[00:01.000] 作曲 : Ali Shaheed Muhammad/Kamaal Fareed
[00:02.800]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[00:12.710]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[00:22.710]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[00:32.290]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[00:38.000]10 after 1I think I'll hop the horse
[00:40.390]Downtown 83 of course
[00:43.120]Just came from fishing,couldn't get a catch
[00:45.890]Downtown they'll probably have a batch
[00:48.120]A whiting sandwich and a Guinness Stout
[00:51.490]But with the beer though I had a bout
[00:54.610]So I exchanged it for some apple juice
[00:57.990]I had the blues but I shook them loose
[00:59.490]A jeep is blasting from the urban streets
[01:00.380]Loops of funk over hardcore beats
[01:02.210]The moon dabbles in the morning sky
[01:04.990]As the minutes just creep on by
[01:08.270]I get a thought and here comes my Tribe Ritual shakes and in good vibes
[01:12.730]Like always the Quest begins
[00:14.460]In the mist though but the rhythms moving
[01:16.860]We find a spot and we sit and chat
[01:19.260]Speaking on the status quo of rap
[01:22.731]A derelict makes a real long speech
[01:24.390]We pay attention to the words he read
[01:26.360]When he was done we rattled on
[01:29.230]There was no rush because it wasn't dawn
[01:31.650]We pointed things out about these times
[01:34.490]The worlds famines and the crazy crimes
[01:36.590]Inflation of the nation,it bothers me
[01:38.490]I better go gold,to pay the taxes
[01:41.980]Gotta be swift society
[01:43.490]The man who's made is the man who maxes
[01:46.630]The grounds for living are being discussed
[01:48.770]As we go, it gets close to dusk
[01:50.360]Gather thoughts and savor breath
[01:53.810]"Cause there's only a few hours left
[01:58.240]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[02:07.330]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[02:16.830]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[02:26.480]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[02:33.760]Me oh my,hey-hey,hey-hey
[02:36.570]The human hours are here to stay
[02:38.340]This is how it seems as Phife's my witness
[02:41.170]Bug out all night,ask Phife,he's with this
[02:43.140]Girls be screaming on this conversation
[02:46.250]I have my two cents for a revelation
[02:48.480]And my watch continuously tic-tocks
[02:50.110]Shaheed will bring up the beats that rocks
[02:53.590]I hear the frogs and the smashing of bottles
[02:55.230]A car revs up and I hear it throttle
[02:58.410]It probably moves with the morning wind
[03:00.180]Oh my God,here's Phife again
[03:02.280]Hear him talking about last night's game
[03:05.480]Trying to remember someone's name
[03:07.080]So hear the frogs dancing in the streets
[03:10.290]Once again Ali will bring up the beat
[03:12.460]Like this
[03:14.380](He got this)
[03:31.010]The beat is over and so is the night
[03:34.410]The sun is risen and the shine is bright
[03:36.680]We all say peace and go our separate ways
[03:38.460]Youth is fading as we gain our days
[03:41.340]Expedition for the song is simp'
[03:43.440]The hours creep,excuse me,I mean limp
[03:46.570]As we go you hear a gasp of laugh
[03:48.260]As we start up our rhythmic path
[03:50.060]Like this
[03:52.760]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[04:02.060]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[04:12.160]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[04:22.060]After hours it was cool,after hours it was cool
[04:30.960]Oh word walking in some fresh mud
[04:34.860]And I left back my foot prints,word
