Ebm
Back in the days when
Verse 1
I was a teenager
Bb
Ebm
Before I had status and before
I had a pager
Em
You could find the Abstract
listening to hip hop
My pops used to say,
it reminded him of be-bop
Ebm
I I said, "Well daddy don't
you know that things go in cycles
Bb
Ebm
The way that Bobby Brown is just
ampin' like Michael"
Em
Its all expected, things are for the looking
If you got the money,
Quest is for the booking
Ebm
Come on everybody,
let's get with the fly modes
Still got room on the truck,
Em
load the back boom
Listen to the rhymes,
to get a mental picture
Cb
Of this black man, black woman venture
Ebm
Why do I say that? 'Cause
I gotta speak the truth man
Doing what we feel for the
music is the proof and
Em
Planted on the ground,
the act is so together
Bona fide strong,
Ebm
you need leverage to sever
The unit, yes, the unit,
yes, the unit called the jazz is
We deliver it each year on the street
for the beat 'cause
Em
You can find it on the rack
in your record store(store)
If you get the record, then your thoughts are
Ebm
adored and appreciated
'Cause we're ever so glad we made it
We work hard, so we gotta thank God
Em
Dishing out the plastic,
do the dance till you spastic
Ebm
If you diss, it gets drastic
Listen to the rhymes,
'cause its time to make gravy
If it moves your booty,
Cb
then shake, shake it baby
Em
All the way to Africa a.K.a.
The Motherland (uh)
Stick out the left,
then I'll ask for the other hand
Ebm
That's the right hand,
Black Man (man)
Em
Only if you was noted as my man (man)
If I get the credit, then I'll think I deserve it
If you fake moves,
don't fix your mouth to word it
Ebm
Get in the zone of positivity,
not negativity
'Cause we gotta strive for longevity
Em
If you botch up, what's
in that (what?)
Ebm
A pair of Nikes, size ten-and-a-half (come on,
on, come on)
Verse 2
We gotta make moves
Never, ever, ever could we fake
moves (come on, come on)

Ebm
Em
ever could we fake moves (come on,
Ebm
come on) You gotta be a winner all the time
Can't fall prey to a hip hop crime
Em
With the dope raps and dope
tracks for you for blocks
From the fly girlies to the
hardest of the rocks
Ebm
Musically, the Quest, is on the rise
We on these Excursions so you
must realize
Em
Hip hop continually, about the Zulu
If you don't like it, get
Ebm
off the Zulu tip
So what can you do in the
times which exist?
You can't fake moves on your
brother or your sis
Em
But if your sis is a
(bitch), brother is a jerk
Leave 'em both alone and continue
with your work
Ebm
Whatever it may be into
this society
Everything is fair,
at least that how it seems to me
Cb
You must be honest and
Em
true to the next
Don't be phony and expect
one not to flex
Ebm
Especially if you rhyme,
you have to live by the pen
Your man is your man,
then treat him like your friend
Em
All it is, is the code of the streets
So listen to the knowledge being
dropped over beats
Ebm
Beats that are hard,
beats that are funky
It could get you hooked like
a crackhead junkie
Em
What you gotta do to is know that
the Tribe's in this sphere
The Abstract Poet,
Ebm
prominent like Shakespeare
Verse 3

in the day (excursions, excursions)
And white thighed supporters at night

With their tongue hangin' out
(excursions, excursions)
Time is running and passing,
passing and running (excursions, excursions)
Running and passing,
passing and running (excursions, excursions)
