A Tribe Called Quest - Get A Hold lyrics

intro(fading in): Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting by, totally. Drifting by(just)totally. Drifting by(just)totally Q-Tip: The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning We always hittin, so yo, there'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'm a greet ya, like a rhymin a** creature Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start And that's me Aqui, as long as the ladies move they bodies We'll have a forum to stand Cuz that happens to be the nature of man Sexuality, it is the format baby Ain't no ifs, no buts, no ands, or maybes But I praise Lord in the worlds that's unseen Respect me for that and let me do my thing(just) I said, respect me for that and let me do my thing Chorus: (Drifting by)You know we gotta get a hold (suddenly) Over the illest drum rolls (suddenly drifting by just...) Yo, how you doin? Let me give you an intro My name's the Abstract, now let me give you some info Got the diamond in the back, and the sunroof sh** That makes the hardcore MCs resort to being b**h And I don't give a sh** about being wild rich Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it Your lust for the riches make a n***a feel sick Down to his zealots, upchuck and then spit Denouncin my beliefs, well 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 Don't try to play me, see my name's not dick The Tribe is the crew that makes your mics get lit Like the Fourth of July on some firework sh** My record company be on some true jerk sh** But that's i-ight. Now, I'm on some true work sh** And I'ma make it happen for my whole outfit Chorus: (Drifting by)You know we got to get control (suddenly)Over the illest drum rolls (suddenly drifting by just...)Third verse A-yo, we 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 bullsh** at the surface Sometimes, I mean we rhyme Damn, we ain't prophets And if you think so, you 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 agility 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 watch, we movin through with plan A Money market doin things the right way Chorus: (suddenly)You know we got to get control (Drifting by, just)Over the illest drum roll (suddenly drifting by just...)(x3) (suddenly just(x2), Drifting by(x2) in background) Yo bust it out section, section.
