Against the World Lyrics


Phife and Tip
Back at you
Right back at youTip and Phife
Drove around the block
Drove a lot
Lookin' all around
Don't see no cops
Whispered in your ear, a ghetto star
Sittin' on my lap inside of my car
Lookin' at my lips, take a taste
Taste yours too, rub your back
Run your fingers on the logo of my baseball hat
Moonlight dancin' inside of your eyes
Close your legs, I start to sigh
Now I reach down to unlace my Nikes
Kick off your Adidas 'cause that's what you like
Chris Tucker joke passed inside of my head
Put the thought away think of you instead

Hot outside, it's hot in here
Roll down the window the breeze in your hair
Your earrings shake, you a baby doll
You say you want me but did you want them all?
Make me feel special, I know that you can
Make me feel special like a prominent man
Prominent, dominant McCoy and I'm real
Another brotha's fan? Forget how he feel/Tip and PhifeTip and PhifeTip and PhifeTip and PhifeMe and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the worldMe and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the worldMe and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the worldYeah the world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world
Whole wide world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world
Whole wide world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world/Zonin' undress ya?Still hold play?
Or can you hold my hand, it's better that way
If we was on video I'd press rewind
A nigga think about you all the time
Pidgeon dropped a note on top my head
RandB,pop girl's a thoroughbred
Run around the track, let me slow you dowwwwnnnnnn (Pause)
Pick you up
Raise your cups
Let's double up
Bomb came known, natural disas
Fall in love with me? huh, well that's that ass
Wanna get you, inside my world
Process, straight, afro or curl
Stretch me out, fade me in
Forever you in need let me see you grin?
He bust with you, I'm a tap his chin?
Make me feel special, I know that you can
Make me feel special like a prominent man
Prominent, dominant McCoy and I'm real
Another brotha's fan? forget he feel/Tip and PhifeMe and you girl go against the world
Against the world?
Hell yeah the worldYeah the world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world
Whole wide world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world

Whole wide world
Yeah the world
Yeah the world/

A Tribe Called Quest was an influential hip hop group of the 1990s, originally formed in Queens, New York City in 1985. The group is composed of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, Jarobi White, was an intermittent collaborator appearing on their first album, but he left the group soon after, although he is mentioned as a 'sometimes' member on their third album liner notes. Along with De La Soul, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective.

Q-Tip and Phife had grown up together in Queens, and met Muhammad in high school. The group's name was coined by The Jungle Brothers, whose members attended the same school. Soon after, the group began performing live and recording on a local label. The group became a part of the Native Tongues family, a Hip-Hop artist collective also consisting of the groups Jungle Brothers, De La Soul and Black Sheep.

At the time of their inception, A Tribe Called Quest was unique within the hip-hop community for eschewing gangsta rap and macho posturing. Their lyrics focused on abstract and social issues such as the word "nigger", date rape and consumerism. Musically, the group helped pioneer the jazz-rap style (along with groups such as Gang Starr and De La Soul). They made their studio debut in 1990 with People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. Though this album was critically acclaimed and lead to a strong fan following, their next album, The Low End Theory (1991) was a massive artistic success, appearing on several best of the year lists. It is considered one of the most important hip-hop albums to date. The Low End Theory was followed by the equally strong Midnight Marauders (1993), while Beats, Rhymes and Life (1996) and The Love Movement (1998) did not meet with as much success.

Following The Love Movement, the group disbanded in 1998. Q-Tip and Phife Dawg went on to pursue solo careers while Muhammad co-founded the R&B group Lucy Pearl.

Recently, there have been rumors of a reunion between the trio, ignited by a spate of group concert apperances around the US, but their most recent appearance was a Bumbershoot, a three-day music festival in Seattle in 2006 and there has been little news of an upcoming album, leading some to believe that the rumors may be unfounded.
