Get A Hold Lyrics

    Intro(fading in): drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting,
    Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting by, totally. drifting
    By(just)totally. drifting by(just)totally

    Q-tip:
    The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning
    We always hittin, so yo, there'll be no extra innings
    As i send the mic out the park like reggie jackson
    You be the minor leaguer who sees no action
    The coming attraction(what!)
    The main feature
    And i'ma greet ya, like a rhymin ass creature
    Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts
    The brotha well prepared is the brotha who will start
    And that's me akki, as long as the ladies move they bodies
    We'll have a four-on-two stand
    Cuz that happens to be the nature of man
    Sexuality, it is the format baby
    Ain't no ifs, no buts, no ands, or maybes
    But i praise lord in the worlds that's unseen
    Respect me for that and let me do my thing(just)
    I said, respect me for that and let me do my thing

    Chorus:
    (drifting by)you know we gotta get a hold
    (totally) over the illest drum rolls
    (totally drifting by just...)

    Yo, how you doin? let me give you an intro
    My name's the abstract, now let me give you some info
    Got the diamond in the back, and the sunroof shit
    That makes the hardcore mcs resort to being bitch
    And i don't give a shit about being wild rich
    Just make me comfortable and i'll deal with it
    Your lust for the riches make a nigga feel sick
    Down to his zealots, upchuck and then spit
    Denouncin my beliefs, well then your wig get split
    Lay your ego on the ground so that you'll benefit
    You can take these words and relay it to your click
    Take some time for your mind and get off them head trips
    The tribe is the crew that makes your mics get lit
    Like the fourth of july on some firework shit
    My record company be on some true jerk shit
    But that's i-ight. now, i'm on some true work shit
    And i'ma make it happen for my whole outfit

    Chorus:
    (drifting by)you know we got to get control
    (totally)over the illest drum rolls
    (totally drifting by just...)third verse

    A-yo, we just gettin started
    Got to redirect this vision
    Got the beauty of a flower
    Plus dimensions like a prism
    Your minds are locked down like prison
    Y'all really need to go lay down
    Cuz positivity has risen
    We hittin
    Yo bust how we too strong to be broken
    Occasional malfunction pressure time
    We ain't jokin
    For security we on this run like logan
    Kamaal's doin the hustle
    And you backstage voguin
    We all got flaws
    Don't ever try to think that you perfect
    We all are human beings
    There's bullshit at the surface
    Sometimes, i mean we rhyme
    Damn, we ain't prophets
    And if you think so, you need to stop it
    So jump back inside your shell
    Let your million dollar thoughts propel
    But next man don't get jel
    Playa hate that all carries weight
    That we don't need
    We slim with disabilities and
    Thick with possibilities
    Cuz then you can't move with fertility
    Navigatin with good visibility
    We put these tunes out in record shop facilities
    Let's strive to get this constant money activity
    We try to stay on the scene like fidel
    So if you get enraged with these names it still rebels
    There ain't no plan b's
    Yo watch, we movin through with plan a
    Money market doin things the right way

    Chorus:
    (totally)you know we got to get control
    (drifting by, just)over the illest drum roll
    (totally drifting by just...)(x3)
    (totally just(x2), drifting by(x2) in background)
    Yo bust it out section, section.
    Section linden boulevard
    Section on merrick
    Section the whole jamaica
    Section on flushing
    Section in bed-stiduy
