A Tribe Called Quest

Whateva Will Be

Girl, this motherf*cker's got rhythm

Say am I 'posed to be dead or doin' life in prison?

Just another dummy caught up in the system

Unruly hooligan who belongs in Spofford

Verse getting that degree at Stanford or Harvard

Threatened by my work ethic, the way I speak, yo

Should I be mentally weak, verse being Malik? Yo

Should I be trapped in the trap? Would you prefer that?

Fourth grade reading level but he knows how to rap

Are you amused by our struggles? The English that's broken?

The weed that I'm smokin'? The guns that I'm totin'?

The drugs that I'm sellin'? No need for improvement

f*ck you and who you think I should be, forward movement

Melanated shrouded in complexity

Brain charge shocking like 'lectricity

Mouth translate happens organically

The media relates it what it thinks it sees

Judging steps in shoes of a path they never walked

Shot down in a blaze of a phrases is how they talk

Dark skinned, walk with a bot portrayed villain

I'm chillin', felon down to the DNA crime willin'

Subliminate their youth, hyper-sexualize their women

They ain't got the strong enough hold, so they built the prisons

Pumping false religions to all of these niggas' systems

Every voice devoid of the truth

Come on, listen

Man look at this, man look at this

Whatever will be will be

Like a billionaire investin' in a nigga's dreams

Certainly a head scratcher, like Pac and Big's killers' capture

Or a women with the wisdom who's leadin' the way

The rarity is in the rear, but never today

Man, picture a PD lettin' good records play

On the strength of what it is, not the finesse of your biz

And your lady calls you dirty, her dirts under rugs

You'll find out only if she tells you, take her kiss and hug, cuz

In the answer for cancer in a prodigious kid's mind

Yes, the government will fund, learning is free for everyone

And from that lie, young leaders will rise

In the eyes of despair and adversity

In some universe, this verse will be true

Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'

But whatever's gonna be will be

Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'

But whatever's gonna be will be

Some will dash to the mountain, some will crawl

And the weakest amongst them, they will fall

But the strongest in faith, they will stand tall

Everybody runnin' when they see the storm's comin'

But whatever's gonna be will be

I just wanna feel as liberated as lions in Liberia

'Cause recently my heart turned cold as Siberia

'Cause everywhere I go, bein' cold is the criteria

Let's see how well you know all your Tribe trivia

Green and the white, we servin' that Nigeria

North side of Queens, one-nine-two is the area

This is for my dawgs from Shih Tzus to Terriers

f*ck it, it's showtime, Tip, make sure they hearing you
