Verse one: q-tip
Yup yup yup
to the north to the south to the east to the west
i donand't discriminate boy i bring it to your chest
if you oppose, then your soul will decompose
strive to get money and iand'm not no hoe
fresher than the air that youand're breathing through your nose
fuller than the kicks that youand're puttin on your toes
you can ask bo but yo that nigga donand't know
about the dominant factor the accurate rapper
hereand's the next chapter, page ninety-five
niggaz so hard itand's a wonder they alive
but yo we still survive through the danger that lurks
my eyes remain wide while you ask like urk
and yo my family matters, so all you mad hatters
put your thinking caps on and motherfuckin brainstorm
cause i got the plan that wins and canand't lose
your man knows whoand's nice say tip heand'll say andquot;trueandquot;
a lot of these jokers out here is blase
iand'll be rockin mikes until a horse says hey
some are preoccupied with glamour and glitz
actin all boogee and making big movies
but iand'll be in the cut call me incognito
busy makin joints that will bump for my people
youand're listening to a man who was something for nothing
stay in me forever head, never be frontin
Chorus: repeat 2x

Peace to the girl named hurricane g
peace to my girl named dawn paris
peace to the organzied kon-fus-ion
peace to all my shorties that be dying too young
peace to both coasts and the land in between
peace to your man if youand're doing your thing
peace to my peoples who was incarcerated
asalaam alaikum means peace, donand't debate it
devouring, and towering over fools
your mic is broke and my shitand's cool
the black man with the understandin of
the three wise men and the theories of zen
yo i get inside the crevice like a dentist
disrupt, the block, like dennis, the menace
shaheed is on the needle, the shit it wonand't weeble
or wobble, your rhymes is mixed up like boggle
bingo! that was the damn dogand's name
but yo i know another one with much more fame
the phife dawg, and thatand's my word to the cipher
about to bring it to your chest and cause strife check it out
youand're doubling back, to your rhyming pad
what i represent is mcand's gone mad
in a perfect world thereand's imperfect acts
weand've come like a god to redirect alla that
so people with a gift can just flaunt and get money
so much, we in the bank that the shit ainand't funny
money is invested in real estate and stocks
but not inside the glamour cuz all of that stops
Outro: consequence
Yo dis the cons to the quence
up in ya like a stiff one, knowhatimean?
itand's nine-five, you got to live it or rip it
so if you step on the streets keep it movin, knowhatimean?
Chorus
