[Chorus]
Uh, wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up
(What we doin'?)
I said wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up

[Verse 1: Humble Abdul & Ya'koob]
Madri sh3abalik
But I use my second language so all of y'all understand us, ayy
Came from the desert, akhi
Drillin' for oil
The pollution has got us smokin'
The news made all the immigrants move
And now the world is watchin'
Arab with an attitude dressed like Qadaffi
Asalaam Alaykum like Muhammad Ali
Me and my brother, we're like Shaq and Kobe
Tell 'em where we come from, they islamophobic
You got Wiz Khalifa, Mia Khalifa, but no caliphates
They only wanna check my bags, Muslim on the plane
Even when I'm grocery shoppin', I'm still a target, man
They label me a boogieman, then they make a Muslim ban, damn
I'm not a terrorist, I'm a tourist
Soon as they find out I'm an Arab, they start jumpin' to conclusions
Hand me the bag, Fauré Le Page
Just got back from Hajj, feel like Malik Shabazz
[Chorus]
Wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up
(What we doin'?)
Wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up
(What we doin'?)

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
Walkin' the block with a bop 'cause I'm caught in the beat
Old lady clutchin' her pearls so watch her crossin' the street
This Black power so awesome to see
My man's sister got 'em switchin' up
These coon-ass n***as see 'em bitchin' up
Respectability don't stop a cop who wanna shoot
They killed Martin Luther in his civil rights suit
The ego has an appetite for its own version of the truth
Your absence of evidence not proof
These bars is empirical and harder than a criminal
Far-sided bubble never subtle or subliminal
These artists is far too cynical to be spiritual
You don't really get it though, your thinkin' never critical
Strong man arguments, dissonance is cognitive
These consequences require fixes like Ray Donovan
I never use the language of oppressors and the conquerors
A task tell the tales of a crimes like Eastern promises
[Chorus]
Wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up
(Uh, uh, uh, what we doin'?)
Wait a minute, slow down
We can go later
We can go lay down
We can go way up
