The Riot

[Chorus: Q-Tip]
Can I kick it? — Yes, you can! [×7]
Well, I'm gone. — Go on then!

[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
Can I kick it? To all the people who can Quest like a Tribe does,
Before this did you really know what live was?
Comprehend to the track, for it's why, cuz,
Gettin' measures on the tip of the vibers,
Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz,
Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug,
If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug.
Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug,
Afrocentric living is a big shrug,
A life filled with fun, that's what I love,
A lower plateau is what we're above,
If you diss us, we won't even think of,
Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?
This rhythm really fits like a snug glove,
Like a box of positives it's a plus love,
As the Tribe flies high like a dove.

[Chorus: Phife Dawg]
Can I kick it? — Yes, you can! [×7]
Well, I'm gone. — Go on then!

[Verse 2: Phife Dawg]
Can I kick it? To my Tribe that flows in layers,
Right now Phife is a poem-sayer,
At times I'm a studio conveyor.
Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor?
You'll be doin' us a really big favor.
Boy, this track really has a lot of flavor,
When it comes to rhythms, Quest is your savior.
Follow us for the funky behavior,
Make a note on the rhythm we gave ya,
Feel free, drop your pants, jack your yay-ha,
Do you like the garments that we wear?
I instruct you to be the obeyer
A rhythm recipe that you'll savor,
Doesn't matter if you're minor or major,
Yes, the Tribe of the game, we're a player
As you inhale like a breath of fresh air.
