The Pressure lyrics translation: A TRIBE CALLED QUEST The Pressure song texte and letras A TRIBE CALLED QUEST The Pressure tab, paroles and testo A TRIBE CALLED QUEST The Pressure Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
In this american metropolis filled with mc`s
A tribe called quest came to drop jewels wit` ease
Plus make you party, we do this music thing for everybody
Black, white, latino and asian, we cold raisin`
The stakes of hip-hop to a new plateau
To bridge gaps in generations for future plantations
A god-fearin` folk cos we all from the yolk
Of one breed, one seed, to good goals we proceed
Nowadays i strive to be a very good influence
Even though not too long ago i was a truant
Now i`m droppin` it on this and many broad topics
From man`s obsession with money to holy prophets
Like mohammed, yo, you know the scene is so freaky
Enemies they denounce me and my own try to sweep me
Now i got hip-hop acts posin` like fat cats
Lex and a rolex, moet and a top hat
But what about your contract, slick? is you proper?
It`s time we turned the tables of this hip-hop fable
I be strivin yo`, tryna bang these joints out my skillet
And fulfil it, think about these kids, we can`t kill it
[phife]
Now every dog has his day, but eff that, it`s my year
All you gat pullin` mc`s could never come near
All that bogus type chatter, please put it to rest
It`s the phifer from quest leavin` venues a mess
So i even start to (rap) when you know you have no (haps)
Wit` your simpleton (lyrics), your light-hearted (act)
Step back, me no have no time for dat
I`m blowin` up the spot for all you ras clot idi-ots
In a world where you have like a zillion mc`s
Ninety percent of all you suckers have filthy lps
Bitch this, trick that, come on, act like you know
I be that up north mc who never chose to play the down-low
(his name is phife dawg) i label myself as the boss (true dat)
Same height as little vicious, yet i`m shorter than kriss kross
Queens representation, son, you know how we do
While light` and sha, they represent bk to the fullest
I be the sidekick to the abstract, so get ready for combat
Yo, what about about them biters? errr! me not like that
My motto is to wreck shop, i do it on the non-stop
Come on party people, you must give me my props
Cos y`all know good and damn well that the style has been mastered
So head for the border you peasy-haired bastards
Before i start to put it on ya, come on now, must i warn ya?
Queens is in the house so all mc`s go hold their corner

Gotta gotta stand clear of the pressure
