[A Tribe Called Quest, Leverson, Anita Baker - Been 1nce lyrics]
My name's Malik my hobby's putting
MC's to the test
And if you front I'll put my foot
Up in your friggin' chest
Freestyle fanatic
And never will it ever stop
You crew is loose
You might just want to call the cops
Aye, yo I gotta put some action on paper
Make sure my verse jump up
And spread out like (Aaah)
The only tip I got for a waiter
Is watch the doorknob hit me where
The dirty dog shoulda' bit me
That was my train of thought
But for so long I fought
Now I'm at a level supreme to the devil
So turn up the bass and lay low on the treble
We be the real MC's and you dead
Bring a shovel
Revitalize, the vital Tribe nigga
The ladies sweat the style like
The squirrel sweat the nuts (Been so long)
You know a fellas good for the moola
(Been so long) don't smoke no woolas
Read the name call me Slick Tip the Ruler
(Been so long)
If one nigga front I'mma make more pay
Cause tonight, we gettin off like OJ
(Been so long)
And yo I got a Dawg that bites
Fuck the barking yo I got a crew with the
Beats and the smarts and (Been so long)
I fought my shit up on
Linden in the one-nine-two
Forever writing never biting ain't
Shit else to do (Been so long)
Hoping to battle
But most MC's ain't ready yet
But if they utter one word then
It's as good as set (Been so)
You have MC's dropping
Bombs that's incredible
Some of the brothers
Their styles are just despicable
As for me see I just do how I love to do
Try to deny me of my props
Then I'll be seeing you (Been so long)
I'm coming rugged with the Linden
Boule type of slang
And yo, we'll see who can hang yo
You on point Tip? Yo once Again Phife
You on point Tip? Yo once Again Phife
You on point Tip? Yo once again Phife
Ayo that kid is niiiiiiiice
You on point Tip? Yo once Again Phife
You on point Tip? Yo once Again Phife
You on point Tip? Yo once again Phife
Ayo that kid is niiiiiiiice
MC's to the test
And if you front I'll put my foot
Up in your friggin' chest
Freestyle fanatic
And never will it ever stop
You crew is loose
You might just want to call the cops
Aye, yo I gotta put some action on paper
Make sure my verse jump up
And spread out like (Aaah)
The only tip I got for a waiter
Is watch the doorknob hit me where
The dirty dog shoulda' bit me
That was my train of thought
But for so long I fought
Now I'm at a level supreme to the devil
So turn up the bass and lay low on the treble
