Verse 1
(E flat minor) Linden Boulevard (D major) represent,
represent
Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
When the mic is in my hand,
I'm never hesitant
My favourite jam back in the (A flat major) day was

Honey (E flat minor) tell your man (A flat major) to chill,
or else you'll be a widow
(D major) Did not you know that my
styles are top-dollar?
The The Five-Foot Assassin Assassin
knocking (A major) fleas off his collar
(D major) Hip-hop scholar scholar since being
knee-high to to a duck
The height of Mugg (A major) sy Bogues, complexion
of a hockey puck
You (D major) better ask somebody
on how we flip the script
Come to a Tribe (A major) show and watch
New- Play with audio & scroll
Upgrade to play 20,000+ songs ads free, and enjoy playing with music.
Verse 2
the three kids rip

A Tribe Called Quest repres (A major) ent,
represent
Verse 3
Huh-huh, (A minor) here here we (D major) go,
you know that I'm the rebel
Throwing out the wicked like
(A flat major) God did the (A major) Devil
(D major) Funky like your grandpa's drawers,

We in like that,
you're (A flat major) dead like Presley
(D major) When we coming through get
tickets to see me
We work for the paper,
so there'll (A major) never be a (D major) freebie
Lyrics are abundant cause
we got it by the mass
Egos are all idle 'cause the
(A major) music is the task
Valen (D major) zuela on the pitch,
curveball, catch it
I think I got it locked,
just (A major) smooth while I latch it
(B flat major) Right, (D major) now I must move with
the quickness
Here comes (A flat major) Shaheed so
we must bear the witness
Verse 4
Stir (D major) it up! Stir (F major) it up! (D major) Stir it (F major) up!

A Tribe Called Quest repres (A major) ent,

Verse 6
(D major) MCs like to meddle,
but here's my proposition
I let my lyrics flow,
(A major) and juxt your whole position
I'm (D major) radical with this like the man
this song is after
(B flat major) Yo Tip, settle (A major) down,
what's the reason for the laughter?
Verse 7
I (D major) really can't say,
I guess I laugh to keep from crying
So much going on,
people (A flat major) killing, people dying
But (D major) I won't dwell on that,
I think I'll elevate my mental
Thanks for these bars on
the (A flat major) Biko instrumental
Verse 8
(D major) Yo, I'll take it back,
I'm the Indian giver
MCs take notes as I (A major) stand and deliver
Per (D major) cussion isn't less,
D's wear the vest
Why they dodging bullets,
you (A major) should be dodging Quest
(D major) Don't get me wrong,
violence is not our forte
I just like to rhyme,
kick the (A major) lyric skills like Pele
(D major) Tip educate 'em,
my rhymes are strictly taboo
Fill 'em with some fantasies
(A major) and I'll look out like Tattoo
Verse 9
Okay, (D major) I am recognizing
that the (D major) voice inside my head
Is urging me to be myself but
never follow someone else
Because opinions are like voices,
we all have a different kind
So just clean (D major) out all of your ears,
these are my (A flat major) views and you will find
That we (D major) revolutionize over the
kick and the snare
The ghetto vocalist is on
a (A major) state-wide tear
tear
(D major) Soon to be the continent and then
the freaking globe
There's room for it all as
we mingle at the ball
We welcome compet (D major) ition cos it doesn't
make one lazy or worn
We gotta work hard,
you know the damn card
(D major) Try to be the phattest is the
level that we strive
Try to be the phattest also to stay alive
