cuz itand's inside the body and the hearts
so here we are fam letand's start, cand'mon...
Chorus:

get it off your chest, say it: andquot;tribe called quest!andquot;
can you feel it when it hit right
can you feel it when we do it
truth, power, taste, devour
niggaz in the street here comes the illest beat now
move oceans witand' your mental
think it, do it, be it, embellish

when ski busts his tools all yaand'll foes will embellish
for somethinand' wicked at yaand'll faces

hey i got you with that goooooood stuff
and ya probably wonand't get enough

funky, rhythmic, characteristic
ebonically lingustic witand' the ghetto futuristic
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay....
Chorus (2x)
Beat me in the head, donand't beat me in the head
donand't beat me in the head, donand't beat me in the head
