(Intro)
Microphone check, 1, 2, what is this? It’s that Tribe Called Quest shit so let’s get with this, get ‘em

(Hook - Q-Tip & Kid Pharaoh) x2
Listenin’ to these lyrics when it’s hot will make you burn baby burn baby burn
(Burn it up, burn it up, let’s burn this place up now)

(Verse 1 - Kid Pharaoh)

Now lemme take you back to 1991
Where the rhymes were def and the beats were straight drums
Knockin’ all up in the speakers up in the fine city
When that Low End dropped, Tribe rockin’ the Daishiki’s
Ya boy was not on Earth until 1997
I Gotta do my research up on the Golden Era
That’s why you hear the drums breakin’ shakin’ the room
And the bass funks it up all up on the same tune now
Back when Cool J was rockin’ a Kangol
And your radio to shoulder was on a right angle
Just play this shit, ain’t gotta tell them dudes that we hot
That funkadelic rhythm, pump up your Reebok’s
Now now, they call me Pharaoh, so peep the Native Tongue
Like the Sun God Ra shine with my rays of sun
When I drop the needle on ‘em, they retire
And imma keep flowing just light my fire baby

(Hook) x4

(Verse 2 - Hau)

You really wanna see the triple OG just cripple those beats
They flipped in 03 without lifting a knee
I run it 100 because I’m really from that era
The Tongan terrorist, putting bombs in lens
Blowing up the spot, I strut like, “what is up?”
N.W.A. with the way I say, “fuck the cops”
I’m Scarface, over guitar space, drums and horn sections
Now I’m chillin’ from Town Villain down to Launceston
My 45 acres, avengerous & treacherous, Naughty By Nature
Was the leader of the new school, but now I’ve left ‘em to the work force
Givin’ work experience, to these new dudes and the who’s who of rap now
I’m that now, that’s found chillin’ in the background
I’m cut from a cloth of the pioneers that’s why I’m here to my final years, I keep it burnin’

(Hook) x4

(Bridge - Kid Pharaoh & Hau)

Ay Hau should we take it back?
(Yeah man let’s take ‘em back Kid)
You ready?
(Yeah boi!)

Can I kick it?
(Yes you can)
Can I kick it?
(Yes you can)
Can I kick it?
(Yes you can)
Well I’m gone

Yes, yeah man, it ain’t about old school or new school, we still don’t play by no school rules
(Old school, new school, no school rules)
Your rule book has officially been burnt up
