"Scenario" (1992)
A Tribe Called Quest and the Leaders of the New School
Chorus:
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,
Verse One: Phife Dawg
Ey yo, Bo knows this (what?) and Bo knows that (what?)
But Bo don't know jack, cause Bo can't rap,
So whaddaya 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, my crew 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 we is in there(YEAH)
Head for the border, go get a taco,
I'll be wreckin from the jump street, meaning from the get-go,
Sit back relax and let yourself go,
Don't sweat what you heard, and act like you know,
Verse Two: Charlie Brown
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??) Broowwwwwwwwn!
Some may, I say, call me Charlie,
The word is the herb and I'm deep like Bob Marley,
Layback on the payback, revolve and rotate the gates? CONTACT!
Can I get a hit? (HIT!)
Boom bit with a brother named Tip and we're ready to flip,
East coast stompin', rippin', and rompin'
New York, North Cack-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 till the skill gets down,
For the flex, next, it's the textbook old to the new,
but the rest are doo-doo,
From radio, to the video, to Arsenio,
Tell me! Yo, what's the scenario.
Verse Three: Dinco D
(True blue!) Scooby Doo, whoopie doo,
Scenario's radio, rates more than four,
Scores for the snores that smother dancefloors,
Now I go for mine, shave the seashore,
Ship-shape crushed Grapes Apes that play tapes,
Papes make drakes baked for the wakes,
of an L-ah, An E-ah, simply just a leader,
bass in his face means peace see ya later,
Later? (LATER!) Later alligator,
Pop goes the weasel and the herb's the inflater,
So yo the D "what?!" the O, incorporated I-N-C into a flow,
Funk flipped flat back first fist foul fight fight fight,
Laugh yo how's that sound (ohhhhhh!)
Verse Four: Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes
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 sensation,
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,
And raised 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 agitated,
Won't ever waste no time on the played out ego,
So here's Busta Rhymes with the, Scenario,
Verse Five: Busta Rhymes
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, try to read my mind just imagine,
Vo-cab-u-lary's necessary,
When diggin into my library,
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!,
Eating ITAL stew like the one Peter Tosh-a,
UH uh UH, all over the track, man,
UH, pardon me, UH, as I come back
As I did it yo I had to beg your pardon,
When I travel deep i always roll with the squadron,
ROOAAAW!, ROAAAW!, like a dungeon dragon!,
Change your little drawers cause your pants are saggin!,
Try to step to this and get twisted like a turban,
And have u smelling stank, like some old stale urine,
Chickity-choco, the chocolate chicken,
The rear cockdiesel, but chicks they were kicking
Yo, bustin out before the Busta bust a nut the rhythm is really in sync (UHH!) the rhymes are on time (TIME!)
Rippin up the sound just like a radio,
Observe the rhyme and check out the scenario!!
[chorus starts]yea my man, mothufcuku'
