Verses from the Abstract Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I had a [G]dream about my man last night
And my man came by the studio
[Am]And his name[G] is
Busta Rhymes in effect,
Shaheed is in effect
Phife Did-awg is in effect
Check it out and give me my [C]'spect[D]

[Verse 2]
I'm [G]moving, yes I'm grooving
cause my mouth is on the motor
Use the Coast in the [Am]morning
to avoid the funky odor
[G]Can't help being funky,
I'm the funky Abstract brother
Funky in a [C]sense,
but I [D]play the undercover
Once had a [G]fetish, fetish for some booty
Now I'm getting funky and my rapping,
that's my duty
Brothers tend to jock on the
style in particular
If you got the [Bm]ego like some b[C]rothers,
then I'll get with ya
But [G]if I don't pursue,
then I just don't give a (fuck)
My motto in the 90's is be
[Am]happy making bucks
[Em]Girls love the [G]Jim,
'cause it causes crazy friction
When it goes up in and [D]fluctuates the diction
I [G]still understand the oomph
'cause that's what I met her for
I'm hooked on the [D]swings,
so just [G]call me the music [Am]whore
[G]Women love the voice,
brothers dig the lyrics
Quest the people's choice,
we [D]thrive it for the spirit
If you can't [G]hear it,
then get the wax utensils
Write my rhymes straight up,
don't get [Am]with no fancy stencils
The rhymes we get is [G]sweet,
we stay away from tart
Our perfection is at [D]work, perking up the art
[G]If you want to battle,
I suggest you check your clock
Your demise is coming [D]up and I
[C]want your man to [Am]watch
[Em]Be the prime [G]ex ample,
I deep instilled the sample
Insignific[D]ance,
here I'll place you on the [G]mantle
Born up in Harlem,
reside down in Jamaica
The girl I used to rock,
her moms was a [Am]Quaker
Now [G]what does that make her?
The evil money taker?
The [D]crazy move faker,
I used [G]that to break her

[Verse 3]
Phife is in the house (ooh, you know you got going on)
[G]
Uncle Mike is in the house (this ain't
a R&B song)
Bob Power is in the house (you got
it going on)
Tim Latham is in the [C]house
(and on and on and on)
Wise [G]Men is in the house
The Brand Nubs [C]is in the [G]house (on)
The J Beez, they in the house
And De La, they in the [C]house

[Verse 4]
I [Am]must regroup my [G]thoughts and kick the
next ones for my people
[D]Please don't be deceived by the
[G]ugly slice of [Am]evil
The world is kinda [G]cold and the
[Am]rhythm is my [Em]blanket
[G]Wrap yourself [C]up in it, if you [D]love
it, then you'll thank it
Don't [G]move to rebuttal,
wave your hand for action
Some [Am]ladies in the '90's want
more than satisfaction
They want [Em]keys and Gs,
an[G]d all those illy things
If [D]you want to, I'll show you,
just [G]what the Ab can [Am]bring
I keep a tight [G]net with my
brothers Ken and Kenny
If the question is of rhymes,
then I'll [D]tell ya, I got plenty
The thing that men and [G]women need
to do is stick together
Progressions can't be made
if we're separate forever
I [Em]hooked this funky beat with the
[G]loop and the [Bm]feature
[G]With the funky singing [C]by Miss Vinia Mojica
So [Em]listen because the [G]Quest is led
through the underground
My people been up on [D]Quest to long, no
more will we be [Am]down
People tend to [G]riff 'cause they
don't know the [D]mental
[G]People tend to [Bm]bug 'cause their [C]beats
are hard [Em]but gentle
[G]Africano lurks through the body
of this youngin'
Play like Bobby Byrd on your
[D]back and your coming to
The [G]house of the jazz,
of the funk, of the rhythm
All the goods are welcome,
but if you're a [Am]vil lain
I'll just [G]wait and debate,
contemplate your arrival
If [D]flexing is your motive,
then you don't like survival
The Abstract is [G]speaking,
the hard beats is reaching
The Black and Puerto Ricans
'Cause their [Am]butt naked,
streakin' through the [Em]ever murky [G]streets
Of the [Bm]urbanized areas
[G]Blastin' out the speakers
is the hip hop [Am]hys teria

[Verse 5]
[G]Craig is in the house (ooh, you know you
got going on)
Pete Rock [C]is in the house
(this ain't a R&B song)
[Am]Cl i[G]s in the house (you got
it going on)
Ultra Mag [C]is in the [D]house (and on
and on and on)
Nice and [G]Smooth is in the house
Big Daddy Kane is in the house
Beatnuts is in the house
Special Ed is in [Am]the house

[Verse 6]
[Em]Yeah[D]
This one goes out to my man
Thanks a lot Ron [Em]Carter [G]on the bass
[Am]Yes my m[D]an Ron Carter is on the bass
Now check [G]it out
Born into the '91 dec[D]ade
Up in until the 2000 dec[G]ade
You gotta say the Quest is [Bm]on
[G]And goddamn it, yes the Quest is on
And we out
