Common, De La Soul - Gettin’ Down at the Amphitheater lyrics

"Ga-ga-gangbusters!"

Hey give it Boogie like the BX
Sex regular booger bitches get the backseat
G-bumps'll make you buy tapes
Ex-cape the fire tonight
Switch like Jekyll and Hyde
And shit, wreckin we live and shit
This swamp water style'll keep
Em dirty and wet
I bet mills on the rhyme skills
We walk away set
Rich like topsoil, connect coin with currency
Places that I couldn't pronounce
And then bounce
Illegal ain't illegal if it's
Less than an ounce
Keep it come in T la Rock amounts
See +It's Yours+
Study scrolls that includes the clause
Get your dirty paws out my bowl


Your hustle's too old to deal
With the shuffle
You exhaust me like a muffle
Get zapped and zipped in the duffle
Came to the set splashed
No Roley on the wrist
To Hell with a guest list, we all up in this!
A two dollar somethin got your eyes on him
But yo she pinching my ass so we go
Limb for limb
Lights studio dim, it's EXACT tonight
So we can drop the Rap Delight, on one!

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down"

Underground under pressure
My style is the child
Of a lesser, God, I Master like Farad
Persona in between the El Rook'n
And El DeBarge
Metaphorically massage, verbal hajj
I take over breaks and chop loops
Glorifying, one-eighty hat cats can
Rock in my troops wisdom like a tooth
Mock new shit's I knock loose
Dating game Thursday's I spot juice
Plug like Posdnuos
Before you get a style, let's get a style
My style pans the crowd back and forth
You were soft as the tracks you rappin off
I pop shit you tried to laugh it off
Actin like you had to cough
And didn't hear it
My spirit sustains in the same pattern
Emcee, familiar sample period spotting
Where you sampled
Your rhyme scheme from - I ain't clearin it
I drop science and experiment - contractually
Came to terms of endearment with my label
Want to pick out a day to smack wack niggas
I contact niggas
Like PO's, you spit background lyrics
I rip Lee flows
Wiping your nose like you need blows
Claiming it's a allergy
I react allergic to cats
Or is it how they word it
If you had weight it must have
Been some pussy you served with
Thoughts fermented
I rode rhythms and words tinted
Many lip profess, I'm verb centered

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down"

It's like rip y'all, add it on to lip
Wonder Why's upon this
Just to flex my strength
I was the one who killed wackness so
I had to do a bid
Of twelve years on the mic
Before parole with Tommy 'Kid'
Infinite landscaper, green paper maker
Leap far from home with chrome rims and trims
Man these people still taking
Rappin for a joke
The pimp, I rock it one double oh percent
Some of you MC's should be called CM's
Carbon Monoxide
On the mic exposing your polluted bloodtype
Y'all niggas need a visit
From the Brain Fairy walk around dead
Like your physical's buried
Wrote the rhymes durin a earthquake
Cause your style's
Shaky as SHIT! Just need to
Come clean and admit
That yo' quick draw fails the test
And mine was flawless
My DJ gave the scratch, yours was clawless
Your crew couldn't even measure to mine
That's why yo' bitches is busted
And mines is fine
Performing with an upper design
So back on off the plank
We bringin this Big and Bad like Hank

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down"
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down!
"Just get on down"

Cut and scratch of "Just get on
Down" to the song's end
