Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][F][G]
[Gm][F][F][G]

[Chorus 1]
We on a [G]world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
New [Gm]York, NJ, [F]NC, [G]VA
We on a world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
Oak[Gm]town LA, [F]San Fran, St. [G]John

[Verse 1]
[G]People give your ears, [A]so I be sublime
It's en[F]joyable to know you [G]and the concubine
[Gm]Niggas, take off your coats
[F]ladies, act like gems
Sit down, Indian style,
as [G]we recite these hymns
See, lyrically, I'm Mari[A]o Andretti on the MOMO
[F]Ludicrously speedy,
[G]or infectious with the slow-mo
[Gm]Heard me in the eighties, [F]JB's on the promo
In my never-ending quest
to [G]get the paper on the caper
But [Fm]now, let me take it to the Queens side
[Em]I'm taking it to Brooklyn side
All the [Ebm]residential Questers to invade the way
Hold [Dm]up a second son, 'cause we almost there
You can [Fm]be a black man and lose all your soul
You can [Em]be white and groove
but don't crap the roll
See my [Ebm]shit is universal,
if you got knowledge of dolo
Of [Dm]delf for self, see there's no one else
Who can [G]drop it on the [A]angle, acute at that
So, [F]do that, do that,
[G]do that that that (come on)
[Gm]Do that, do that,
[F]do do that that that (okay)
Do that, do that, [G]do do that that that
I'm bugging out, so let me get back
[A]'cause I'm wettin' niggas
So [F]run and tell the others
[G]'cause we are the brothas
I learned [Gm]how to build mics
[F]in my workshop class
So give me this award,
and [G]let's not make it the last

[Chorus 2]
We on a [G]world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
China[Gm]town Spokane, [F]London, [G]Tokyo
We on a world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
Hous[Gm]ton Delaware, [F]DC, [G]Dallas

[Verse 2]
[G]Back in '89, I [A]simply slid into place
[F]Buddy, buddy, buddy [G]all up in your face
A lot of [Gm]kids was busting rhymes
[F]but they had no taste
Some said Quest was wack,
[G]but now is that the case?
I have a quest to [A]have a mic in my hand
Without [F]that, it's like
[G]Kryptonite and Superman
[Gm]So, Shaheed come[F] in with the sugar cuts
Phife Dawg's my name,
but [G]on stage, call me Dynomutt
[Fm]When was the last time
you heard the Phifer sloppy
[Em]Lyrics anonymous, you'll never hear me copy
[Ebm]Top notch baby, never coming less
Sky's the [Dm]limit,
you gots to believe up in Quest
[Fm]Sit back, relax, get up out the path
If not [Em]that, here's the dance floor,
come move that ass
[Ebm]Non-believers, you can check the steps
I [Dm]roll with Shaheed and the brother Abstract
[G]Niggas know the time
[A]when Quest is in the jam
I [F]never let a statue [G]tell me how nice I am
[Gm]Coming with more hits
[F]than the Braves and the Yankees
Living mad phat [G]like an over sized mampi
The wackest crews [A]try to diss,
it makes me laugh
When my [F]track record's longer
[G]than a DC-20 aircraft
[Gm]So, next time that[F] you think
you want something here
Make something deffer,
[G]take that garbage to St. ...

[Chorus 3]
We on a [G]world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
S.[Gm]C., Maryland, [F]New Orleans, M[G]otown
We on a world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
China[Gm]town Spokane, [F]London, [G]Tokyo
We on a world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
Hous[Gm]ton Delaware, [F]DC, [G]Dallas
We on a world tour [A]with Muhammad, my man
Going [F]each and every place
[G]with the mic in their hand
New [Gm]York, NJ, [F]N.C., [G]VA
