Get It Together
J. Period Q-Tip Lyrics

1-2 1-2 keep it on
The song is about to start, so pay attention.

Listen to the shit because we kick it until dawn
Listen to the music because it's good and we'll keep playing it all night.

Listen to the abstract got it going on
Listen to the creative and unconventional style of music we're playing.

Listen to the ladies come on and let me spawn
Listen to the women in the club and let me flirt with them, maybe I can hook up with one later.

All your eggs then you you go up the river
If you let me impregnate you, you'll probably get in trouble and have to deal with the consequences.

Listen to the abstract that freaky nigga
Listen to the unconventional and eccentric person who is rapping.

I'm ad rock and I shock and I tick and I tock
My name is Ad Rock and I make music that is electrifying and rhythmic.

And I can't stop with the body rock
I can't stop dancing and moving to the beat of the music.

See I've got heart like john starks
I'm passionate and have a strong drive, like the basketball player John Starks.

Hitting mad sparks
Creating a lot of energy and excitement, like sparks flying off metal.

Pass me the mic
Give me the microphone so I can continue rapping.

And I'll be rocking the whole park
I'll be performing so well that everyone in the park will be excited and energized.

I'm the m to the see to the a and it's a must
My initials are MCA and it's a must that I rap and perform.

The rhymes that we bust on the topic on lust
We're rhyming and rapping about sex and desire.

And my moms is not butt, but fuck it
Even though my mother doesn't have a big butt, I don't care.

Let me get down to the rhythm
Let me start rapping and flowing with the rhythm of the music.

Yes I'm getting funky and I'm shooting all my jism
I'm getting really into the music and performing with a lot of energy and excitement.

Like john holmes, the x-rated nigga
Like the pornographic performer John Holmes, I'm being sexually explicit in my rap.

Listen to the shit 'cause I'm the ill figure
Listen to my music because I'm a great performer.

Nobody's getting any bigger than this
No one is better or more famous than us at this moment.

Ad rock down with the ione
Ad Rock is friends with Ione, a woman's name.

Listen to the shit because both of them is boney
Listen to the music because both Ad Rock and Ione are skinny.

Got to do it like this like chachi and joanie
We need to perform well together, like the characters Chachi and Joanie on TV.

Because she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni
We go together and complement each other well, like cheese and macaroni.

So why all the fight and why all the fuss
Why are people arguing and making a big deal out of small things?

Because I ain't got no dust
Because I don't have any drugs.

Yea, you know I'm getting silly
I'm getting a little crazy and wild.

I've got a grandma hazel and a grandma tilly
I have two grandmothers named Hazel and Tilly.

Grand royal prez and I'm also a member
I'm a member of the Grand Royal record label and it's like I'm a leader or president.

Born on the cusp in the month of November
I was born on the line between two astrological signs in November.

I do the patty duke in case you don't remember
I'm doing a dance called the Patty Duke, in case you don't know what it is.

Well, I freak a funky beat like the shit was in a blender
I make a funky and creative rhythm with my rap, like mixing things together in a blender.

Well, I'm long gone word is born
I'm really into the music and performing well, it's like I'm in a different world.

Don't need a mother fucking fool telling me right from wrong
I don't need anyone to tell me what's right or wrong, I'll figure it out myself.

I don't think I'm slick nor do I play like I'm hard
I don't think I'm sneaky or act like I'm tough or cool.

But I shall drive the lane like I was evan bernhard
Even though I'm not trying to be cool, I'll still perform well and with confidence like basketball player Evan Bernhard.

And I've working on my game because life is taxing
I'm improving my rapping skills and style because life can be difficult and tiring.

Got to get it together and see what's happening
I need to focus and pay attention to what's going on around me.

I go one two like my name was biz mark
I count and perform with rhythm like the musician Biz Markie.

But I had to do the shit just let me embark
But first I had to get started, give me a chance to perform.

On the lyric and the noun and the verb
I'm focusing on and using words, like a writer does.

Let's kick the shit off 'cause yo, I'm not the herb
Let's get started and make good music because I'm not inferior or uncool.

Well, it's not the herb but the spice with the flavor to spare
It's not something bad or uncool, but something good and flavorful.

Tho moog with the funk for your derriere
The music has a funky groove to make you dance.

While we're on that topic, yes I like to mention
Speaking of funky music, I want to bring up another thing I like.

When it comes to boning I'm representing
When it comes to sex, I'm good at it and proud of it.

Spacing, zoning, talkin' on the phone and
I'm getting lost in thought, and talking on the phone at the same time.

My brain is roaming and I don't know where it's going
My mind is wandering and I'm not sure what I'm thinking about.

Talking lots of shit a little tweaking on the weekend
I talk a lot of nonsense and maybe use drugs on the weekends.

I've got to get him by the reigns because I know that I'm freaking
I need to control my wild behavior because I know I'm acting crazy.

Well, I'm a funky skull and I'm a scorpio
I'm a creative person and I was born under the sign of Scorpio.

And when I get my flow I'm dr on the go
When I start rapping and performing well, I feel like I'm on drugs.

So q-tip, what you on the mic for
Q-Tip, why are you rapping right now?

Because I had to talk about the times that I rhyme
Because I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences through my music.

And when m.c.s come in my face, I'm like mace
When other rappers try to compete with me, I push them away like pepper spray (mace).

Because I back them off with the quills
Because I have a strong and creative style of rapping that sets me apart from others.

Nigga 'cause I tell you, nigga 'cause I'll keep you under prills
I'm saying this to emphasize the point and make sure you understand, I'll keep you listening to my music.

Resting on nine one one sixteenth ave off the farmes boulevard
I live on a specific street in New York City.

I'm from manhattan m.c.a.'s from brooklyn
I'm from Manhattan and MCA is from Brooklyn, different parts of NYC.

Yeah, m.c.a., your shit be cooking
MCA, your music is really good and impressive.

Praying mantis on the court and I can't be beat
I'm like a powerful and unbeatable praying mantis playing basketball.

So, yo tip, what's up with the boot on your feet
Q-Tip, why are you wearing those boots?

I've got the timbos on the toes and this is how it goes
I'm wearing Timberland boots and it's just part of my style.

Oh one two, oh my god
Oh, one two, this music is really great!

One two, oh my god, I've got some shit
This music is really amazing and exciting!

I've got the kung fu grip behind my green trap kit
I'm playing the drums and I'm really skilled and precise.

Never ever ever smoking crack
I never use drugs like crack.

Never ever ever fucking wack
I never do anything boring or uncool.

I eat the fuckin' pineapple now & laters
I like to eat candy called Pineapple Now & Laters.

Listen to me now, don't listen to me later
Pay attention to me and my music now, not later.

Fuck it 'cause I know I didn't make it fuckin' rhyme for real
I don't care if my lyrics aren't perfectly rhyming or grammatically correct.

But, yo technically I'm as hard as steel
But technically, I'm really impressive and powerful, like steel.

Gonna get it together, watch it, gonna get it together ma bell
I'm going to focus and improve my music, watch me do it, my friend.

I'm like ma bell, I've got the ill communications
I'm communicating through my music really well, like the phone company Ma Bell.
