Start It Up

(quiet eerie voice) Yooooo....Yooooo...I hope ya'll ready...

Are ya ready? Here we go....

What ya deal with...uhhh...

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 ya'll 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...

CHORUS:

Don't beat me in the head with the bullsh*t bat

C'mon everybody let's start (2x)

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 ya'll foes will embellish

For somethin' wicked at ya'll faces

What I see is longin', needin'

Hey I got you with that goooooood 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, ay, ay, ay, ay....

CHORUS (2x)

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, 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 aaaassss-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ha ha ha ha ha...let's start
