Lyrics to Go
A Tribe Called Quest Lyrics
Lyrics to go (lyrics to go) uh
Lyrics to go (lyrics to go) ah yeah, come on
Lyrics to go (lyrics to go)
Lyrics to go (lyrics to go) yeah yeah
Lyrics to go (lyrics to go)
Goin' on and on to the rhythmic variation
Wakin' in the morning I still represent the nation
When I speak of nation please don't make the deviation
Rebels of the party who create the drum sensation
Microphone is on so of course communication
Bogle at the party then you got the bogle-ation
Decaptatin' foes yo as if my name was Jason (come on)
Makin all the fellas at the party lose composure
Hook up the beat with the mic and it's over (original, uh)
A Tribe Called Quest we on the run for whatever
Trials and tribulations that we have to endeavor
Brothers know my steelo it's a letter to the better
If you see a shorty that you like, then you sweat her
Silly with the microphone, in other words I'm loco
Six foot zero with my height, complexion cocoa
Representin' on the mic it seems to be my daily
I can do a split and turn around like Alvin Ailey
But when it comes to days like this I got lyrics to go
I got lyrics to go (it's like that y'all), come on y'all
Lyrics to go (it's like that y'all), come on y'all
Lyrics to go (t's like that)
I know it's been two years but see the Tribe was never fallin'
Would have tried for singin' but that stuff was not my callin'
The mic is in effect so you know I'm never stallin'
Walkin' through the door and all them suckers started haulin'
Talk a lot of trash, but no one can seem to beat it
Pull out your microphone and watch the Phifer make you eat it
The MC's they get jelly when the girly's on my belly
Kick a slow dance like my brother R. Kelly (bust a rhyme)
Today's a hip-hop draft will I be top-seeded? (Uhh)
Worked too frickin' hard while all the rest were gettin' weeded
Steady kickin' styles so I can reach that other level (uh)
Don't worry about getti'n gassed I push the pedal to the metal
Always wanted this 'cause it surely beats a scramble (right)
I'm Jordan with the mic, huh, wanna gamble?
This I dedicate to all the hunnies that be bogle-in
'Cause at the end of the night y'know Malik will have his Trojans
But when it comes to nights like this I got lyrics to go
(Check it out y'all)(it's like that y'all)
Lyrics to go (it's like that y'all)
Lyrics to go, check it out y'all
Lyrics to go (it's like that y'all)
Lyrics to go, check it out y'all
Lyrics to go (it's like that y'all)
Lyrics to go, check it out y'all
Lyrics to go (it's like that y'all)
(It's like that y'all)
(Check it out y'all)
(It's like that y'all)
(Check it out y'all)
(It's like that y'all)
Check it out here we go
Please proceed with caution cause the lyricist is fatal
I can kick your little monkey ass like Kato (yes dread, uh)
Formulate your rhymes like a child forms Play-Doh (right)
Calm and serene like the study was Tao
Poetry machine with correct mechanisms
Immune to disease I defeat organisms
That are waitin' in my path, I overstep the critters
Give your ass the willies and your moms'll get the jitters
Quitters turn to losers, losers are forgotten
Tangling my cord with hopes that I'll stop rockin'
Never will that happen only if it is permitted (uh)
Wait, I think somebody shitted (come on)
I guess that will be me cause I'm the only one MC'ing
I go for what I know doin a show for human beings
Always try to lead yo never will I follow
Blowin' up the spot like Fred did to Rollo
And when it comes to days like this, I got lyrics to go
I got lyrics to go (check it out y'all)
I got lyrics to go (it's like that y'all)
I got lyrics to go (everybody, a-c'mon now)
I got lyrics to go (check it out y'all)
I got lyrics to go (it's like that now)
I got lyrics to go (a-c'mon now y'all, everybody)
I got lyrics to go (it's like that y'all, check it out now)
I got lyrics to go (a-c'mon y'all, everybody)
I got lyrics to go (It's like that y'all, check it out now)
I got lyrics to go (it's like that y'all, everybody)
I got lyrics to go (It's like that y'all, check it out now)
(It's like that y'all, check it out now)
(It's like that y'all, check it out now)
It goes, uh

A Tribe Called Quest was an American hip-hop group formed in St. Albans, Queens, New York, in 1985, originally composed of rapper and main producer Q-Tip, rapper Phife Dawg, DJ and co-producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and rapper Jarobi White. The group is regarded as a pioneer of alternative hip hop music.
In 1991, the group released its jazz-influenced second album, The Low End Theory, regarded for helping shape alternative hip hop in the 1990s.

The group is regarded as a pioneer of alternative hip hop music.
In 1991, the group released its jazz-influenced second album, The Low End Theory, regarded for helping shape alternative hip hop in the 1990s. In 1998, the group broke up shortly before releasing its fifth album, The Love Movement, but in 2006, the group's original members reunited and toured the United States. In 2016, the group released its sixth and final album, We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service, which was still incomplete when Phife Dawg died suddenly in March 2016, and was completed by the other members after his death. A Tribe Called Quest was the most commercially successful act in the Native Tongues collective, with all six of its albums certified either gold or platinum.
John Bush of AllMusic called them "the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s." The Source gave the group's debut album, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (1990), a perfect rating of five 'mics,' marking the first time that the magazine awarded the rating. In 2005, A Tribe Called Quest received the Founders Award at the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, and two years later, the group was honored at the 4th VH1 Hip Hop Honors. In 2017, the group was awarded the Brit Award for International Group.
AllMusic critic John Bush called A Tribe Called Quest "without question the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s", further stating that the group "jump-started and perfected the hip-hop alternative to hardcore and gangsta rap." At a time when James Brown drum breaks and P-Funk basslines dominated hip hop production, the group successfully bridged the gap between jazz and hip hop, incorporating bebop and hard bop samples and recording with double bassist Ron Carter. The group's production influenced their contemporaries, thus changing the sound of hip hop; Dr. Dre produced his highly regarded debut The Chronic after being inspired by The Low End Theory, and Pete Rock stated, "There were times when I would walk into a record store and see Tip sitting on the floor with his glasses on, going through albums, looking for beats ... I was like, 'This guy is serious.' Being around [the group] made me step up and become even more serious than I was".
Lyrically, A Tribe Called Quest has been regarded for addressing many social issues through Q-Tip's philosophical viewpoints and Phife Dawg's everyman perspectives. People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm influenced several hip hop artists; Scarface asserted that it "really made me want to rap", and Pharrell Williams expressed that it was "the turning point [which] made me see that music was art." Kierna Mayo, former editor-in-chief of Ebony, said that The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders "gave birth to neo-everything. ... That entire class of D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Maxwell, and Lauryn Hill—and moving on to André 3000, Kanye West, and Talib Kweli—everything that is left of everything begins with Tribe." The group has also been credited for helping launch the solo careers of Busta Rhymes, J Dilla and Consequence.
The group was the subject of the acclaimed 2011 documentary film Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, directed by Michael Rapaport.
