Yo, yo, I hope y'all ready
Are ya ready? Here we go
What ya deal wit', uhh
What ya deal wit', what ya deal wit'
Turn me up some more?
Incognito, speakin' to ya
Feel this, have it, makin' music
Men and women, boys and girls and
Welcome to the movement, the fifth wit' improvement
Aris-totle, Plato, Freud
Yeah right, Abstract, never void
I make it easy for y'all to boogie down to
Hard to the ground, ooh the Tribe with the sound boo
Touch me, tease me, feed me, squeezy
Take it easy, never sleazy
Promise that I will not answer
The phone when it rings love, while we do out thing love
Never fakin', it's late, spirits
Through the music is our mission
Honeys who were not cooler
Than the ghetto rebel risin' to overthrow a ruler
Dearly beloved, dearly departed
There's a reason why we did it
'Cause it's inside the body and the hearts
So here we are fam let's start, come on
Don't beat me in the head with the bullshit bat
Come on everybody let's start
(Yo) don't beat me in the head with the bullshit bat
Come on everybody let's start (come on)
Ummah (Ummah), Mos (Mos), Jane Doe (Jane Doe), Willy (Willy)
Punchline (punchline), Wordsworth (Wordsworth), SV (SV), Chrissy (Chrissy)
S.O.S., Tribe Called Quest
Get it off your chest, say it (Tribe Called Quest)
Can you feel it when it hit right?
Can you feel it when we do it?
Truth, power, taste, devour
Niggas in the street here comes the illest beat now
Move oceans wit' your mental
Think it, do it, be it, embellish
Here's another point for everyone to relish
When Ski busts his tools for ya fools will embellish
For somethin' wicked at y'all faces
What I see is longin', needin'
Hey I got you wit' that good stuff
And ya prob'ly won't get enough
Ay yo lyrics, I got it, lyrics, cadence
Do it with fun and patience
Funky, rhythmic, characteristic
Ebonically lingustic wit' the ghetto futuristic
With the bull bat
Come on everybody let's start
Don't beat me in the head with the bull bat
Come on everybody let's start
Don't beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
Don't beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
Don't beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
Don't beat me in the head (head, head, head, head)
So here we are fam let's start, so here we are fam let's start
So here we are fam let's start, to the Ummah family let's start
Ay yo get off your ass and let's start, ay yo, here we are fam let's start
Come on and get off your ass and let's start, here we are fam let's start
Here we is fam let's start, get off your ass and let's start
Here we are fam let's start, get off your a- (eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and let's start
