Q-tip Chorus or "Hook":

Hey y'all, we is havin' a ball

And you know they ask me to get on the MIC

And they ask me Can I kick it? Word yes you can

Can I kick it? Yes you can

[repeats}

Well I'm gone, gone

Can I kick it?

To all the people who can

Quest like A Tribe does

Before this, did you really know what live was?

Comprehend to the track, for it's why cuz

Gettin measures on the tip of the vibers

Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz

Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug

If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug

Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug

Afrocentric living is a big shrug

A life filled with fun that's what I love

A lower plateau is what we're above

If you diss us, we won't even think of

Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?

This rhythm really fits like a snug glove

Like a box of positives it's a plus, love

As the Tribe flies high like a dove

Verse 2: Phife Dawg

Can I kick it? To my Tribe that flows in layers

Right now, Phife is a poem sayer

At times, I'm a studio conveyor

Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor?

You'll be doing us a really big favor

Boy this track really has a lot of flavor

When it comes to rhythms, Quest is your savior

Follow us for the funky behavior

Make a note on the rhythm we gave ya

Feel free, drop your pants, check your ha-ir

Do you like the garments that we wear?

I instruct you to be the obeyer

A rhythm recipe that you'll savor

Doesn't matter if you're minor or major

Yes, the Tribe of the game we're a player

As you inhale like a breath of fresh air

(Can I kick it?)
