A Tribe Called Quest - Put It Down lyrics

The name is Q Tip
Entering through the middle from the left
Dead all the jokes and the riddles
Coming for the maximum gain, the octane
That's on the radio, it made me feel so low
Emcess have gotta write in the damn prison
I'm Nintendo 64 and you Mattel Intellivision
Bussing from them old trey-eights
Now papi wait this joint is like a Ruger
Watch it roar like a cougar
Now we gotta move on the dance floor
And work it out all night
That's what you came here for
Just him, I fills it to the rim
Your shine is looking dim daddy
Shine the light on him
And him is me, leader of the Starfleet Force
Guaranteed to knock your joint off course
You took a loss? Damn right
Sure as Tina made Ike
We gon' put it in your noggin all night
And all day
The tri lateral commission we missin'
Tell the citizens we straight
But like snakes, they hissin'
I'll be damned if I let a
Song go on to the side
Won't piggyback some shit, let's ride
Come on

I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?
I put it down now, what you gon' do?

When you hear this, recognize you hear love
MC nigga illin' over B-boy dubs
Riding through the shit like Tron
Does it matter if you're on board
Do you wanna get on? 'Cause if you do
Watch all the moves that we make
Gotta do your things
Ain't no time for mistakes
It's a hip-hop cat that
Can't fuck with Jake
Just because he wear a badge
Doesn't mean he's straight so, chew on it
Swallow it down and let's make it
Disregard those who fake it
Yo, it doesn't matter about the whelm
Hip-hop is to the helm
It's the vine that hit the
Mind like slippery elms

Put it down now, put it on down
Put it down now, put it on down
I put it down now, put it on down
I put it down now, put it on down
I put it down, man, what you gon' do?
Put it down, woman, what you gon' do?
I put it down, man, what you gon' do?
Put it down, woman, what you gon' do?
