittest on the 192
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
Analyze, that's what I do to MC's 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
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
Freestyle, a true MC trait And when you do it ill Niggaz respect it as great Yo, I gotta
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
