A Tribe Called Quest
How Ya Niggas Get Down
[Intro]
From Brooklyn town all the way to Troy New York
Tell me Asoh don't got that fire to spark it off
From Brooklyn town all the way to Troy New York
Tell me Asoh don't got that fire
[Verse]
Left foot, right foot
Baby show me motion
Frankly I'm just trynna fit my future in your ocean
See, the way your body switch put me in a trance
Fuck a face, cupid never aims whenever he lands
I can prove your old man was a nuisance
She said don't go playing games
So I said baby just dance
She said, born and raised in Illinois
So I am hella shy but show me how your sons get down with these Brooklynites
I can tell that I hooked your eyes
So say goodbye to your innocence
Cause you might have to mourn tonight
Rest assure
Like veterans of dying wars
Mistake me as a pussy and I'll lead to the demise of yours
Rewind the clock when bitches never spared me lanes for striking
Now bitches fight to throw the box
Cause when a n***a grab the mic
That shit is so enticing
Juat thank the dice man
Cause even I didn't see the odds of a n***a like me just rising
But I guess God had a plan for this man
So imma raise hell even if Satan's snakes give a damn
I'm out for presidents to aid me till I'm pinned
But if you n***as think I'm too sick
Tell Monroe to bring the doctor in
Show me how me how your n***as get down
And imma show you how clowned
Right quick
Fuck your brand and fuck your clique
Been controlling the remote since 1996
I am, the only man that can but won't grow
Born 19 nineteen years ago
Yet it still seems my only goal is to break walls and bust flows
I been laid in underground for way too long
At some point I gotta blow
[Hook]
This club was packed but it just got warmer
I been peeped your ass standing in the corner
But hold up wait a minute Mr. Smoke, slow your roll
Cause before I take you home
I'mma need your ass to show..
Can you show me how you n***as get down (hey)
Show em how you get down baby x 4
Move your body (repeatedly)
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
[Verse 2]
Look, turn me up
I bring beats back just to consume while I kill
Turning all these 90's tracks into treadmills
And who would've thought that Brooklyn kid from the east side
Could turn being a square into a cube
And have a different talent for each side
Baby be wise
Cause these dog ass n***as like to howl when the moonshine
Intertwine your vibes with mine
Ever since the greeting
I foresaw us having many good nights
Don't be shy cause I'll treat you right
Guarantee the memories of other lovers will be left aside
And that's word to the motherfucking wise
Laid an owl out until he told my where my tootsie pop lied
[Hook]
[Outro] (Marquis Francis)
From Brooklyn town all the way to Troy New York
Tell me Asoh don't got that fire to spark it off x 5
(Yo Asoh, this shit is fire b
They not hearing this)
