[Q-Tip]
One-two, one-two, keep it on
Listen to the s–t because we kick it ’til dawn
Listen to the Abstract, got it going on
Listen to the ladies, come on and let me spawn
On your eggs, then you go up the river
Listen to the abstract, that freaky n—a

[Ad Rock]
Now I’m Ad Rock and I shock and I tick and I tock
And I can’t stop with the body rock

[Mike D]
See, I’ve got heart like John Starks
Hitting mad sparks
Pass me the mic and I’ll be rockin’ the whole park

[MCA]
Well, I’m the M to the C to the A and it’s a must
The rhymes that we bust on the topic of lust

[Q-Tip]
And my Moms is not butt, but f–k it
Let me get down to the rhythm
Yes, I get funky and I’m shooting all my jism
Like John Holmes, the X-rated n—-r
Listen to the s–t cause I am the ill figure
Nobody’s getting any bigger than this

*Get it together*
Get…
Phone is ringing, oh my God
*Get it together, see what’s happening*
