A Tribe Called Quest - The Crooklyn Dodgers lyrics

Question what is it that everybody has
And some pirates and thieves try to take?

(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed
(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed

I give my promise to all y'all
To keep my shit hittin'
Half of y'all claim dog but meow like kitten
Flippin' on brothers just like
Mary Lou Retton
Get off that ass and see what I'm settin'
Born with this inside, you just can't get it
This is the lethal pop and you have no weapon
Who is the native brother
Who keep asses steppin'
Make deep impressions and
Constantly be reppin'

When I was young I'd stretch gaucho
Now I'm on Letterman, on the couch, yo
The black thing with knives is
Called the back do'
Can't we be cool instead
Of being foul though
Ghetto child dreams of fast
Cars and fast dollars
Impressions of live sometimes makes ya holler
Scream all that devil shit and
Talk like a scholar
You dumb as a doorknob, and why do you bother

Phife Dawg puttin' the bite back in yours
Top dog, puttin' it up, flick his balls
MC from now til I get a frown
Shake that ass girl because
You world renowned
Wake up, look at the sun, see the sights
Bull duke, you've got to die for your rights
MC's, y'all got to work for the mic
Zombies, do it from dusk to the night
(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed
(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed

Rock to the beat, yo it's never the same
Good girls usually got good game
Hot cats tearin' that ass out the frills
Block ass, you had no skills
That's the reals
Make this money without the friction
Take this honey, there goes your diction
Rappers better retreat, fix your joints
My whole crew got bumps on they points

Rumors being spread 'bout me and my click
We can't rock shows and
Our rhymes ain't shhh
Might not've heard it, or maybe you have
Between me and you, they can kiss my ass
Used to get angry, used to get quite vexed
But say what you may, just cash my check
Cause all I'm ever guilty of
Is going on tour
Doing shows galore, and bringin' it raw
(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed
(Da booty) And if you is a
Crook then you takin' it
(Da booty) And if you got money
You shakin' it
(Da booty) C'mon everybody, just heed
That's word to Phife Dawg and my man Shaheed
