[Intro]

(Q-Tip)

I don't care who first or who last
I just know y'all better rock this at the drop of a dime, baby
I don't care what y'all say or what y'all do
But ya got to be finished before the music is through
I don't think y'all heard me, hold up

(Q-Tip)

So here we go now, it be the Midnight Marauder on the scene
Geographically earthed in a place called Queens
I perform with my principles, way I display
When I used to cool out, while all the other kids played
Cuz I was way too ill, I would hone my skill
Go out in the park and let my chemicals spill
Right there, on Farmers Boulevard, I made my mark
Two dudes, brothers would dip, from it's me and the narcs
And then my, legend would grow on the A train line
Where rappers would gather to see me blowing nicks and dimes
It was me, Big P, Tania and Sir Abu
In the heat of the cypher, I was not liable
For all the casualties of the dutty MC's
I split the train car like Moses did the Red Sea
Get it in ya head, we gon' rock ya dead
Night of the living MC's, the weak ones fled, come on Bust'

(Busta Rhymes)
Yo, yo, God body wise intelligence
Smack niggas and wrestle with elephants
My beloved, respect my benevolence
Coming like missiles, the issue is this beat is shit you can't revel against
When I sniff out you niggas that be hiding in bushes, what's up
And strangle niggas like poison inside the pusses, shut the fuck up
Back when hazardous weathers and blizzards as I spit
Sticking out my tongue like an iguana lizard
At your corny niggas, Animal Planet rap, wildlife
Stabbing you in your back, wild nights
While I hunt and eat you niggas like oh, leaving you bleeding
Beats, rattle your speakers like some buffalo stampeding
If you don't understand what I'm saying
Lyrically I'm like goons, accidentally beating you like gorillas playing
Know when I spit, I be seducing them
Countless money wit diamonds that's buried in Jerusalem
The renaissance...

[Interlude]

(Q-Tip)

Whoo, that Busta Rhymes right there
I don't remember I said that Raekwon in here
Where Raekwon at? Wu-Tang!

(Raekwon)

Aiyo, squeezing Johnnie Walker neck up in the Benzo, freezing
The head long, cock block pumping is easy
Poison medals on my neck, wrists and arms
Louis luggage is bronze, or get buried, D, happy Kwanza
Together we The Chi-Lites, a twist of The O'Jays
One line from this'll have you leaning like roach spray
Poison up ahoy, my boys in, this is how a choice
Brooklyn/Shaolin wilding in them roasters
Old gold at the Golden Globes, my robe hit in cement
Chef in the building, yup, and he bent
A thousand one goons at the goomba, certified clients
Drug money and something up, giants
Yo it's the Tarzan cocaine Clan in the area
Gorillas in Louis hats, the more, the merrier
Take mines, take a hundred nines, we be running out of rhymes
Never bullets, try to front and you mines
Renaissance...

(Lil' Wayne)

I go off, let me spaz, let me spaz
Though they call me Weezy F, you gon' let me pass
So ahead of my time wit my next week ass
Money on the dinner table like let's eat cash
And I do it for the killas and the hundred dollar billas
And for now on, I don't think you should stunt without a million
Dollars in the bank, I got money in the bank
Now throw ya hands in the air, if your pussy don't stink
Fuck a bullet in the shank, I got a bullet in the tank
I got verb in my boots, and a hoody on the mink
Stop sweating me, you should finally, I'm directing it
Other fools break it down, I be dissecting it
Ever since I made it, the bottom hit all America
Everybody wanna be in my genital area
But your boy stay away from my chemical barrier
Weezy, baby, straight out the cesarean, nigga
What's it called, man? Aiyo, Renaissance Rap

[Outro]

(Q-Tip)

Man, I ain't give ya my microphone no more
Cuz y'all tear it up when you get it
Let me see who we had out here
You had Q-Tip, you had Busta Rhymes
You had Raekwon the Chef, you had Lil' Wayne on here
Man, I ain't give ya the microphone no more
Cuz y'all tear it up when you get it
I just said kick a little something before the beat go

[brock]

J dilla is just a guess on the production for this one, if anybody knows 4 sure lemme know.

[IrOnMaN]

I personally thing that this is an underrated song.

I love the production and the lyrics. Also, I love how Rae, Lil Wayne, Busta, and Q-Tip came together and just laid their skills down in the studio. This track is too good to be on a mixtape, in my opinion.

Renaissance Rap (remix) should've been a video.

Classic track.
