Mr. Muhammad

A Tribe Called Quest · People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm [1990]

[Q-Tip]

Dip dip dive, to the socialised

Issued rhythms that are on the rise

Step right up, with an opened circuit

Get this current, don't you know it's worth it

Presented with, Tribe's intricity

Compared, don't you know? Vibe electricity

Strong like a bomb, quick like a comet

Can I get whatever from Mr. Muhammad?

[Q-Tip]

If Muhammad has the breaks, who will have the backs?

[whispered] Bodies set it up all flow to rhythm stack

Okay I see my brother (huh), you know what we can do (what?)

Cruise with the rhythms (hah), Shaheed will lead us too (yeah)

Posin with the hotties (huh), harder than the hard (hard)

Still Muhammad plays with a full deck of cards (card)

The Tribe's stuff is present (yeah), established with the beat (beat)

We roll around on wheels (huh) or utilise the feet (feet)

Go and keep progressin (huh), egos of the Tribe (Tribe)

If we have to swing it (uhh) we won't take a dive (dive)

Comprende my compadre? (Yeah) Kid you want some more? (Yeah)

Muhammad push the button (huh), sample sing the score (ho)



Brothers try to pose, up with the Tribesmen

Rhythm on your toes, yes it's the funk again

Appreciate the flow, denounce the circuit breakers

Do it with the best, the movers and the shakers

Bustin out your heap, ??? my vehicle

Burnin up the felts, rhythm's up to me

It will be strong like a bomb, quick like a comet

Can I get a whatever from Mr. Muhammad?
