Tony Smalios - Get a Hold lyrics

[Intro] Drifting back... suddenly Drifting back (just) suddenly Drifting back (just) suddenly [Verse 1: Q-Tip] The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning We always hitting, so yo, there'll be no extra innings As I send the mic out the park like Reggie Jackson You be the minor leaguer who sees no action The coming attraction, what, the main feature And I'mma greet ya, like a rhyming a** creature Lurking all up in the dark, unknown parts The brother well prepared is the brother who will start And that's me Akki, as long as the ladies move they bodies We'll have a forum to stand Cause that happens to be the nature of man Sexuality, it is the format baby Ain't no ifs, no buts, no ands, or maybes But I praise the Lord of the worlds that's unseen Respect me for that and let me do my thing I said, respect me for that and let me do my thing [Hook] You know we gotta get a hold Over the illest drum rolls [Verse 2: Q-Tip] Yo, how you doing? Let me give you an intro My name's the Abstract, now let me give you some info Got the diamond in the back and the sunroof sh** That makes the hardcore MC's resort to being b**h And I don't give a sh** about being wild rich Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it Your lust for the riches make a n***a feel sick Down to his zealots, upchuck and then spit Denouncing my beliefs, well then your wig get split Lay your egos on the ground so that you'll benefit You can take these words and relay it to your clique Take some time for your mind and get off them head trips Don't try to play me, see my name's not Dick The Tribe is the crew that makes the mics get lit Like the Fourth of July on some firework sh** My record company be on some true jerk sh** But that's aight, now, I'm on some true work sh** And I'mma make it happen for my whole outfit [Hook] You know we gotta get a hold Over the illest drum rolls [Verse 3: Q-Tip] A-yo, we just getting started, got to redirect this vision Got the beauty of a flower plus dimensions like a prism Your minds are locked down like prison Y'all really need to go lay down cause positivity has risen We hitting, yo bust how we too strong to be broken Occasional malfunction pressure time, we ain't joking For security, yo we on this run like Logan Kamaal's doing the hustle and you backstage vogueing We all got faults, don't ever try to think that you perfect We all are human beings, there's bullsh** at the surface Sometimes, I mean we rhyme, damn, we ain't prophets And if you think so, you need to stop it So jump back inside your shell Let your million dollar thoughts propel but next man don't get jel Playa hate that all carries weight that we don't need We slim with disabilities and thick with possibilities Cause then you can't move with agility Navigating with good visibility We put these tunes out in record shop facilities And strive to get this constant money activity We try to stay on the scene like Fidel So if you get enraged with these names it still ring bells There ain't no plan B's, yo watch, we moving through with plan A Money market doing things the right way [Hook] You know we gotta get a hold Over the illest drum rolls [Outro: Q-Tip] Yo bust it out section, section Section Linden Boulevard Section on Merrick Section the whole Jamaica Section on Flushing Section in Bed-Stiduy
