A Tribe Called Quest - Get a Hold lyrics

rate me

Intro(fading in): driftingdriftingdriftingdriftingdrifting

Driftingdriftingdriftingdrifting bytotally. drifting

By(just)totally. drifting by(just)totally

Q-tip:

The deadly venomlet me start from the beginning

We always hittinso yothere'll be no extra innings

As I send the mic out the park like reggie jackson

You be the minor leaguer who sees no action

The coming attraction(what!)

The main feature

And i'ma greet yalike a rhymin ass creature

Lurking all up in the darkunknown parts

The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start

And that's me akkias long as the ladies move they bodies

We'll have a four-on-two stand

Cuz that happens to be the nature of man

Sexualityit is the format baby

Ain't no ifsno butsno andsor maybes

But I praise lord in the worlds that's unseen

Respect me for that and let me do my thing(just)

I saidrespect me for that and let me do my thing

Chorus:

(drifting by)you know we gotta get a hold

(totally) over the illest drum rolls

(totally drifting by just...)

Yohow you doin? let me give you an intro

My name's the abstractnow let me give you some info

Got the diamond in the backand the sunroof shit

That makes the hardcore mcs resort to being bitch

And I don't give a shit about being wild rich

Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it

Your lust for the riches make a nigga feel sick

Down to his zealotsupchuck and then spit

Denouncin my beliefswell then your wig get split

Lay your ego on the ground so that you'll benefit

You can take these words and relay it to your click

Take some time for your mind and get off them head trips

The tribe is the crew that makes your mics get lit

Like the fourth of july on some firework shit

My record company be on some true jerk shit

But that's i-ight. nowI'm on some true work shit

And i'ma make it happen for my whole outfit

Chorus:

(drifting by)you know we got to get control

(totally)over the illest drum rolls

(totally drifting by just...)third verse

A-yowe just gettin started

Got to redirect this vision

Got the beauty of a flower

Plus dimensions like a prism

Your minds are locked down like prison

Y'all really need to go lay down

Cuz positivity has risen

We hittin

Yo bust how we too strong to be broken

Occasional malfunction pressure time

We ain't jokin

For security we on this run like logan

Kamaal's doin the hustle

And you backstage voguin

We all got flaws

Don't ever try to think that you perfect

We all are human beings

There's bullshit at the surface

SometimesI mean we rhyme

Damnwe ain't prophets

And if you think soyou need to stop it

So jump back inside your shell

Let your million dollar thoughts propel

But next man don't get jel

Playa hate that all carries weight

That we don't need

We slim with disabilities and

Thick with possibilities

Cuz then you can't move with fertility

Navigatin with good visibility

We put these tunes out in record shop facilities

Let's strive to get this constant money activity

We try to stay on the scene like fidel

So if you get enraged with these names it still rebels

There ain't no plan b's

Yo watchwe movin through with plan a

Money market doin things the right way

Chorus:

(totally)you know we got to get control

(drifting byjust)over the illest drum roll

(totally drifting by just...)(x3)

(totally just(x2)drifting by(x2) in background)

Yo bust it out sectionsection.

Section linden boulevard

Section on merrick

Section the whole jamaica

Section on flushing

Section in bed-stiduy
