A Tribe Called Quest - Seperate together lyrics

Verse

Sometimes men and women look at themselves and see bliss

Through experience we tend to exist

That's through our past or our caretakers

The instance is in particular, so you need to recognize that

if you take all this away

and look at us at the end of the day

we stand great among creation

So baby take these words as a little inspiration

While I kick this shit get your ass motivation

MCs, you're walking a thin line

Get in your ranks and tighten up as we walk through mines

and plus vipers, phony rhymers and biters

Money-grubbers, beat-dubbers

amongst a whole host of others

Who be fakin', fraudulatin'

Waitin' for your bacon

They be takin' and skatin' while you sit contemplatin'

Who's your peoples

Well let me tell you somethin' now paw

We're livin' a world that's R-A-double-raw

It's crazy but it's true, go for delly is the law

and if you cross the path then you dangerin' your jaw

And if you Glass Joe, don't go toe-for-toe

Yo all we wanna do is our thing and lay low

So brothers hold your heads high when you get down

Don't violate these women cuz we need them around

It's all of us together, not the one without the other

The Abstract is ill, word to mother.

Chorus

We got to do our do, not separate, together

Got to move on through, not separate, together

Got to do our do, not separate, together

Got to move on through, not separate, together

Yo, we got some problems baby

People stressed out, check it

But we can make it Sugar

Keep it light and I say

move on through separate

not together but together

Not separate, that's how

we got to do it, check it on out

Bust it, yo...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
