Description of a Fool

A Tribe Called Quest

Fool, defined in Webster's Open up the book, read it, read it Turn the page, see what it says Read it to me, will you please? (One who acts doltishly So what, what does it mean to me?)

(Ain't nothing wrong with me, mother) You big galoot (huh?), you nincompoop (what?) What's wrong witchu? You can't compute (Yes sure I can compute) Don't fix your lips to tell me you can Standing on the poley playing pusher man What you got to do with yourself? (Oh what?) Can't you be somebody else? (No) Look at you described to a tee (huh) You're a fool of many in society I know some more, I shall go on And continue in the song, fooled the fool Man I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout callin' me a fool I've been out here for twenty-some-odd years Doin' my thing, I ain't no fool, man You crazy or something?

He felt ashamed for what he had done It looked like a fool to everyone (oh!) These are three stories from the naked city (yeah) Reality, is sometimes a ditty (yeah uh huh) Like Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone Earth to your brain, is anyone home? (What you talking 'bout?) I see ya there, trying to make amends Try to make some friends, but now my story ends (oh man!)
