Word Play lyrics

Q-tip:
One, two, whatcha wanna do
Three, four, cuz were gonna give you more
Five, six, and we aint the tricks

Nine, ten, cuz we make it blend
Eleven, twelve, never ever goin for self

Q-tip:
Power. people really get caught with this on different levels
Power controls your life
Money. the companion of the first. some people tend to worship
And we know this aint right.

Attitude(attitude) is how I get my point across.
You cant call yourself an mc if you know that youre soft.
Agressive...is how the stage is approached. I burn mcs like toast
Cuz Im the host with the most.

Illin(illin) is what you do when youre assin.
Whether it be you or all up in your past and...
Cashin...done turned your people corrupt
Its six oclock, girl, you gotta get your weight up

Q-tip:
Sex(sex). either a man or a woman.
This agenda, but when lovers get down

Knowledge. when the mind accept facts
On this plane of livin, knowledge be the key, black

When shit be real, cant give understanding back

Phife:

Ego. Im on my own jock skill
Cuz if I dont say Im the best, tell me who the hell will
