We Can Get Down
A Tribe Called Quest

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down


Ah, it's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

Check it


I'm not your average MC with the Joe Schmoe flow

If you don't know me by now, you'll never know

Steppin' on my critics, beatin' on my foes

The plan is to stay focused, only then I can go

Straight from the heart, I represent hip hop

I be three albums deep but I don't wanna go pop

Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top

Too much candy is no good, so now I'm closin' the shop


Crushin' competition like your tires on grapes

My rhymes styles be blendin' like a Ron G tape

My man where ya goin', you can't escape

When the Tribe is in the house, that means nobody is safe

How can a reverend preach when a rev can't define

The music of our youth from 1979

We rap about what we see, meaning reality

From people bustin' caps and like Mandela bein' free


Not every MC be with the negativity

We have a slew of rappers pushin' positivity

Hip hop will never die yo, it's all about the rap

So Marion Barry smokin' crack, let's preach about that

The trash you talk won't matter, that old bogus chatter

The more that you condemn us, it only makes us phatter

When I talk, I know I'm talkin' for you poppers all around

You know you love the sound, we get down


We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down

We can get down, we can, we can get down


Ah, it's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

Check it


I'm the cherry on the top of yo ice cream

I'm the Mister Thought inside your dream

Listen to the way we pulsate the jam

I'm the nigga here with the mic in hand

Styles that we present are just a few

To do away with you and your hum drum crew

This is '93 and the shit is real

Black people unite and put down your steel


Ladies make a forum on your sexual drive

Devoted to your lover and make it thrive

The riff was of F, I'm a hip hop body

Release my energy with the force of a shotty

Standin' on the wall with my Polo on

Talkin' to the girl with the Liz Claiborne

Keep the poetry in my black knapsack

Got my Timbo horse and my Doublemint pack


Hit the city streets to enhance my soul

I can kick a rhyme over ill drum rolls

With a kick, snare, kicks and high hat

Skilled in the trade of that old boom bap

I can do a trick with the opposite breed

I used to down 40's and smoke grain weed

Now, I'm doin' shows with half loot down

Now it's time for me to take ya uptown


It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like that

It's like that man, it's like this
