Artist: A Tribe Called Quest f/ Katia Cadet Album: We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service Song: Lost Somebody Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Intro: Q-Tip] Yeah Phife! For your life! [Verse One: Q-Tip] Now in the time when niggas wasn't supposed to be born Best of us are left for dead, in cities that looks war torn Vietnam goin' wrong, heroin goin' strong Neighbors that would whoop that bad ass just for runnin' through their lawn Walt met Cheryl, Cheryl met Walt Trinidadian love sproutin' through the asphalt Love was consummated and the angels registrated Two were to be born but only one of 'em made it Inside a cloud of sorrow a silver lining and joy It's a bouncing baby boy a king's name they would employ And before he even squeaks, it's decided it's Malik Now give him hope, give him care, raise him while his grandma there Watch out mama if you stare light brown eyes'll keep you there Let's progress the story just a little bit Malik, I would treat you like little brother that would give you fits Sometimes overbearing though I thought it was for your benefit Despite all the spats and shits and ematically documented The one thing I appreciate you and I we never pretended Rhymes we would write it out, hard times fight it out Gave grace face to face, made it right And now you riding out, out, out, out, damn [Chorus: Katia Cadet Have you ever? (My mu'fuckin man!!!) lost somebody? (Phife Dawg man!!!) Way before you (Bow wow woof woof) got to dream? [Verse Two: Jarobi] (Katia Cadet) (*Q-Tip) Never thought that I would be ever writin' this song (No more crying) Hold friends tight, never know when those people are gone (He's in sunshine) So, so beautiful (Uh!) opined indisputable (Yeah!) Heart of a largest lion trapped inside the little dude Took me quick to granny house, now we eat the curry food Talking hopes, dreams, plans, leak ice, never scared Brand new pair of Nike Airs, avenue upstairs (Come on!) Mailbox mayors, all our rhymes was written there A nigga wanna battle you know Phifey didn't care Jarobi with the beat, into new ass we tear (Whattup?) I'm a flash forward well, took a trip to ATL Cookin' in the kitchen makin' sure my nigga eatin' well Wedding in Tobago you know exactly where I'm at Standin' on the side of black Malik Izaak [Chorus: Katia Cadet] Have you ever? lost somebody? Way before you? got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever? lost somebody? Way before you? got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever? lost somebody? Way before you? got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever? lost somebody? Way before you? got to dream? No more crying.... [Outro: Jack White playing guitar]
