[00:20.153]Verse 1: Q-Tip
[00:21.777]I'm just a brotherman, descendant of the motherland
[00:23.801]I **** with blackberries and dimes and butter tens
[00:26.241]Good on my right and trouble on my other hand
[00:28.553]Life is a tight rope I'm dyin' the balance in
[00:31.129]And by the end hopefully I be the balance-man
[00:33.529]A simple dude who can exude the talents and
[00:35.905]I am the captain of the hot blooded caravan
[00:38.257]Spread in a different look to charred and battered lands
[00:40.633]It's outta function I see girls that can top it off
[00:43.057]I hold mines while these cowboys pop it off
[00:45.490]You just a movie-dude claimin' that you pop-soft
[00:47.833]This shit's like cold grits without the hot sauce
[00:50.234]This government seems to me like it's off course
[00:52.513]Hook: Q-Tip
[00:53.521]Come on, come on, let's move! And get down (like it's off course)
[00:58.136]Come on, come on, let's move! (This government) and get down

[01:14.529]But in the long run, you really lost one
[01:16.913]Jamaica, Queens, man, land of the tossed gun
[01:19.337]It's never easy, po-lice not sees we
[01:21.762]Go through the checkpoints birds flip to po nine
[01:24.041]I got a bad bird nicknamed her sunshine
[01:26.569]I treats her so kind sweetening her at nighttime
[01:28.809]Into the right tunes we hit the right rhymes
[01:31.289]I dig her fashion smash into my memory
[01:33.673]And in the club shorty stays real into me
[01:36.184]A humble dude and never will pretend to be
[01:38.529]The type of artist that's desired for the industry
[01:41.056]Came in this ****a me and I'm a leave me
[01:43.257]And in the end B you would believe me that I'm a leave me
[01:45.722]So what's a industry if the listeners will always stand beside me?
[01:50.889]Hook: Q-Tip

[02:17.874]Here we come yo, here we come
[02:20.257]Here we come yo, here we come
[02:22.665]Here we come yo, here we come
[02:50.485]Verse 1
[02:51.773]Gather around, the Renaissance man has finally appeared
[02:54.295]And I'm astonishing rap characters are cause of the tears
[02:56.774]Quasimodo and the quotables excrete from my mouth
[02:59.279]And no doubt, we rubbed you wrong and rubbin you out
[03:01.991]To try to tackle such a problem is a foolish goal
[03:04.479]And when the opposition's Abstract, bless your soul
[03:06.839]There are degrees of MCs but none on the level
[03:09.502]Of the other vocalist, precious like metal
[03:12.103]Makin all my rounds through the towns like physician
[03:14.790]I be curing impure emcees, plagued with disease
[03:17.631]So take a spoonful of Poet Penicillin and
[03:19.615]Sit back and listen to your man as I fill it in the Renaissance..
[03:24.030]R-r-rap, Renaissance...
[03:26.575]This is the Renaissance..
[03:28.974]This is the Renaissance..
[03:30.446]Verse 2
[03:31.734]So here we go, now
[03:32.653]It is the Midnight Marauder on the scene
[03:34.542]Geographically earthed in a place called Queens
[03:37.134]I was formed with my principles, way I displayed
[03:39.486]How I used to MC where all the other kids played
[03:41.975]Cause I was way too ill, so I would hone my skill
[03:44.439]And go out in the park and let my chemicals spill
[03:47.079]Right there, on Farmers Boulevard, I made my mark
[03:49.622]Two dudes, niggas would dip from us, me, and NARCS
[03:52.126]And then my, legend would grow on the A-train line
[03:54.526]Where brothers would gather to see me blowin nicks and dimes
[03:57.094]It was me, Big, Pete, Tanya, and Sir Ibu
[03:59.528]And the heat of the cipher, I was not libel
[04:02.150]From all the casualties of the dutty MCs
[04:04.782]I split the train car like Moses did the Red Sea
[04:07.271]So get it in ya head, we gon' rock the dead
[04:09.846]Night of the living MCs', the weak ones fled
[04:12.335]And the stage is the pulpit, Renaissance won't quit
[04:14.702]We gon' baptize y'all for your benefit
[04:17.318]We been aligned and assigned to change
[04:19.903]Rearrange all your molecules like Dr. Strange
[04:22.190]Making cultures move, if you disapprove
[04:24.696]You can keep loudmouthin, ain't gon bust a groove
[04:27.143]You see the object of the game is we don't see it as one
[04:29.838]We don't quit, bullshit, and we never lost, son
[04:32.240]Deeper than the oceans and expand like air
[04:34.894]We be vast indeed and if your hearing's impaired
[04:37.406]We got the perfect remedy for you tonight
[04:39.822]Just put your ear to it, it's like dynamite
[04:42.134]And it's the Renaissance Rap

[05:12.415]The promoter of the flyness, witness wit iris
[05:15.183]Of this lame and he came, but I'm the royal highness
[05:17.750]Don't'cha ever forget, who put the pep in ya step
[05:20.167]We made it cool to wear medallions and say hotep
[05:22.527]And this beat is suh'thin that you can't recover up from
