Q-Tip
Promo No. 2 (Mind Review ’89)
[Intro]
Aw, yeah, hahaha
How y'all doin'? Everybody alright?
Yeah, that's real good (Uh-huh)
Remember me? Haha, I'm that guy
Hairy Jungle Brother, hahahaha

[Verse 1]
Now I'm squattin', squattin' on my tree top
Watchin' as the Baby Bam beat rocks
Now more people are knowin' (Knowin')
Why the mighty Tribe is growin' (Growin')
As the vibe from the Tribe keeps glowin' (Glowin')
The wind from the bass keeps blowin' (Blowin')
In time, in time, rememberin' that rhyme
Just a little somethin' to tickle your mind
Now that I got your mind workin'
Yeah, how the J Beez workin'?
Jungle Brothers on the run, makin' babies
A Tribe Called Quest, first birth of the J Beez

[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
Promo number one, Q-Tip had a fade
Promo number two, Q-Tip rocks braids
Ask Mike G about society
I said in time, yo, behind we'll see
Ali Shaheed, Jarobi and Phife
Up with the Arks cause the Ankhs means life
I'm poppin' straight up so you can take the toll
From the J Beez to De La Soul
Now there's a Tribe that's comin'
Brothers on the street hum along with the beat
And repeat that pattern I summoned
Is it comin', is it comin'?
Indeed, indeed, it's funky and groovy
But Q-Tip, do you really think it will move me?
To El Segundo and back, hon
New funk is here, so come get some
Don't stump your hump, come bump your rump
To the rip-diddy-dip-dip rhythm (Yeah)
[Interlude]
Right about now I'd like to take out these few seconds
To say what's up to my sound system
Uncle Sam, you alright? You alright? Alright
Kick— Kick— Kick— Kick—
Kick this, kick this

[Verse 3]
Some folks wanna know what goes on
Some don't like the way the J Beez carry on
What's up with you, brother? Yeah, you, Black
The one with the red-gold-green applejack
Baby Bam, I chose the name
I don't want the fame I just wanna play the game
Beads around my wrist and around my ankle
You bought my record, so now I thank you
Now it's time for me to resurrect
I've got to move on and take the next step
Raise my soul from out the graveyard
Take my rap to another backyard
Use my mind to do somethin' new
Somethin' that your crew never thought to do
God up above, won't you help me
To gather my people in unity?
The new year's here, so I'ma start like this
Everybody raise your right first
C'mon, let me hear you say, "Yeah" (Yeah), c'mon, y'all
Say, "Oh yeah" (Oh yeah), c'mon
[Outro]
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's comin', it's comin'
It's comin', it's comin'
It's comin', it's comin'
It's comin', it's comin', uh
It's comin', it's comin'
It's comin', it's comin'
It's comin', it's comin'
Cool DJ Red Alert (Yeah)
Peace
