intro(fading in): Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting,
drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting by, totally. Drifting
by(just)totally. Drifting by(just)totally
Q-Tip:
The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning
We always hittin, so yo, there'll be no extra innings
As I send the mic out the park like Reggie Jackson
You be the minor leaguer who sees no action
The coming attraction(what!)
The main feature
And I'ma greet ya, like a rhymin ass creature
Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts
The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start
And that's me Akki, as long as the ladies move they bodies
We'll have a four-on-two stand
Cuz that happens to be the nature of man
Sexuality, it is the format baby
Ain't no ifs, no buts, no ands, or maybes
But I praise Lord in the worlds that's unseen
Respect me for that and let me do my thing(just)
I said, respect me for that and let me do my thing
Chorus:
(Drifting by)You know we gotta get a hold
(totally) Over the illest drum rolls
(totally drifting by just...)
Yo, how you doin? Let me give you an intro
My name's the Abstract, now let me give you some info
Got the diamond in the back, and the sunroof shit
That makes the hardcore MCs resort to being bitch
And I don't give a shit about being wild rich
Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it
Your lust for the riches make a nigga feel sick
Down to his zealots, upchuck and then spit
Denouncin my beliefs, well then your wig get split
Lay your ego on the ground so that you'll benefit
You can take these words and relay it to your click
Take some time for your mind and get off them head trips
The Tribe is the crew that makes your mics get lit
Like the Fourth of July on some firework shit
My record company be on some true jerk shit
But that's i-ight. Now, I'm on some true work shit
And I'mCome now to the edge of the road
You can see them all crowdin' around
Soon they'll come in and come up here
Let them find an effigy
But they'll never find me
Head man I live to see you roll away
They'll never ever ever find me
They'll never ever ever find me
Headman, walking, right in front of me
Don't you, look in, I'm not here you see
Deadman told me where I am to hide
Said he's waitin' there, where it's all
Even...
You can feel them coming
Up through your heels
Outside misconstrued, the search continues
The hidden afraid are never betrayed
by the already found and taken away
Oh and in a different place
The hands that hold your face
Are only trying only tryin' to keep you warm
They'll never ever ever find me
They'll never ever ever find me
Headman, walking, right in front of me
Don't you, look in, I'm not here you see
Deadman told me where I am to hide
Said he's waitin' there, where its all
Even...
Walk on, will we, walk on
With our heads to the wall
Let them find that they'll never find us all
Hey I wanted a life less hidden
They wanted a life, but I'll never give them
Part of me...
Part of me...
I will save my right
So hard to the ground
'Til we all lay down
'Til we lay ourselves down
