Buddy
J. Period Q-Tip Lyrics

Hello, it's the Soul
Greetings, it is the collective soul of the group

Troopin' in with the Jungle patrol
Marching in with the Jungle patrol, a symbol of strength and unity

And this one's about the KO's, the knockouts out there
This song is dedicated to the attractive and captivating individuals in the crowd

Who's holdin' my buddy
Who possesses my companion

Hold up (wait a minute)
Pause for a moment

Now just wait
Please be patient

We're gonna talk about Buddy on this plate
We are about to discuss the topic of friendship or companionship

But before we let the herd out the gate
Before we release the crowd from their containment

Make sure the all the levels are straight out the jungle
Ensure that everything is properly aligned and organized

(The Jungle, the Brothers, the Brothers)
Referencing the Jungle and highlighting the camaraderie among the group members

De La Soul, from the soul
De La Soul, representing their true essence and spirit

Black medallions, no gold
Wearing black medallions as a symbol of pride, not driven by material wealth

Hangin' out with Pos, hangin' out with Mase
Spending time with Pos and Mase, forming meaningful connections

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy all in my face
Friend, friend, friend always present and close to me

For the lap, Jimbrowski must wear a cap
To engage in an intimate act, a hat is worn for protection

Just in case the young girl likes to clap
As a precaution, in case the young woman wants to applaud

Ain't for the wind, but before I begin
Not for casual encounters, but before I start

I'll initiate the buddy with a slap
I will commence the companionship with a bold move

For the next
Moving on to the next topic

I'm the Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest
I am Q-Tip, a member of A Tribe Called Quest

And when I quest for the Buddy I don't fess
When I search for companionship, I do not hesitate

For my Jimmy wants nothin' but the best (the best)
My intimate partner desires only the finest experiences

Let's stick out Jimmy and see what we can catch
Let's reveal our intimate partner and see what we can attract

(Stick em up, stick em up, Jimmy)
Drawing attention to our partner's prominence

Nets won't be needed unless
We won't require any extra assistance unless

(Jenny wanna get right to the flesh)
If Jenny desires immediate physical contact

(Sweet little woman, sweet little woman)
Endearingly, a kind and lovely woman

I won't lie, I love B-U-D-D-Y (why)
Honestly, I adore companionship

Cause I never let it walk on by
Because I never let an opportunity for companionship pass me by

When it comes to me and Jenny
When it concerns me and Jenny

I seem (very serious) like a Peek Freen
I come across as extremely earnest, like a Peek Freen (a fictional character known for seriousness)

Buddy is the act that occurs on the lip
Buddy refers to the interaction taking place through kissing

When Jenny and Jimmy start shootin' the gift
When Jenny and Jimmy passionately express their affection

Boy, let me get shot I won't even riff
In that situation, I won't even protest or complain

Buddy, Buddy, don't you know you make me go nutty
Companion, companion, don't you realize you drive me crazy

I'm so glad that you're not a fuddy duddy
I'm grateful that you're not a boring or dull individual

Not too skinny and not too chubby
Neither excessively thin nor overweight

Soft like Silly Putty
Soft and pliable like Silly Putty

Miss Crabtree, I hope that you're not mad at me
Dear Miss Crabtree, I hope you're not angry with me

'Cause I told you that it was your Buddy
Because I informed you that your companion was the source of my desire

That was making me ever so horny
That was arousing me to an extreme extent

Junglelistically horny
Aroused in a manner reminiscent of the Jungle, with great vigor and excitement

On the dial, my Buddy talks to me for a while
Through the radio, my companion communicates with me for some time

Plug Two is the (Q to her Tip)
Plug Two (a member of De La Soul) is the connecting link between my companion and me (Q-Tip)

On the A side or sometimes the flip
On the main side of the record or occasionally on the flip side

(Never gonna flip this record)
We will never give up on our connection

Buddy is the bud to my daisy tree
Companionship is the blossoming flower on my tree of life

And the Luuden to my do-re-mi
And the harmony to my musical scale

And the pleaser to my man Plug 3
And the source of satisfaction for Plug 3 (another member of De La Soul)

(Plug 3 gets all the Buddy)
Plug 3 receives abundant companionship

Behind my bush, my Buddy likes the way that I push
Privately, my companion enjoys my assertiveness

And like a champ, just knock it on out
And with skill, confidently succeed

Never ever once sellin' out
Never betraying or compromising

(Oh, let loose the juice)
Allow the energy and excitement to flow freely

My buddy helps me to (De La my Soul)
My companion assists in nourishing my soul

Keepin' Jimmy in total control
Maintaining control over my intimate partner, Jimmy

Without Jimmy, I'd be on a roll
Without Jimmy, I would be on a streak of success

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Singing in a joyful and melodic manner

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Continuing to sing joyfully

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Persisting in the cheerful singing

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Ongoing joyful singing

Hey girl, I heard you're lookin' for some good times
Hello, I've heard that you are seeking enjoyable experiences

If we quest from the Soul, here's what we'll find
If we embark on a journey together, here's what we will discover

A whole lot of fun, lots of fun together
An abundance of enjoyment, shared experiences of fun

Just like kissin' cousins (yeah, that's kinda clever)
Similar to close relatives sharing affectionate kisses (a play on words to highlight the humor)

Close like bosoms, bosoms stay close
Close and intimate like breasts, always remaining near

If you be my Buddy, I will boast
If you become my companion, I will proudly declare it

That we're like Ethel Merts and Lucille MacGillicuddy
We resemble the close friendship of fictional characters Ethel Merts and Lucille MacGillicuddy

You can be mines and I can be your Buddy
You can be mine, and I can be your companion

The best Buddy's in evening wear
The most exceptional companions dress formally

Long lovin' less Tru know (he's in there)
Enjoying extended periods of love and passion, a reference to Tru (a producer) being included

I feel sorry for those who pay a fare (a fee), word to the D
I pity those who have to pay for companionship, a nod to the group Digital Underground

I don't beg, I just tease my Buddy with my right leg
I don't plead, I simply flirt playfully with my companion using my leg

And when it's ready what's said is Buddy is best in bed (word)
And when the time is right, it is acknowledged that companionship excels in intimate encounters

Fly Buddy told us all to get into a circle
A remarkable companion encouraged everyone to form a circle

Said, 'don't worry, 'cause I won't hurt you'
Assured everyone not to worry, as they would not be harmed

All I really wanna do is freak you (she freaked us)
All I truly desire is to impress and amaze you (referring to a woman who amazed them)

And I watched and then I checked my swatch
I observed intently, then glanced at my watch

To see the time
To determine what time it is

The Soul had formed a Buddy line
The group had arranged themselves in a line of companionship

And that Buddy was (mine, oh, mine)
And that companion belonged to me, exclusively

Now when Tribe, the Jungle, and De La Soul
When A Tribe Called Quest, the Jungle Brothers, and De La Soul

Is at the clubs our ritual unfolds
Are present at the clubs, our customary practice takes place

Grab our bones and start swingin' our hands
Grab our microphones and begin energetically performing

(Then Jenny start flockin' in every brand)
The women named Jenny start gravitating towards us from all walks of life

Cause Jennifer just want to stay aware
Because Jennifer simply wants to stay informed and connected

Yo fellas, should we keep her aware (mmm-hmm, yeah)
Hey guys, should we continue to involve her in our activities? (affirmative response)
