Dance On Glass - Q-Tip

The people at the label say they want something to repeat

But all my people really want something for the streets

So keep hookin', hey y’all what’s goin' on?

So keep hookin', it’s time your word is bond

So keep hookin', let’s do what we must do

So keep hookin', ah, ah, let’s hear for

Keep, keep

Who can make it up?

Dark ages here in rap

And the constant conversation has been, let’s bring it back

Corny rap style niggas, they lack the pedigree

Deep waters they be in when they are just the manatee

Who me?

I am unaffected, the whale, the hammerhead

The magnanimous decision, unanimous, I am fed

What chu lookin' at?

Wait, I can help you with that

The formidable, unforgettable paintin' abstract

On the wall amongst them all from Tucson Michelle

A commodity, hot property, hears the mornin' bell

Guantanamo bay in niggas deferrin' routs

You soliloquies are trash inferrin' that you got clout

Homie, what’s that about?

You should revisit your scheme

Before the scheme it seems real, it reverts back to a dream

Into that pea head of yours you ain’t commandin' no tours

You seein' fee per diem, we seein' that in the doors

Plus a little bit more because she choosin' the prettiest

Thou while it’s wittiest on the low we the grittiest

Takin' the task, these barbaric insurgents

Who nursery rhyme niggas and play like they are crime figures

Man, what could give you such a naive belief?

There’s examples all around of careers bein' brief

The Luke Cage of the loose leaf page

Run and hide, comin out in the yard, bonafied to be hard

So keep hookin', keep hookin',

Keep hookin', keep hookin'

Keep, keep

So keep hookin', keep hookin'

Keep hookin', keep hookin'

Keep, keep

As if we readin' pressure’s higher, we should all be that inspired

To just lift it and take it higher, peep the name that’s on the flyer

Midnight Marauder, low end theoretical

Ringtone rappers rockin' shades are forgettable

Phantom of the rap world boo, yo you puss in boots

Energy’s electric who’s lookin' for a love recruit

High definition for the fortunate you to view

Challenges with riches, we will put you on strict review

Time to turn the tide around, comin' with the tribal sound

Brandishin' these microphones, we outlaws in the town

Corruption in the fool pit, we witness the jam

Acquisition of materials, the evil of man

Trickles down to MC’s, we combat the disease

With the good and hardy measurement, a real rap sediment

Degenerate genes and your body’s the host

You need to open up wide, while we give you the douse

Gather round, gather round, gather round

It’s the hottest thing

Gather round, gather round

Gather round, it’s the hottest thing

Gather round

It’s the hottest
