   Linden Boulevard represent, represent
   Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
   When the mic is in my hand, I'm never hesitant
   My favourite jam back in the day was Eric B. for President
  
   Rude boy composer
   Step to me you're over
   Brothers wanna flex
   Youre not Mad Cobra
   MC short and black
   There aint no other
   Trini-born black like Mia Longs grandmother
   Tip and Sha they all that, Phife-Dawg ditto
   Honey tell your man to chill, or else you'll be a widow
   Did not you know that my styles are top-dollar?
   The Five-Foot Assassin knockin fleas off his collar
   Hip-hop scholar since bein knee-high to a duck
   The height of Mugsy Bogues, complexion of a hockey puck
   You better ask somebody on how we flip the script
   Come to a Tribe show and watch the three kids rip
  
   [Q-Tip]
   Queens is in the house represent, represent
   A Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
   No tamin of the style cuz it gets irreverent
   A Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
  
   Huh-huh, here we go
   You know that I'm the rebel
   Throwin out the wicked like God did the Devil
   Funky like your grandpas drawers, dont test me
   We in like that, youre dead like Presley
   When we comin through get tickets to see me
   We work for the paper so therell never be a preemie
   Lyrics are abundant cuz we got it by the mass
   Egos are all idle cuz the music is the task
   Valenzuela on the pitch, curveball, catch it
   I think I got it locked, just smooth while I latch it
   Right
   Now I must move with the quickness
   Here comes Shaheed so we must bear the witness
  
   Chorus
  
   Stir It Up x3
   Steve Biko
  
   Stir It Up x3
   Steve Biko
  
   Verse 2
  
   [Phife]
   New York City represent, represent
   A Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
   The Dawg is scientific with the styles I invent
   A Tribe Called Quest represent, represent
  
   MCs like to meddle, but heres my proposition
   I let my lyrics flow, and jumped your whole position
   I'm radical with this like the man this song is after
   Yo Tip settle down, whats the reason for the laughter?
  
   [Q-Tip]
   I really cant say, I guess I laugh to keep from cryin
   So much goin on, people killin, people dyin
   But I wont dwell on that, I think I'll elevate my mental
   Thanks for these bars on the Biko instrumental
  
   [Phife]
   Yo I take it back, Im the Indian giver
   MCs take notes as I stand and deliver
   Percussion isnt less, D's wear the vest
   While they dodgin bullets, you should be dodgin Quest
   Dont get me wrong, violence is not our forte
   I just like to rhyme, kick the lyric skills like Pele
   Tip educateem, my rhymes are strictly taboo
   Fill em with some fantasies and I'll look out like Tattoo
  
   [Q-Tip]
  
   Okay
   I am recognizing that the voice inside my head
   is urging me to be myself but never follow someone else
   Because opinions are like voices
   we all have a different kind
   So just clean out all of your ears
   these are my views and you will find that
   we revolutionize over the kick and the snare
   The ghetto vocalist is on a state-wide tear
   Soon to be the continent and then the freakin globe
   Theres room for it all as we mingle at the ball
   We welcome competion cuz it doesnt make one lazy or worn
   We gotta work hard, you know the damn card
   Try to be the fattest is the level that we strive
   Try to be the fattest also to stay alive
