A Tribe Called Quest — Put It Down

[Verse 1: Q-Tip] 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 [Chorus: Q-Tip] 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? [Verse 2: Q-Tip] 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 [Chorus: Q-Tip] 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?
