God Lives Through Lyrics


Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
There's a million MC's that claim they want some
But see, I create sounds that make your ears go numb
Peace to Sayers Ave, yeah, you know how we go
My best friend Steven at the Home Depot
Lowerton is in the house, I can't forget Southside
Walk past MC's like that girl did the Pharcyde
I'm labeled as the cat's meow, the MC with the know how
Act like you know, not now but right now
Beast of the East, on MC's I have a feast
I'd eat that ass like quiche, crack a smile like Shanice

Straight out Jamaica scene, Jamaica Queens
But you could find me out in Georgia or anywhere in between
Now, if my partners don't look good, Malik won't look good
If Malik don't look good, the Quest won't look good
If the Quest don't look good, then Queens won't look good
But since the sounds are universal, New York won't look good
Picture Phife losin' a battle, come on, get off it
Put down the microphone, son, surrender, forfeit
Did I hear somethin' 'bout a crew? What they wanna do?
You better call Mr. Babyface so he can bring out the cool in you
Or it'll be a sad love song being sung by Toni Braxton
And I'll dissect you like a fraction
Oh, you wanna be Top Cat MC's, I'll pop you like a zit
You wanna be the champ, you more like chief some shit
Big up myself every time when it comes to this
MC's be runnin' scared as if they're watchin' the Exorcist
I kick more game than a crackhead from Hempstead
My styles are milk, man, you'd think that I was breast fed
You know the steelo when the Diggy Dawg is on the scene
I dedicate this to all the MC's outta Queens
That goes for Onyx, LL, Run D M C
Akinyele, Nasty Nas and the Extra P
You need a chart, straight up and down man, there ain't no other
Nuff respect to all my peeps that made the album cover
Yo Tip, don't worry Dunn, you know I get the party jumpin'
Get on the mic my man and break 'em off a lil' lil' sumthin'
Yo Tip, don't worry Dunn, you know I get the party jumpin'
Get on the mic my man and break 'em off a lil' sumthin'
La la la la, doop doo do do
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
La la la la, shooby doop do do
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
La la la la, shooby doop do do
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
You know I'm on the other, for the top 40
Haha, you gotta do it like this
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
(Oh my God! Oh my God!)
We got the funk Doody Don shit, clearly it's the bomb shit
So recognize me, kids, memorize me
Everyday, I be scroungin', really, I be loungin'
I play the down low, very, very incognito
Aries is my sign, I know that I can rhyme
Sometimes, I rhyme in riddles, plus, I make the hunnies wiggle
Intellect is the major, some heads like to wager
The skills on the hill, overlookin' dollar bills
Man, ya crazy, thinkin' you can phase me
The ab doesn't study near nonsense money
Life seems to meet me, MC's seem too cheesy
With they doody ass renditions of defeatin' competition
I rock to the roll, man, yes, I'm a soul man
Bet'cha bottom dolla, Vinia will make ya holla
As ya stand at attention, did I forget to mention?
MC's will give me twenty, if I sense that they act funny
Lyrics are abundant, right there, I sound redundant
Just mentionin' the fact that the area is fat
I dwell in the unda so hunny, it's no wonder
That I get plenty of tail, well, I even get white
I'ma bet hittin' head crack, there money, take that
Breakin' niggaz off, cut their bank, then I'm off
While my Nik'es match my lil' hat, beat joint is mad fat
Got the cutter of the box if a kid thinks he's OX
For tier means creator, the poetry relater
It's hemp, like Betsy Ross
Let me tell you who's the boss
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la, smooth it out y'all
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
La la la
(Oh my God!)
Queens got a Zoo, Brooklyn got a Zoo
Bronx got a Zoo, Long Island got a Zoo
Long Island got the zone
Jersey got a Zoo, Philly got a Zoo
Milwaukee got a Zoo
L.A. got a Zoo, Oaktown got the zone
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
See, I like to get down Jack

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
