Start It Up Lyrics

    (quiet eerie voice) yooooo....yooooo...i hope ya'll ready...
    Are ya ready? here we go....

    [q-tip]
    What ya deal with...uhhh...
    What ya deal wit'...what ya deal wit'...
    Turn me up some more?

    Incognito, speakin' to ya
    Feel this, have it, makin' music
    Men and women, boys an' girls an'
    Welcome to the movement, the fifth wit' improvement
    Aristotle, plato, freud
    Yeah right, abstract, never void
    I make it easy for ya'll to boogie down to
    Hard to the ground, ooh the tribe with the sound boo
    Touch me, tease me, feed me, squeezy
    Take it easy, never sleazy
    Promise that i will not answer
    The phone when it rings love, while we do out thing love
    Never fakin', it's late, spirits
    Through the music is our mission
    Honies who were not cooler than the ghetto rebel risin'
    To overthrow a ruler
    Dearly beloved, dearly departed
    There's a reason why we did it
    Cuz it's inside the body and the hearts
    So here we are fam let's start, c'mon...

    Chorus:
    Don't beat me in the head with the bullsh*t bat
    C'mon everybody let's start (2x)

    Ummah, mos, jane doe, willy
    Punchline, wordsworth, sv, chrissy
    S.o.s., tribe called quest
    Get it off your chest, say it: "tribe called quest!"
    Can you feel it when it hit right
    Can you feel it when we do it
    Truth, power, taste, devour
    Niggaz in the street here comes the illest beat now
    Move oceans wit' your mental
    Think it, do it, be it, embellish
    Here's another point for everyone to relish
    When ski busts his tools all ya'll foes will embellish
    For somethin' wicked at ya'll faces
    What i see is longin', needin'
    Hey i got you with that goooooood stuff
    And ya probably won't get enough
    Ay-yo, lyrics i got it, lyrics, cadence
    Do it with fun and patience
    Funky, rhythmic, characteristic
    Ebonically lingustic wit' the ghetto futuristic
    Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay....

    Chorus (2x)

    Beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
    Don't beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
    Don't beat me in the head, don't beat me in the head
    Don't beat me in the head, head, head, head...

    So here we are fam let's start, so here we are fam let's start
    So here we are fam let's start, so here we are fam let's start
    To the ummah family lets start
    A-yo get off your ass and let's start, a-yo, here we are fam let's start
    C'mon, get off your ass and let's start, here we are fam let's start
    Here we is fam let's start, get off your ass and let's start
    Here we are fam let's start, get off your aaaassss-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ha ha ha ha ha...let's start
