Where have I been?
I've been wrapped up in bad decisions. I'm going away. Back to a place more familiar and safe. No ugly words or ugly acting people. Back to where peace doesn't require a request or collateral. Back to where I see me and not me surrounded by mayhem. All of that to say, I will abscond from time to time and if you want me, you know where to find me. Nodding my head to a QTIP flick, rocking with De La Soul, daydreaming, dancing, sweating, remembering, imagining, bopping to the 80s, and thinking about love again...hmmm...I am really feeling Tribe Called Quest again. Here are a few of the lyrics that I am diggin right now...For the sake of the JAM!
STRESSED OUT (Bjork say dip Mix)
[Phife]
Dundali, Dundalow, Dundli Dundalee
You know I look for trouble but trouble didn't follow me
All I wanted to be was an iller MC
Ever since nigga small as I grew up in Queens
What did you mosh of the Nontall (Holla Me!)
I turned my best friend Quaturem em head what I'd seen
And ever since that day (y'll hear me) things been a mess
R&B goes to rocky, true I tell and bless
So nowadays I go and see wifey just to kill me from stress
Lay my head on her breast, sugar definitely knows best
Explaining all my problems to her, gettin things off my chest
A lil hug up squeez up and no more I vent
Aiyo Sunny, without my peeps I'd be truely assed out
Making sure I have my lettercations so I wouldn't pass out
Native Tongues for believing in me when everyone was fessing
Most of Ja Mighty for the guidance and the blessings
I really know how it feels to be stressed out, stressed out
When you're face to face with your adversity
I really know how it feels to be stressed out, stressed out
We're gonna make this thing work out eventually
Come on baby we gonna make it (ohhhh)
Come on baby we gonna make it (Gonna make it)
Come on baby we gonna make it (ohhhhh)
We gonna make it
Come on we gonna make it (ohhh)
I know were gonna make it (We're gonna make it)
Come on baby we gonna make it (Gonna make it)
We gonna make it (Ohhh yeah)
Come on baby we gonna make it (Yeahhh baby)
We gonna make it (Gonna make it)
We gonna make it (Yeahhh)
I know were gonna make
Were gonna make it
Gonna make it
We gotta make it (Oh yeahhh)
You know we gotta make it
Artist: A Tribe Called Quest
Album: The Love Movement
Song: Common Ground (Get It Going On)
Q-Tip:
Who that at the door? (Yo, Tip, it's her)
What you doin here, in front of my face? (repeat 3X)
You didn't want my...you didn't want it
To go somewhere, you all on it
But if you want to, then you can come here
Come here, yo
Q-Tip:
Have you ever met a woman that just took your breath? (yeah, uh huh uh huh, yeah, uh huh)
So deep inside her life, she contemplated death (damn she deep, give a fella the creeps)
Can't help but get attatched to a woman like that (true dat(repeat 4X))
The contact was quite immediate, I had to attack
(Because you the man, yo, you know you the man)
We related and debated over food and tunes
Started out in September, now we enterin June (say word(repeat 4X))
Simple night in the crib, no, it just won't do
(no it just won't do, no it just won't do)
Because she liable to start shit that's wild for you
(wild for you, wild for...)
She wanna push my whip, buy diamond chips
And take on trips, conversin over flicks
Gotta do her hair, take her out to the fair
Win a teddy bear, make sure you don't stare
At another one comin, don't be startin nuthin
Be a slave to her, don't be brave to her
Make sure that she's right, make sure that you're wrong
When she wants to do it, make sure that it's long
If anyone wanna make it work it's me (Phife Dawg help me out(repeat 2X))
But we gotta come to a common ground baby
Any man, he can claim to be the one for you
But put it straight to your lover in life runs true
chorus:
And if it's me then let's get it going on (repeat 4X)
Get it going on, let's get it going on
Q-Tip:
Phife Dawg in the break, is she more than you can take?
Phife:
See, I'm not the one to be taken advantage of
And if you really think about it, I got nuthin but love
Now if your heart isn't in it, please let me know
There's no need to waste time, if it's no, then I'll go
chorus:
And if it's me then let's get it going on (repeat 4X)
WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN I JUST LIED ON THE FLOOR AND ALLOWED THE MUSIC TO TAKE MY THOUGHTS TO VARIOUS PLACES...I MISS TRIBE...MY FIRST ROAD TRIP ON MY OWN WAS TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AND I WAS ON FIRE IN THE FRONT ROW...WHAT HAPPENED? HIP HOP USED TO MOVE ME...
