Verses From The Abstract Lyrics

    Q-tip:
    I had a dream about my man last night
    And my man came by the studio
    And his name is...
    Busta rhymes in effect, shaheed is in effect
    Phife did-awg is in effect
    Check it out and give me my 'spect

    I'm movin, yes i'm groovin cuz my mouth is on the motor
    Use the coast in the mornin to avoid the funky odor
    Can't help bein funky, i'm the funky abstract brotha
    Funky in a sense, but i play the undacova
    Once had a fettish, fettish for some booty
    Now i'm gettin funky and my rappin, that's my duty
    Brothas tend to jock on the style in particular
    If you got the ego like some brothas, then i'll get with ya
    But if i don't pursue, then i just don't give a (fuck)
    My motto in the 90's is be happy makin bucks
    Girls love the jim, cuz it causes crazy friction
    When it goes up in and fluctuates the diction
    I still understand the (uh!) cuz that's what i met her for
    I'm hooked on the swings, so just call me the music whore
    Women love the voice, brothas dig the lyrics
    Quest the people's choice, we thrive it for the spirit
    If you can't hear it, then get the wax utensils
    Write my rhymes straight up, don't get with no fancy stensils
    The rhymes we get is sweet, we stay away from tart
    Our perfection is at work, perkin up the art
    If you want to battle, i suggest you check your clock
    Your demise is comin up and i want your man to watch
    Be the prime example, i deep instilled the sample
    Insignificance, here i'll place you on the mantle
    Born up in harlem, reside down in jamaica
    The girl i used to rock, her moms was a claker
    Now what does that make her? the evil money taker?
    The crazy move faker, i used that to break her

    (vinia mojica singing in the background)
    Phife is in the house, uncle mike is in the house
    Bob power is in the house, tim latham is in the house
    Wise men is in the house, brand nubs is in the house
    The j beez, they in the house and de la, they in the house

    I must regroup my thoughts and kick the next ones for my people
    Please don't be deceived by ugly slice of evil
    The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket
    Wrap yourself up in it, if you love it, then you'll thank it
    Don't move to rebuttal, wave your hand for action
    The ladies of the '90's want more than satisfaction
    They want keys and gs, and all those illy things
    If you want to, i'll show you, just what the ab can bring
    I keep a tight net with my brothas ken and kenny
    If the question is of rhymes, then i'll tell ya, i got plenty
    The thing that men and women need to do is stick together
    Progressions can't be made if we're separate forever
    I hooked this funky beat with the loop and the feature
    With the funky singin by miss vinia mojica
    So listen because the quest is led through the underground
    My people been up on quest to long, no more will we be down
    People tend to riff cuz they don't know the mental
    People tend to bug cuz their beats are hard but gentle
    Afro kinda lurks through the body of this youngun'
    Play like bobby byrd on your back and your comin to
    The house of the jazz, of the funk, of the rhythm
    All the goods are welcome, but if you're a villain
    I'll just wait and debate, contemplate your arrival
    If flexin is your motive, then you don't like survival
    The abstract is speakin, the hard beats is reachin
    The black and puerto ricans
    Cuz their butt naked, streakin through the ever murky streets
    Of the urbanized areas
    Blastin out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria

    Craig is in the house, pete rock is in the house
    Cl is in the house, ultra mag is in the house
    Nice and smooth is in the house, big daddy kane is in the house
    Beatnuts is in the house, special ed is in the house

    Yeah(7x)
    This one goes out to my man
    Thanks alot ron carter on the bass
    Yes my man ron carter is on the bass
    Now check it out
    Born into the 91 decade
    You gotta say the quest is on
    And goddamn it, yes the quest is on
    And we out!
