Scenario Lyrics

Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario?
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario?

Ayo, Bo knows this (what?) and Bo knows that (what?)
But Bo don't know jack, 'cause Bo can't rap
Well, what do you know, the Di-Dawg, is first up to bat
No batteries included, and no strings attached
No holds barred, no time for move faking
Gots to get the loot so I can bring home the bacon
Brothers front, they say the Tribe can't flow
But we've been known to do the impossible like Broadway Joe so
Sleep if you want NyQuil will help you get your Z's, troop
But here's the real scoop
I'm all that and then some, short, dark and handsome
Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from
I'm vexed, fuming, I've had it up to here
My days of paying dues are over, acknowledge me as in there (yeah)
Head for the border, go get a taco
Watch me wreck it from the jump street, meaning from the get-go
Sit back relax and let yourself go
Don't sweat what you heard, but act like you know

Yes, yes, y'all (yes, y'all)
Who got the vibe? It's the Tribe, y'all (Tribe, y'all)
Real live, y'all (live, y'all)
Inside, outside, come around
(Who's that?) Brown
Some may, I say, call me Charlie
The word is the herb and I'm deep like Bob Marley
Lay back on the payback, evolve rotate the gates
(Contact) Can I get a hit? (Hit)
Boom-bip with a brother named Tip and we're ready to flip
East coast stomping, ripping and romping
New York, North Cak-a-laka, and Compton
Checka-checka-check it out
The loops for the troops, more bounce to the ounce
And wow how now, wow how now brown cow
We're ill 'til the skill gets down
For the flex, next, it's the textbook old to the new
But the rest are doo-doo
From radio, to the video, to Arsenio
Tell me, yo, what's the scenario?

(True blue) Scooby Doo, whoopie doo
Scenarios, radios, rates more than four
Scores for the smores that smother dance floors
Now I go for mine, shades of sea shore
Ship-shape plush Grape Apes to play tapes
Papes make drakes baked for the wakes
Of an L, an E-ADER, simply just a leader
Bass inner space means peace see ya later
Later (later), later alligator
Pop blows the weasel and the herb's the inflator
So yo the D what the O, incorporate I-N-C into a flow
Funk flipped flat back first this foul, fight, fight, fight
Laugh yo, how'd that sound? (ooh)

It's a Leader Quest mission and we got the goods here (here)
Never on the left 'cause my right's my good ear (ear)
I could give a damn about a ill subliminal
Stay away from crime so I ain't no criminal
I love my young nation, groovy sensation
No time for hibernation, only elation
Don't ever try to test, the water little kid
Yo Mr. Busta Rhymes, tell him what I did

I heard you rushed and rushed, and attacked
Then they rebuked ,then you had to smack
Causing rambunction throughout the sphere
Raise the levels of the boom inside the ear

You know I did it
So don't violate or you'll get violated
The hip-hop sound is well agitated
Won't ever waste no time on the played out ego
So here's Busta Rhymes with the scenario

Watch, as I combine all the juice from the mind
Heel up, wheel up, bring it back, come rewind
Powerful impact, boom, from the cannon
Not bragging, try to read my mind ,just imagine
Vocabulary's necessary
When digging into my library
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh
Eating Ital Stew like the one Peter Tosh
Uh, uh, uh, all over the track, man
Uh, pardon me, uh, as I come back
As I did it, yo, I heard you beg your pardon
When I travel through the town, I roll with the squadron
"Raow, raow," like a dungeon dragon
Change your little drawers 'cause your pants are sagging
Try to step to this, I will twist you in a turban
And have you smelling ripe like some old stale urine
Chickity-choco, the chocolate chicken
The rear cock diesel, butt cheeks they were kicking
Yo, bust it out before the Busta bust another rhyme
The rhythm is in sync (uh) the rhymes are on time (time)
Rippin' up the sound just like Horatio
Observe the vibe and check out the scenario

Here we go, yo, here we go, yo (yeah, my man, motherfucker) (yo, yo)
So what, so what so what's the scenario? (check it)
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo (check-check it, check-check it)
So what, so what, so what's the scenario?
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario?
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
So what, so what, so what's the scenario?

What is the Meaning of Scenario?

Ladies and gents, buckle up as we delve into a lyrical labyrinth that is nothing short of a hip-hop masterclass. A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario" is an audacious exhibition of raw talent, where each verse is a verbal boxing match with words being the punches. The lyrics are laced with bravado, challenging other MCs while celebrating their own prowess. The song also serves as a time capsule for 1992, touching on contemporary pop culture references and the state of hip-hop at the time. It's like a graffiti mural in audio form - vibrant, rebellious and unapologetically bold. So whether you're an old-school aficionado or just dipping your toes in the rap game, this track is quite the 'scenario' to dissect! #HipHopClassic #Lyricism #90sRap #ATribeCalledQuest
