[Verse 1: Q-Tip & Ali Shaheed Muhammad]
People, give your ears, so I be sublime
It's enjoyable to know you and the concubines
Niggas, take off your coats, ladies, act like gems
Sit down Indian style as we recite these hymns
See, lyrically I'm Mario Andretti on the MOMO
Ludicrously speedy or infectious with the slow-mo
Heard me in the '80s, J.B.s on "The Promo"
In my never-endin' quest to get the paper on the caper
But now, let me take it to the Queens side
I'm takin' it to Brooklyn side
All the residential Questers who invade the air
Hold up a second, son, 'cause we almost there
You can be a Black man and lose all your soul
You can be white and groove, but don't crap the roll
See my shit is universal if you got knowledge of dolo
Or delf or self, see there's no one else
Who can drop it on the angle, acute at that
So who that, do that, do-do that, that, that (Come on)
Who that, do that, do-do that, that, that (Yeah, okay)
Do that, do that, do-do that, that, that
I'm buggin' out, but let me get back, 'cause I'm wettin' niggas
So run and tell the others, 'cause we are the brothers
I learned how to build mics in my workshop class
So give me this award and let's not make it the last

[Chorus: Trugoy the Dove & Q-Tip]
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
Chinatown, Spokane, London, Tokyo (Right, true)
(Right, true)
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
Houston, Delaware, DC, Dallas (Right, true)
(Right, true)

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

[Chorus: Trugoy the Dove & Q-Tip]
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
SC, Maryland, New Orleans, Motown (Right, true)
(Right, true)
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
Chinatown, Spokane, London, Tokyo (Right, true)
(Right, true)
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
Houston, Delaware, DC, Dallas (Right, true)
(Right, true)
We on a world tour with Muhammad, my man (Right, true)
Goin' each and every place with the mic in their hand (Right, true)
New York, NJ, NC, VA (Right, true)

[Outro: Midnight Marauder Program (Laura Dunn)]
Seven times out of ten, we listen to our music at night
Thus spawned the title of this program
The word maraud means to loot
In this case, we maraud for ears
