Glamour and Glitz

Glamour And Glitz - A Tribe Called Quest

Written by：Norman Land

Yup yup yup

To the North to the South to the East to the West

I don't discriminate boy I bring it to your chest

If you oppose then your soul will decompose

Strive to get money and I'm not no hoe

Fresher than the air that you're breathing through your nose

Fuller than the kicks that you're puttin on your toes

You can ask Bo but yo that ni**a don't know

About the dominant factor the accurate rapper

Here's the next chapter page ninety five

Niggaz so hard it's a wonder they alive

But yo we still survive through the danger that lurks

My eyes remain wide while you ask like Urk

And yo my family matters so all you mad hatters

Put your thinking caps on and motherf**kin brainstorm

'Cause I got the plan that wins and can't lose

Your man knows who's nice say Tip he'll say True

A lot of these jokers out here is blase

I'll be rockin mikes until a horse says hey

Some are preoccupied with glamour and glitz

Actin all boogee and making big movies

But I'll be in the cut call me Incognito

Busy makin joints that will bump for my people

You're listening to a man who was something for nothing

Stay in me forever head never be frontin

Once in a while we have fun in the mix

Never ever

In to good living but some be into glitz true dat

Everybody knew all the fellas and the chicks trigga e

Gotta wear a shoe that fits

Once in a while we have fun in the mix

Never ever

In to good living but some be into glitz true dat

Everybody knew all the fellas and the chicks trigga e

Gotta wear a shoe that fits

C'mon word check it out now you out there

Uh uh check it out now you out there

What uh check it out now louder louder

Louder louder uh check it out yo

Peace to the girl named Hurricane G

Peace to my girl named Dawn Paris

Peace to the Organzied Konfusion

Peace to all my shorties that be dying too young

Peace to both coasts and the land in between

Peace to your man if you're doing your thing

Peace to my peoples who was incarcerated

Asalaam alaikum means peace don't debate it

Devouring and towering over fools

Your mic is broke and my sh*t's cool

The black man with the understandin of

The three wise men and the theories of Zen

Yo I get inside the crevice like a dentist

Disrupt the block like Dennis the Menace

Shaheed is on the needle the sh*t it won't weeble

Or wobble your rhymes is mixed up like boggle

Bingo That was the d*mn dog's name

But yo I know another one with much more fame

The Phife Dawg and that's my word to the cipher

About to bring it to your chest and

'Cause strife check it out

You're doubling back to your rhyming pad

What I represent is MC's gone mad

In a perfect world there's imperfect acts

We've come like a God to redirect alla that

So people with a gift can just flaunt and get money

So much we in the bank that the sh*t ain't funny

Money is invested in real estate and stocks

But not inside the glamour 'cuz all of that stops

Yo dis the Cons to the Quence

Up in ya like a stiff one knowhatimean

It's nine five you got to live it or rip it

So if you step on the streets keep it movin knowhatImean

Once in a while we have fun in the mix

In to good living but some be into glitz

Everybody knew all the fellas and the chicks

Gotta wear a shoe that fits

Once in a while we have fun in the mix

In to good living but some be into glitz

Everybody knew all the fellas and the chicks

Gotta wear a shoe that fits

C'mon
