intro(fading in):
   Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting,
   drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting by, totally. Drifting
   by(just)totally. Drifting by(just)totally
  
   Q-Tip:
   The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning
   We always hittin, so yo, there'll be no extra innings
   As I send the mic out the park like Reggie Jackson
   You be the minor leaguer who sees no action
   The coming attraction(what!)
   The main feature
   And I'ma greet ya, like a rhymin ass creature
   Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts
   The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start
   And that's me Akki, as long as the ladies move they bodies
   We'll have a four-on-two stand
   Cuz that happens to be the nature of man
   Sexuality, it is the format baby
   Ain't no ifs, no buts, no ands, or maybes
   But I praise Lord in the worlds that's unseen
   Respect me for that and let me do my thing(just)
   I said, respect me for that and let me do my thing
  
   Chorus:
   (Drifting by)You know we gotta get a hold
   (totally) Over the illest drum rolls
   (totally drifting by just...)
  
   Yo, how you doin? Let me give you an intro
   My name's the Abstract, now let me give you some info
   Got the diamond in the back, and the sunroof shit
   That makes the hardcore MCs resort to being bitch
   And I don't give a shit about being wild rich
   Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it
   Your lust for the riches make a nigga feel sick
   Down to his zealots, upchuck and then spit
   Denouncin my beliefs, well then your wig get split
   Lay your ego on the ground so that you'll benefit
   You can take these words and relay it to your click
   Take some time for your mind and get off them head trips
   The Tribe is the crew that makes your mics get lit
   Like the Fourth of July on some firework shit
   My record company be on some true jerk shit
   But that's i-ight. Now, I'm on some true work shit
   And I'ma make it happen for my whole outfit
  
   Chorus:
   (Drifting by)You know we got to get control
   (totally)Over the illest drum rolls
   (totally drifting by just...)Third verse
  
   A-yo, we just gettin started
   Got to redirect this vision
   Got the beauty of a flower
   Plus dimensions like a prism
   Your minds are locked down like prison
   Y'all really need to go lay down
   Cuz positivity has risen
   We hittin
   Yo bust how we too strong to be broken
   Occasional malfunction pressure time
   We ain't jokin
   For security we on this run like Logan
   Kamaal's doin the hustle
   And you backstage voguin
   We all got flaws
   Don't ever try to think that you perfect
   We all are human beings
   There's bullshit at the surface
   Sometimes, I mean we rhyme
   Damn, we ain't prophets
   And if you think so, you need to stop it
   So jump back inside your shell
   Let your million dollar thoughts propel
   But next man don't get jel
   Playa hate that all carries weight
   That we don't need
   We slim with disabilities and
   Thick with possibilities
   Cuz then you can't move with fertility
   Navigatin with good visibility
   We put these tunes out in record shop facilities
   Let's strive to get this constant money activity
   We try to stay on the scene like Fidel
   So if you get enraged with these names it still rebels
   There ain't no plan B's
   Yo watch, we movin through with plan A
   Money market doin things the right way
  
   Chorus:
   (Totally)You know we got to get control
   (Drifting by, just)Over the illest drum roll
   (Totally drifting by just...)(x3)
   (Totally just(x2), Drifting by(x2) in background)
   Yo bust it out section, section.
   Section Linden Boulevard
   Section on Merrick
   Section the whole Jamaica
   Section on Flushing
   Section in Bed-Stiduy
