Pad & Pen - A Tribe Called Quest F/ D-Life

[D-Life] 
This is the master D-Life 
as we set it off with my mans A Tribe Called Quest 
And uhh, we got to do it like this baby 
We got to do it like that baby 
We got the good shit not the bullshit, yaknahmean? Ha hah 
We bout to count it down, we bout to count it off 
It goes a-one, two, three, ahh! 

[Q-Tip] 
Malik we gettin back into that shit again 
And when we rhyme, brothers need to break they pens, uh-oh 
It's The Love Movement never ends 
The rap game'll never be the same again 
(Phife Dawg where you at baby?) We came again 

[Phife Dawg] 
Here I come again, you feelin fine? 
The Dawg is like a overflowin rhyme from mind 
Usually mess with shorties whose a 8 or 9 
Shorty bump around to the bass-line 

[Q-Tip] 
F keeps a burner on the waist-line 
That cat's trickin off, I ain't wastin mine 
You feel the uniqueness, you seekin this? 
And when we do it, we be freakin this 

[Phife Dawg] 
Don't even front, you know you feelin this 
My shade is borderin around licorice (licorice) 
Enjoyin this tune, glad you playin it 
(Aiyyo Phife what's the hook?) 
Here we sayin it, SAYIN IT, SAYIN IT 

Chorus: with D-Life 

My pad and my pen (ah ah, you didn't go there) 
The beat and the blend (say word, you didn't go there) 
The party won't end (you know, we got to be there) 
Just keep your ?, buildin with friends, yo 
* repeat 2X w/ variations * 

[Q-Tip] 
We're down for life with one destiny 
It seems that the devil keeps testin me 
Got the illest part of the recipe 
Yo tell your homegirl to stop stressin me (stop it) 
Undressin me is the part you really like 
Brothers hold the cracks now they holdin mics 
The cusses you get, ? steady rights 
For writers, we did that shit at Mid-night, a-ah-aight-aight 

[Phife Dawg] 
I love it when my honeydip be slobbin me 
Don't take it personal it's just comedy 
My comedy completely turned to tragedy 
I sense some of these rappers still be mad at me 
Sweatin her because of her anatomy 
When I bang you it'll be assault and battery 
Don't make me discombobulate your micraphone 
Talkin trash will only get you freakin head, flown 

[Q-Tip] 
Uhh, buy em out the box, never faulty ones 
Get in that ass like karate son 
I act with the light, sometimes it's lookin grim 
We manage a smile, sometimes we slip it in 

[Phife Dawg] 
My Tribe be worldwide like the Nike swoosh 
Emcees be soundin moist like vagina juice 
The top of the world, we pursuin it 
Don't worry about a thing, cause we doin it 
DOIN IT, DOIN IT 

Chorus 2X 

[D-Life] 
That's the way we do.. c'mon, that's the way we do 
It's the nigga D-Life, with T-C-Q 
That's the way we are.. and the beat won't stop 
Got to blow it up for the top.. 
Didn't think you knew how we rock..
