Rap Promoter - A Tribe Called Quest

To the effect of nothing, effective fronting

Is what I don’t allow so let me tell you something

I am a bonafide

Not too modest and not a lot of pride

Soon to have a ride and a home to reside

If my mama is sick I’m by her bedside

Used to watch the show on Channel 4 called Riptide

Wash my wears in Tide cause it’s too damn cold out-tide

That’s how the runnings go

If there ain’t no dough then there ain’t no show

So take your roly poly fat promoter (ass)

To the Chemical Bank, and get my cash

If you wanna see the people scream and laugh

You best Quest, you ask the Quest, you ask real fast

Cause I don’t wanna see 'em, start bucking

Throwing chairs in the air while you be ducking

What what?

Don’t step to me with that

If you promoting a show make sure it ain’t wack

Or else I’m leaving («Let me tell you»)

I’m leaving («Let me tell you»)

I’m leaving («Let me tell you»)

Your wack show

Yo man what’s up with that?

Yo don’t sweat me

C’mon, five hundred, that was the deal

C’mon man, don’t try to play me out

We don’t need you, sorry!

And the Abstract rapper says

I want chicken and orange juice, that’s what’s on my rider

And my occasional potato by Ore-Ida

Don’t forget my pastry make sure they’re tasty

I’m not the type to be pushy or hasty

See I’m the type of bro that’s reared in the ghetto

Took a few shorts before

Now the only ones I take are the ones that I wear

Ain’t taking no shorts no more, now

Please act proper 'fore I call the CrimeStoppers

Don’t dip on the dough, cause that’s a no-no

Make sure you count your money real slow

Be alert, look alive, and act like you know

It’s, the 90s, time to make moves

Not, the 80s, do away witcha womb

So what?

You got a crew

I got one too, they’re called the Brooklyn Zu

Don’t break fool, let’s be reserved and cool

We don’t have to act like we in grade school

Just make sure that we’re taken care of

And we’ll do a fly show for ya bub, check it out

Diggy dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy

Dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy

Dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy

Dang diggy dang gi-dang gi-dang diggy diggy
