Get A Hold - A Tribe Called Quest

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'ma greet ya, like a rhymin ass creature 
Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts 
The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start 
And that's me Akki, as long as the ladies move they bodies 
We'll have a four-on-two 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 
(totally) Over the illest drum rolls 
(totally 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 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 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 
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. Now, I'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-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 bullshit 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 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 watch, we movin through with plan A 
Money market doin things the right way 

Chorus: 
(Totally)You know we got to get control 
(Drifting by, just)Over the illest drum roll 
(Totally drifting by just...)(x3) 
(Totally just(x2), Drifting by(x2) in background) 
Yo bust it out section, section. 
Section Linden Boulevard 
Section on Merrick 
Section the whole Jamaica 
Section on Flushing 
Section in Bed-Stiduy
