Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo, hope y'all ready
Are you ready? Here we go
[Verse 2]
What you deal with, uh
What you deal with, what you deal with
Turn me up some more
[Verse 3]
Incognito speakin' to you
Feel this, have it, making music
Men and women, boys and girls and
Welcome to the movement, the fifth wth improvement
Aristotle, 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 our thing, love
Never fakin', enslave spirits
Through the music is our mission
Honey's 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
[Verse 4]
Don't beat me in the head with the bullsh** bat
Come on, everybody, let's start
Yo, don't beat me in the head with the bullsh** bat
Come on, everybody, let's start, come on
[Verse 5]
Ummah, Mos, Jane Doe, Billy
Punchline, Wordsworth, SV, 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
**** in the street, here comes the illest beat now
Move oceans with your mental
Think it, do it, be it, embellish
Here's another point for everyone to relish
When Ski busts his tools all your foes will embellish
For something wicked at y'all faces
What I see is longin', needin'
Hey, I got you with that good stuff
And you probably won't get enough
Ayo, lyrics, I got it, lyrics, cadence
Do it with fun and patience
Funky, rhythmic, characteristic
Ebonically linguistic with the ghetto futuristic
[Verse 6]
With the bull**** bat
Come on, everybody, let's start
Don't beat me in the head with the ghetto futuristic
Come on, everybody, let's start
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Ayo, get off your ass and let's start
Ayo, here we are, fam, let's start
Come on and get off your ass and let's start
Here (He is) we are, fam, let's start
Here he is, fam, let's start
Get off your ass and let's start
Here we are, fam, let's start
Get off your ass
And let's start
