[Intro: Black Thought]
Uh (Go on, girl)
We gettin' started

[Chorus: D'Angelo, Black Thought]
Comin' to break you off (We gettin' start-started)
(We gettin' started, we) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, we gettin' start-started)
Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, comin' to break you, uh)

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Bad Misses, Throwin raspberry kisses on me
You looking for direction
Girl, I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin'
We ain't s'posed to be involved
Knowin' when we get it off, girl, I mean it all
Keepin' you fiendin' 'til you taking it tossed
And when I'm breakin' it off
It's no denying the fact it's wrong
'Cause you got a man who's probably playing his part
You probably breakin' his heart
He trying to figure the reason you're gone
Is it because he's superficial
Or is he too submissive
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?
Or is it 'cause you really couldn't see a future with him?
All he 'bout is paper, never took the time with you to listen
You want it gripped up, flipped, and thrown
And get stripped and shown the way to get in the zone
Of course, dealing with this you won't be takin' a loss
You need to leave him alone
And roll with the one who breakin' you off
We gettin' started, girl
[Chorus: D'Angelo, Black Thought]
Comin' to break you off (We gettin' start-started)
(We gettin' started, we) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, yeah, we gettin' start-started)
Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, comin' to break you) Off
(Come on, work with me) Comin' to break you off
(Come on, work with me; come on and work it out)
Comin' to break you off (Come on and work it out)
(Come on, work with me, we gettin' started) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, we comin' to break you off)

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Rollin' down the highway
Listenin' to Sade sing
"The way the smooth operator move my way"
You sittin' beside me
Looking like Friday Foster
Pam Grier structure, look at your body
Keep each other thirsty
Kisses like Hershey but lips are sealed
'Cause we don't need the controversy
I say I'm in town, you say you want it in the worst way
You probably told your man it was your it was Jamila birthday
Meanwhile, it's champagne chillin' in ice
You ready for the freakiest things you done in ya life
We breakin' down like we road dogs pullin' a heist
You makin' sounds like the vibe got you reaching your height
Prepare for flight, this is your captain, I'm getting strapped in
There's no denying the strength of this attraction, girl
Workin' with this you won't be takin' a loss
So stop fooling your man and roll with the one who's breakin' you off
We're gettin' started
[Bridge: D'Angelo, Black Thought]
Baby, baby, baby, you know I turn you out
Baby, baby, baby, finna end your drought
'Cause I'm the man with the magic wand
And I'll turn all your faucets on
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
(We gettin' started)

[Chorus: D'Angelo, Black Thought]
Comin' to break you off (Girl, we gettin' start-started)
(We gettin', we) Comin' to break you off
(For real, uh, girl, we gettin' start-started)
Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started, comin' to break you) Off
(Come on, work with me) Comin' to break you off
(Come on, work with me; come on and work it out)
Comin' to break you off (Come on and work it out)
(Come on, work with me, we gettin' started, say what)
Comin' to break you off
(Uh, say what? We gettin' start-started, comin' to break you, uh)

[Outro: D'Angelo, Black Thought]
(We gettin' started) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' start-started)
(We gettin'started, we) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' started) Comin' to break you off
(We gettin' start-started, we gettin' started, comin' to break you off)
Off
(Come on, work with me) Comin' to break you off
(Come on and work it out; come on, work with me)
Comin' to break you off (We're here to break it off)
Comin' to break you off (Come on, work with me)
I'm comin' to break you off (We gettin' started, started, started, started, comin' to break you, uh)
Off (Come on, work with me)
Comin' to break you off (Come on, work with me)
I'm comin' to break you off (Come on and work it out)
Comin' to break you off (Comin' to break it off, we're gettin' started)
I'm comin' to break you off (Say what? We're gettin' started)
