When the mic is in my [D] hand, I'm never hesitant

[G] Roomboy [F#] composer, step to me, you're over
[C#] Brothers wanna flex, you're not mad, [G] cobra
MC short and [F#] black, there ain't no other
[C#] Trini born fat like Neil Long's [G] grandmother
Different shot, they [F#] all got Mike Long's ditto
Honey, [C#] tell you man, it's no chill
Or else you'll be a [G] widow, widow
Did not you [F#] know that my style's a top dollar?
The [C#] five foot assassin, I can fleece off his [G] collar
Hip hop scholar, since B and B had to adopt
Got to [C#] hide amongst your bros, complexion of a [G] hockey puck
You better ask [F#] somebody on how we flip the script
Come to [C#] a tribe show and watch the three kids [G] rip, rip

[G] Entertainment love a [F#] smile cause it gets a rev rent

Donkey like your [F#] grandpa's drawers, don't test me
We [C#] in like that, you're dead like [G] Wesley
We'll be coming [F#] through, get tickets to see me
We [C#] work for the paper so there'll never be a [G] beamy
Lyrics are [F#] abundant cause we got it by the mask
[C#] Ego's on our idol cause the music is the [G] task
Vansville up on the [F#] pitch, it's purple

York [F#] City represent represent
A tribe called [C#] Quest, represent [Gm] represent
Then the door designs [F#] flip it with the styles I invent
A tribe called [C#] Quest, represent [G] represent
MC's like [F#] to meddle, where's my [Bm] proposition
I let my lyrics [C#] flow and took the whole [G] position
I'm radical [F#] with this like the man is strongest
[D] So that's a tip, settle [C#] down, what's the reason for the [G] laughing?
I really can't [F#] say, I guess I'll have to keep on crying
Too much going [C#] on, people killing, people [Gm] dying
But I won't dwell [F#] on that, I think I'll elevate my mental
Thanks for [C#] these bars on the beat, go [G] instrumental
Yo, I'll take [F#] it back, I'm the Indian giver
MC's take [C#] notes as I stand and [D] deliver
Percussion is [F#] a nest, D squared [D] the best
Why the [C#] dodging bullets?
You should be [G] dodging quests
Don't get [F#] me wrong, violence is not a forte
I just like [C#] the bomb kick, the lyrics feels [G] like Pele
Tip, [F#] educate him, morale's a shiggly [D] dabble
Got a feeling, what's [C#] the plan this season?
I'll look out [A#] like that
Okay, I am recognizing that the voice that's on [A#] my head
Is urging me to be myself and never [N] follow someone else
Because opinions are like voices, we all have a different counsel
Just clean out all of [C#] your ears, these are my views
And you will find that we [F#] revolutionize it with a kick and [A] a snare
The ghetto both [C#] releases on a statewide airfare
Soon to be [F#] the continent and then the freaking globe
This moon, put [C#] it all as we mingle at the mall
We're off in [F#] competition cause it doesn't make one of us the award
We [C#] gotta work hard, you know the damn part
Try to be [F#] the baddest is the level that we strive
[C#] Try to be the baddest or sold to
