QTip

Can you picture how a melody gets thought into existence?

Rhythm section hits it and upholds it with persistence

Picturing the outline and you start to see the colours

Filling it with intricate splashes by all the brothers

Michelle is on the joint, you mean Misindae Gayochello?

No wonder why the hump inside the joint is feeling ghetto

A medal or award should be given to these heros for their

efforts of revealing and bringing forth the feeling

I'm realing, poetic I say, a great proportion,

I hold my little nuances correct for this distortion.

But I say, why say? and who is to say, coz

Roy makes the tune what it is today.

Rhythmically, we in the slake of jeans, know what I mean?

Its only right that me and Mr Right we hail from Queens

The overtone of funk is being driven by the students

The benevolence of Roy issued me this juris-prudince

This beat, or rhymes put it in a hipper term and (?)

Im just a humble little germ, just a hipper version

Poetic I mean truly indeed her every seed

Just sprinkles with the essense of life to form my breed

Think about sweety while we give this to the needy

The musical expression is important for progression

Never stop learning lesson, and neither should y'all

Before we all stand, must acknowledge a fall

Before we get the bounce we got to reach for the ball

Before we ghetto stroll had to get to a crawl

Check it out now, and dont you dare

Bobby Timmers did a joint called That there

Check it out now, and do your do

Ronny Foster did a joint called Mr Brew

Check it out now, its how we go

Check it out with my man Roy Hargrove - der der

Erykah

Hey (echoed)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

Welcome to the Appletree Cafe

Its getting real cribable on stage

I dunno, I got my man QTip

Cut me a few dollars tip

I dont know how comes god doubted you

Sheeez, She will be, remember, completely

Blast the staff furniture, so

rip dip in the house & zip dip hahh

Who knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

Who knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

Who knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

Who knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

What is lost? my head is running things

Where to go, and where is God?

Sometimes I get real mad, but I understand

I dont beat myself up too much about it

I give us tears, does he mourn for it?

Or joy in return? Those tears bring joy

That is what perplexes, make the sweetness last

Coz we're mourning for the joy, their hard to find

Be happy where you can, no sadness necessary,

No, no, it seems sometimes, you never get in bed

but its ok, its fair, yeah, ooooh

Nowhere to look, you got the mysteries

Use the stars as a guide, trying not to hide

The love inside, you know, if you give.. you get

I feel, I'm not ready yet, but I meet myself halfway

And I'll start a day, creating what i'm.. living

Living for today, coz I'm ok, its ok

Whos knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

Whos knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go

Whos knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

Whos knows the way to go?

Please show me the way to go

I know the way to go

I'll show you the way to go.
