[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip]
I caught the ill vibe, Tip! Word, Bus? Yo, yo' word
The ill vibe, Tip! Yo, word, Bus? Yo, yo' word (Uh)
'Cause when I'm in the place, you know my shit be absurd✦
I caught the ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word
The ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? What the word?
So when I hold the mic, you know my shit be absurd✦
I caught the ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word
[Interlude: Q-Tip]
Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
I got weight on my shoulders in deformin' this beat
Ain't nothin'✦ sweet, on the street for good deeds I compete✦
Kamaal complete✦ and unique✦ so get back in your stance
We enhance✦ and we're playin' the whole world circumstance✦
So do good in your hood even✦ though you puff lye
Positive to comply,✦ don't screw face and act rah
Progress, don't fall back, we can't have that
I'll hold your hand, Black, we can't wind up with scratch
I put my best foot forward, way I play in life
'Cause this world is bound to get you like a double-edged knife
In the jam we regulate,✦ 'cause we organize
Logically thinkin' with Allah's enterprise
A lot of brothers from the ghetto✦ (Uh) got the gift to gab (Uh)
Peace to the West Coast, in the East, we fab', oh
Need I make mention that the crew we've got
Make things get hot like the .44 shot? (Blaow)
No, we don't promote no guns but don't turn that cheek
In the world that we live kindness is viewed✦ as weak
So we gotta✦ stay on point for all these lizards and snakes✦
Some of them come as friends, some of them come as Jakes✦
We decipher all the frauds and build grounds with our friends
(Why's that?) So we can live right until time ends
(Yo, why's that?) Amalgamate,✦ so we can get these ends
(Yo, true that) Busta✦ and Tip, you know we make minds bend
[Chorus: Q-Tip & Busta Rhymes]
I caught the ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word (Ha!)
The ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word (Ha!)
Yo, when I hold my mic, you know my shit be absurd✦ (Yo, yo-yo)
I caught that ill vibe, Tip! Yo, word, Bus? Yo, yo' word
That ill vibe, Tip! Say word? Yo, yo' word
'Cause when I'm in the place, you know my shit be absurd!✦
I caught the ill vibe (Ha), Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word (Ha!)
The ill vibe, Bus! Word, Tip? Yo, yo' word (Ha!)
Yo, when we in the jam, you know the shit be absurd✦
I caught that wild shit, Tip! Word, Bus? Yo, yo' word
That ill vibe, Tip! Say word? Yo, yo' word!
'Cause when I'm in the place (Uh), you know my shit be absurd!✦
