[00:00:00] Excursions - The Low End Theory

[00:00:01] Written by：Q-Tip

[00:00:10] Back in the days when I was a teenager

[00:00:13] Before I had status and before I had a pager

[00:00:15] You could find the abstract listening to hip hop

[00:00:18] My pops used to say it reminded him of bebop

[00:00:20] I said well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles

[00:00:23] Way that bobby brown is just amping like michael

[00:00:25] It's all expected things are for the looking

[00:00:28] If you got the money quest is for the booking

[00:00:30] Come on everybody let's get with the fly mode

[00:00:33] Still got room on the truckload of black boom

[00:00:35] Listen to the rhymes then get a mental picture

[00:00:38] Of this black man and black woman fixture

[00:00:40] Why do I say that cos I gotta speak the truth man

[00:00:43] Doing what we feel for the music is the proof and

[00:00:45] Planted on the ground the act is so together

[00:00:48] Bona fide strong you need leverage to sever

[00:00:50] The unit yes the unit yes the unit called the jazz is

[00:00:53] Delivering each year an lp filled with street goods

[00:00:55] You can find it on your rack in your record store

[00:00:58] If you get the record say your thoughts are adored

[00:01:00] And appreciated cos we're ever so glad we made it

[00:01:03] We work hard so we gotta thank god

[00:01:05] Dishing out the plastic do the dance till you're spastic

[00:01:08] If you diss it gets drastic

[00:01:10] Listen to the rhyme cos it's time to make gravy

[00:01:13] If it moves your booty then shake shake it baby

[00:01:15] All the way to africa aka the motherland

[00:01:18] Stick out the left then I'll ask for the other hand

[00:01:21] That's the right hand black man

[00:01:23] Only if you are noted as my man

[00:01:26] If I get the credit then I think I deserve it

[00:01:28] If you fake moves don't fix your mouth to word it

[00:01:31] Get in the zone of positivity not negativity

[00:01:33] Cos we gotta strive for longevity

[00:01:35] If you botch up what's in that a**

[00:01:38] What a pair of nikes size ten and a half

[00:01:42] We gotta make moves

[00:01:43] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:01:47] We gotta make moves

[00:01:48] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:01:51] We gotta make moves

[00:01:53] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:01:57] We gotta make moves

[00:01:58] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:02:02] Time time is a ship on a merciless sea

[00:02:05] Drifting toward an average of nothingness

[00:02:08] Until it can be retarded for its own destiny

[00:02:10] Time is an inanimate object

[00:02:13] Praying and praying and praying with no justification for relief

[00:02:16] Time is dancing boogalooing away all memories of past

[00:02:21] We gotta be a winner all the time

[00:02:23] Can't fall prey to a hip hop crime

[00:02:25] With the d**e raps and d**e tracks we move blocks

[00:02:27] From the fly girlies to the hardest of the rocks

[00:02:30] Musically the quest is on the rise

[00:02:32] We on these excursions so you must realize

[00:02:35] That continually I pop my zulu sh*t

[00:02:38] If you don't like it get off the zulu tip

[00:02:40] So what can you do in the times which exist

[00:02:42] You can't fake moves on your brother or your sis

[00:02:45] But if your sis is a b**ch brother is a jerk

[00:02:48] Leave 'em both alone and continue with your work

[00:02:50] Whatever it may be in today's society

[00:02:52] Everything is fair least that's how it seems to me

[00:02:55] You must be honest and true to the next

[00:02:57] Don't be phony and expect one not to flex

[00:03:00] Especially if you rhyme you have to live by the pen

[00:03:03] Your man is your man then treat him like your friend

[00:03:06] All it is is the code of the streets

[00:03:07] So listen to the knowledge being dropped over beats

[00:03:10] Beats that are hard beats that are funky

[00:03:12] They could get you hooked like a crackhead junkie

[00:03:15] What you gotta do is know the tribe is in the sphere

[00:03:17] The abstract poet prominent like shakespeare

[00:03:20] Or edgar allan poe or langston hughes

[00:03:27] We gotta make moves

[00:03:28] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:03:32] We gotta make moves

[00:03:33] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:03:37] We gotta make moves

[00:03:38] Never ever ever could we fake moves come on come on

[00:03:41] Time is running out on black power advocates in the day

[00:03:43] And white thigh supporters at night

[00:03:45] Every time you see them they're chasing some white woman

[00:03:47] With their tongue hanging out

[00:03:49] Time is running and passing passing and running

[00:03:51] Running and passing passing and running
