A Tribe Called Quest - Hey lyrics

The name is q-tipenterin through the middle

From the leftdead all the jokes and the riddles

Comin from the maximum gainthe octane

That's on the radio it made me feel so low

It seems we gottabrightenthe damp prison

I'm nintendo 64 and you mattel intellivision

Bustin from no mo' trey-eightsnow papi weight

This joint is like a rugerwatch it roar like a cougar

And we gottamove on the dancefloor

And work it out all night that's what you came here for

Just chem'I fills it to the rimyour shine is lookin dim

Daddy shine the light on himahem it's me

Leader of the starfleet force

Guaranteed to knock your joint off coursewe took the loss?

Damn rightsure as tina made ike

We gonna put it in your noggin all nightand all day

The trilateral commision we dissin

Tellin citizens be straightbut like snakes they hissin

I'll be damned if I let his song fall to the side

Goin piggybackin shitlet's ridec'mon

I put it downnow what you gonna do (8x)

Heynowwhat you gonna dowith yourselfhah? (4x)

When you hear thisrecognize you hear love

Mc nigga illin over b-boy dubs

Riding through the shit like tron

Doesn't matter if you onboarddo you wanna get on?

Cause if you dowatch all the moves that we make

Gotta do the things rightain't no time for mistake

It's the hip-hop cat that can'tfuck with jake

Just because he wear a badge doesn'tmean he straight so

What you wanna swallow it down or let's take it

Disregard those who fake ityo it doesn't matter

About the realmhip-hop is to the helm

It's divine to hit the mind like slippery elms

So put it down manput it on down

Put it down manput it on down

Put it down womanput it on down

Put it down manput it on down

Put it down manwhatchu gonna do

Put it down womanwhatchu gonna do

A-put it down manwhatchu gonna do

Put it down womanwhatchu gonna do
