歌詞

[INTRO] I'mma deal with a bigger insult, man The heat, the heat, the heat, the heat It's comin' down hard We've got to get our shit together [CHORUS]: [Q-TIP＆PHIFE] It's time to go left and not right Gotta get it together forever Gotta get it together for brothers Gotta get it together for sisters For mothers and fathers and dead niggas For non conformists, one hitter quitters For Tyson types and Che figures Let's get it together, come on let's make it Gotta make it, to make it, to make it, to make it To make something happen To make something happen To make something happen Let's make something happen [Q-TIP] Word to Phifer gonna bring it to the overlord Drinking Cisco chilling with the gold microphone chords And we grip our ball every time we stunting on tour 'Cause we never bore, responding to the ready crowd's roar And promoters try to hit us with the art of war We about our business, we not quitters Not bullshitters, we deliver, we go get it Don't be bitter 'cause we not just niggas [JAROBI] Jarobi my fiber wove into different cloth Ain't nothing forbidden this nigga get his written off Hardest spit in the city y'all niggas spitting kitten soft Confused and amazed shook up with your brain missing lost They planning for our future people none of our people involved Pouring Henny and Smirnoff to get it cracking off Cracking off and Smirnoff could quickly turn to Molotov Molotov the spaceship doors before that bitch is taking off It always seems the poorest persons are people forsaken dog No Washington, Jeffersons, Jacksons on the captains log They rather leave us to the grayest water poison deadly smog Mass unblackening it's happening you feel it y'all Rather see we in a 3x3 structure with many bars Leave us where we are so they can play among the stars They taking off to Mars got the space vessels overflowing What you think they want us there All us niggas not going [Q-TIP] Reputation ain't glowing Reparations ain't flowing If you find yourself stuck in a creek you better start rowing Used to see the TV screen as a place to land my dream in And a car stereo where they would promote the show Optimistic little brother with a little hope you know (Move on to the stars) There ain't a space program for niggas here, you stuck here nigga [x3] (Move on to the stars) There ain't a space program for niggas here, you stuck, you stuck, you stuck (Move on to the stars) [Q-TIP] Sit and wonder sometimes I read the paper everyday All these happenings are cycular just happen different ways And the president's refined in her wing she's confined With about 30 Percosets and 5 bottles of wine Carolina nothing finer than a Black woman who climbs To the top of the state building claiming that that flag is mine Now people on top of people feels like we can't breathe Put so much in this motherfucker feel like we shouldn't leave Put it on TV, put it in movies, put it in our face These notions and ideas of citizens living in space I chuckle just like all of y'all, absurdity after all Takes money to get it running and money from trees don't fall Imagine for one second all my people of color please Imagine for one second all the people in poverty No matter the skin tone, culture, or time zone Think the ones who got it would even think to throw you a bone Moved you out your neighborhood did they find you a home Nah cypher, probably no place to Imagine if this shit was really talking 'bout space dude [x3] [CHORUS] Gotta get it together for brothers Gotta get it together for sisters For mothers and fathers and dead niggas For non conformists, one hitter quitters For Tyson types and Che figures Make, make, make ｜ Let's make something happen [x4] Gotta get it together forever Gotta get it together for brothers Gotta get it together for sisters For mothers and fathers and dead niggas For non conformists, one hitter quitters For Tyson types and Che figures Let's make something happen [x4] [CHORUS] [x2] [OUTRO] The danger must be growing For the rowers keep on rowing And they're certainly not showing Any signs that they are slowing! "We're there!" "Where?" "Here!" A small step for mankind But a giant step for us Oompa, loompa, doopa dee doo I've got another puzzle for you
