Scenario

A Tribe Called Quest
feat. Leaders of the New School

The Low End Theory (1991)

here we go, yo
here we go, yo
so what so what so what's the scenario?
here we go, yo
here we go, yo
so what so what so what's the scenario?

ayo bo knows this (what?)
and bo knows that (what?)
but bo don't know jack
'cause bo can't rap
well, what do you know?
the di-dawg is first up to bat
no batteries included
and no strings attached
no holds barred
no time for move-fakin'
gots to get the loot so i can bring home the bacon
brothers front
they say the tribe can't flow
but we've been known to do the impossible like broadway joe, so
sleep if you want, nytol will help you get your z's, troop
but here's the real scoop
i'm all that and then some
short, dark, and handsome
bust a nut inside your eye to show you where i come from
i'm vexed, fumin'
i've had it up to here
my days of payin' dues are over
acknowledge me as in there (yeah!)
head for the border, go get a taco
watch me wreck it from the jump street, meaning from the get-go
sit back, relax, and let yourself go
don't sweat what you heard
but act like you know

yes yes, y'all (yes, y'all!)
who got the vibe? it's the tribe, y'all (tribe, y'all!)
real live, y'all (live y'all!)
inside, outside, come around
(who's that?) brooowwnnn!
so may i say, call me charlie
the word is the herb and i'm deep like bob marley
layback on the payback
evolve, rotate the gates
contact!
can i get a hit?
(hit!) boom bip
with a brother named tip and we're ready to flip
east coast stompin'
rippin' and rompin'
new york, north cak-a-laka, and compton
checka checka check it out
the loops for the troops, more bounce to the ounce and
wow how now wow, how now brown cow
we're ill 'til the skill gets down
for the flex, next
it's the textbook old to the new but the rest are doodoo
from radio to the video to arsenio, tell me
yo, what's the scenario?

(true blue!)
scooby doo, whoopie doo
scenarios, radios, rates more than four
scores for the smores that smother dance floors
now i go for mine, shapes of sea shore
ship shape, crushed grapes, apes that play tapes
papes make drakes baked for the wakes
of an L-ah!, an -eader!
simply just a leader
base in the space means peace, see you later
later (later!) later alligator
pop blows the weasel and the urge to inflate her
so yo, the d, what, the o incorporated i-n-c into a flow
funk flipped, flat back, first this foul fight, fight, fight, laugh, yo, how'd that sound? (ooh!)

it's a leader-quest mission and we got the goods here (here!)
never on the left 'cause my right's my good ear (ear!)
i could give a damn about a ill subliminal
stay away from crime so i ain't no criminal!
i love my young nation
groovy senation
no time for hibernation
only elation
don't ever try to test
the water, little kid
yo, mr. busta rhymes
tell 'em what i did

i heard you rushed and rushed
and attacked
then they rebuked and you
had to smack
causin' rambunction
throughout the sphere
raise the levels of the boom
inside the ear

you know i did it
so don't violate or you'll get violated
the hip hop sound is well agiatetd
won't ever waste no time on a played out ego
so here's busta rhymes with the scenario:

watch
as i combine all the juice from the mind
heel up, wheel up, bring it back, come rewind
powerful impact (boom!) from the cannon
not braggin'
tryna read my mind, just imagine
vo-cab-u
-lary's necessary
when diggin' in-to
my library
oh my gosh! oh my gosh!
eatin' ital stew like the one peter tosh, uh
ugh, ugh, ugh! all over the track, man, ugh!
pardon me, ugh! as i come back
as i did it, yo i had to beg your pardon
when i travel through the town i roll with the squadron
rah, rah! like a dungeon dragon
change your little drawers 'cause your pants are saggin'
try to step to this, i will
twist you in a turban
and have you smellin' rank
like some old stale urine
chickity choco, the chocolate chicken
the rear cock diesel, buttcheeks, they were kickin'
yo bust it out before the busta bust another rhyme, the rhythm is in sync (uh!)
the rhymes are on time (time)
rippin' up the sound just like horatio
observe the vibe and check out the scenario

here we go, yo
here we go, yo
so what so what so what's the scenario?
here we go, yo
here we go, yo
so what so what so what's the scenario?
here we go, yo
here we go, yo
so what so what so what's the scenario?
here we go, yo
