Same Ol' Thing - A Tribe Called Quest

Check my style out

Life situations are the ones I speak about

It seems cats nowadays be gettin' introduced to courage

Don’t get discouraged 'cause my words are fluid like flourish

We got the bounty, we from the Queens county

Overlookin' things like a Rushmore Mounty

And got no other choice except to get a little love

We rise above, the beat be fittin' like a glove

The pain in my heart is getting dosed by joy

We have no other ploy but to bring the B-boy

There’s nothing on this Earth that can instill fear

The locomotive, puttin' my thing in gear

I only have the fear of God and that’s taqwa

You need Binaca;

your trap is blazing like Blanka

I got the lethal, you couldn’t put a match to it

Let me know, yo, where we could do it like Stuart

Mind over matter, action is needed

When the big one not to be superseded

Responsibility is somethin' I can’t deny

The illegalties is the nonsense reply

Most cats who scramble do so because they want to

But known to kick rhymes in the past on impromptu

My willy’s hot like two links in the skillet

A room filled with speakers, one stage, watch me kill it

Knowledge should be sought from the cradle to the grave

Rhyming opposition get it twist like Super Dave

You be looking bug just like Uncle Jesse

Don’t make the scene messy

'Cause it’ll jump, that’s word to Aunt Bessie

Profound sentences of pure lyric gems

Some of my friends be liking people with stems

Folks be on the chase for this cheddar

Thinkin' it makes your life better

But it can make you ass out

And when I’m at a show chicks never pass out

We got the joints to make the whole Mash Out out

A Tribe Called Quest make the party go down

Plus we bring positive vibes to fill up all your crowns

Lyrics comes to cats like a hot and cold flash

Some can come with ease, therefore, it’s in a smash

Held the fort down like the Justice League hall of Super Friends

But in the world turmoil spins

Brothers walk the street with the ill pace face

City life breeds contempt for each race

All praises due to Allah and I should say it

It’s The Abstract motivator making things clear

Puttin' things in perspective to rock and roll

'Cause you know this kid has got wild soul

Americana makes drama like starved-out piranha

Cold like ice, jet hot like a sauna

It’s the haves verse the have-not

And guess who’s arrived in the hood

Exposing all wrongs, it’s all good

Ayo, word up, hip-hop is live like a wire

Let’s get a little bit before the whole joint expire

I got to stress it again, this here is for my kin

And all my babies, children of the world, no maybe’s

So, yo, we gotta move through and push through

Because we gotta make it happen, keep it true blue

It’s like that

So much confusion goin' on

So much confusion goin' on

Inside all mine

Inside all mine

So much confusion goin' on

Uh, uh, uh, uh

But everything will be fine

So much confusion goin' on

So much confusion goin' on

Gotta make it alright

Gotta make it alright

Gotta elevate your mind

Elevate your mind

Elevate your mind

Elevate your mind

Elevate your mind

Elevate your mind

Elevate your mind
