We Can Get Down A Tribe Called Quest

[Intro]
Down-down

[Chorus]
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down (Why waste time on the microphone?)
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down
We can get down, we can-we can get down (Aww)
It's like that, man, it's like that (Yes)
It's like that, man, it's like that (Yes)
It's like that, man, it's like that (Yes)
It's like that, man, it's like that (Why waste time on the microphone?), check it

[Verse 1: Phife Dawg]
I'm not your average MC with the Joe Schmoe flow
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know
Steppin' on my critics, beatin' all my foes
The plan is to stay focused, only then I can grow
Straight from the heart, I represent hip-hop
I be three albums deep, but I don't wanna go pop
Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top
Too much candy is no good, so now I'm closin' the shop
Crushin' competition like Italians on grapes
My rhymes styles be blendin' like a Ron G tape
My man, where ya goin'? You can't escape
When the Tribe is in the house, that means nobody is safe
How can a reverend preach, when a rev' can't define
The music of our youth from 1979?
We rap 'bout what we see, meanin' reality
From people bustin' caps and like Mandela bein' free
Not every MC be with the negativity
We have a slew of rappers pushin' positivity
Hip-hop will never die, yo, it's all about the rap
So Mayor Barry smokin' crack, let's preach about that
The trash you talk won't matter, that old bogus chatter
The more that you condemn us, it only makes us phatter
When I talk, I know I'm talkin' for hip-hoppers all around
You know you love the sound, we gets down
