Renaissance Rap (remix) Lyrics - Q-tip

Gather around, the Renissance man has finally appeared 

And I'm astonishing rap characters are cause of the tears 

Quasimodo and the quotables excrete from my mouth 

And no doubt, we rubbed you wrong and rubbin you out 

To try to tackle such a problem is a foolish goal 

And when the opposition's Abstract, bless your soul 

They are the reason MCs but none on the level 

Other you're the vocalist, precious like metal 

Makin all my rounds through the towns like physician 

I be curing inpure emcees, plagued with disease 

So take a spoonful of Poet Penicillin and 

Sit back and listen to your man as I fill it in the Renaissance... 

R-r-rap, Renaissance... 

This is the Renaissance... 

This is the Renaissance...

... So here we go, now 

It is the +Midnight Maurader+ on the scene 

Geographically earthed in a place called Queens 

I was formed with my principles, way I displayed 

When I used to MC where all the other kids played 

'Cause I was way too I'll, so I would hone my skill 

And go out in the park and let my chemicals spill 

Right there, on Farmers Boulevard, I made my mark 

Two dudes, niggas would dip from us, me, and NARCS 

And then my, legend would grow on the A-train line 

Where brothers would gather to see me blowin nicks and dimes 

It was me, Big, Pete, Tanya, and Sir- 

And the heat of the cipher, I was not libel 

From all the casualties of the dutty MCs' 

I split the train car like Moses did the Red Sea 

Get it in ya head, we gon' rock the dead 

Night of the living MCs', the weak ones fled 

And the stage is the pulpit, Renaissance won't quit 

We gon' baptize y'all for your benefit 

We been aligned and assigned to change 

Rearrange all your molecules like Dr. Strange 

Making cultures move, if you disapprove 

You can keep loudmouthin, it won't bust a groove 

You see the object of the game is we don't see it as one 

We don't quit, bullshit, and we never lost, son 

Deeper than the oceans and expand like air 

We be vast indeed and if your hearing's impaired 

We got the perfect remedy for you tonight 

Just put your ear to it, it's like dynamite 

And it's the Renaissance... Rap 

Photos 

Uh, uh, it's the Renaissance... 

It is the Renaissance 

Uh... 'cause it's the Renaissance 

It's the Renaissance... Rap 

It is the Renaissance Rap... 

Now lookin at ya clock, you know that it's time 

To hear real I'll beats combinated with rhymes 

Brought to you by the person at the T-O-P 

That be G-O-D, and I be T-I-P 

The promoter of the flyness, witness with iris 

Of this lame and he came, but I'm the royal highness 

Don't'cha ever forget, who put the pep in ya step 

We made it cool to wear medallions and say hotep 

And this beat is suh'thin that you can't recover up from 

You better a-joinin the force because we can't be done 

Listen, we on this mission and it's a go 

So welcome to the Renaissance in stereo 

It's the Renaissance
