Verses from the Abstract -The Low End Theory
I had a dream about my man last night
And my man came by the studio
And his name is
Busta Rhymes in effect Shaheed is in effect
Phife Did-awg is in effect
Check it out and give me my'spect
I'm moving yes I'm grooving
'Cuz my mouth is on the motor
Use the Coast in the morning
To avoid the funky odor
Can't help being funky
I'm the funky Abstract brotha
Funky in a sense but I play the undacova
Once had a fetish fetish for some booty
Now I'm getting funky
And my rapping that's my duty
Brothas tend to jock on the style in particular
If you got the ego like some brothas
Then I'll get with ya
But if I don't pursue
Then I just don't give
My motto in the 90's is be happy making bucks
Girls love the jim 'cuz it causes crazy friction
When it goes up in and fluctuates the diction
I still understand the uh
'Cuz that's what I met her for
I'm hooked on the swings
So just call me the music whore
Women love the voice brothas dig the lyrics
Quest the people's choice
We thrive it for the spirit
If you can't hear it
Then get the wax utensils
Write my rhymes straight up
Don't get with no fancy stencil
The rhymes we get is sweet
We stay away from tart
A perfectionist at work
Perking up the art
If you want to battle
I suggest you check your clock
Your demise is coming up
And I want your man to watch
Be the prime example
I deep instilled the sample
Insignificance here
I'll place you on the mantle
Born up in Harlem reside down in Jamaica
The girl I used to rock
Her moms was a claker
Now what does that make her
The evil money taker
The crazy move faker
I used that to break her
Phife is in the house
Uncle Mike is in the house
Bob Power is in the house
Tim Latham is in the house
Wise Men is in the house
The Brand Nubes is in the house
The Jay Bee they in the house and De La
They in the house
I must regroup my thoughts
And kick the next ones for my people
Please don't be deceived by ugly slice of evil
The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket
Wrap yourself up in it
If you love it then you'll thank it
Don't move to rebuttal
Wave your hand for action
Some women in the '90's want more than satisfaction
They want keys and Gs
And all those illy things
If you want to I'll show you
Just what the Ab can bring
I keep a tight net with my brothas Ken and Kenny
If the question is of rhymes
Then I'll tell ya I got plenty
The thing that men and women
Need to do is stick together
Progressions can't be made
If we're separate forever
I hooked this funky beat with
The loop and the feature
Is the funky singing by Miss Vinia Mojica
So listen because the Quest
Is led through the underground
My people have been oppressed too long
No more will
People tend to riff 'cuz they don't know the mental
People tend to bug 'cuz their beats are hard but gentle
Afro kinda lurks through the body of this youngun'
Play like Bobby Byrd on your back and your coming to
The house of the jazz
Of the funk of the rhythm
All the goods are welcome
But if you're a villaing
I'll just wait and debate
Contemplate your arrival
If flexing is your motive
Then you don't like survival
The Abstract is speaking
The hard beats is reaching
The Black and Puerto Ricans
'Cuz their butt naked
Streaking through the ever murky streets
Of the urbanized areas
Blasting out the speakers is the hip hop hysteria
Craig is in the house
Pete Rock is in the house
CL is in the house
Ultra Mag is in the house
Nice and Smooth is in the house
Big Daddy Kane is in the house
Beatnuts is in the house
Special Ed is in the house
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
This one goes out to my man
Thanks a lot Ron Carter on the bass
Yes my man Ron Carter is on the bass
Now check it out
Born into the 91decade
You gotta say the Quest is on
And goddamn it
Yes the Quest is on
And the Quest is on we
