Start It Up
A Tribe Called Quest

Yo, yo, I hope y'all ready

Are ya ready? Here we go

What ya deal with, 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 an' girls an'

Welcome to the movement, the fifth wit' 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 out thing love

Never fakin', it's late, spirits

Through the music is our mission

Honies 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

'Cuz it's inside the body and the hearts

So here we are fam let's start, c'mon

Don't beat me in the head with the bullshit bat

C'mon everybody let's start

Don't beat me in the head with the bullshit bat

C'mon everybody let's start

Ummah, Mos, Jane Doe, Willy

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

Niggaz 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 all y'all foes will embellish

For somethin' wicked at y'all faces

What I see is longin', needin'

Hey I got you with that good stuff

And ya probably 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, ay, ay, ay

With the bullshit bat

C'mon everybody let's start

Don't beat me in the head with the bullshit bat

C'mon everybody let's start

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

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 lets start

A-yo get off your ass and let's start, a-yo, here we are fam let's start

C'mon, 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 ass

Ha ha ha, let's start
