Verse 1: Q-Tip
kick it? To all the people who can Quest like A Tribe does
G|------| D|------| A|------| E|------|
Before this, did you really know what live was?
Comprehend to the track, for it's why cuz
Gettin measures on the tip of the vibers
Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz
Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug
If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug
Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug
Afrocentric living is a big shrug
G|-8-------------8/-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-7-------------7/-|
A life filled with fun that's what I love
G|-14-----------16\-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-12-----------14\-|
A lower plateau is what we're above
G|-8-------------8/-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-7-------------7/-|
If you diss us, we won't even think of
G|-14-----------16\-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-12-----------14\-|
Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?
G|-8-------------8/-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-7-------------7/-|
This rhythm really fits like a snug glove
G|-14-----------16\-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-12-----------14\-|
Like a box of positives it's a plus, love
G|-8-------------8/-| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|-7-------------7/-|
As the Tribe flies high like a dove
G|-14----------------| D|-------------------| A|-------------------| E|-12----------------|
(Can I kick it?)
