Get a Hold
A Tribe Called Quest

Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting

Drifting, drifting, drifting

Drifting by, totally

Drifting by totally

(Just)

Drifting by, totally

(Just)

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

(Just)

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

(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 MC's 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

(Just)

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

Don't try to play me, see my name is not dick

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

(Just)

(Drifting by)

You know we got to get control

(Totally)

Over the illest drum rolls

(Totally drifting by)

(Just)

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

(Just)

We put these tunes out in record shop facilities

(Just)

Let's strive to get this constant money activity

(Just)

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

(Totally)

You know we got to get control

(Drifting by)

(Just)

Over the illest drum roll

(Totally drifting by)

(Just)

You know we got to get control

(Drifting by)

(Just)

Over the illest drum roll

(Totally drifting by)

(Just)

You know we got to get control

(Drifting by)

(Just)

Over the illest drum roll

(Totally drifting by)

(Just)

Yo bust it out section, section

(Totally)

(Just)

(Totally)

(Just)

Section Linden Boulevard

(Drifting by, drifting by)

Section on Merrick

(Totally)

(Just)

(Totally)

(Just)

Section the whole Jamaica

(Drifting by, drifting by)

Section on Flushing

Section in Bed-Stiduy
