Get A Hold

Lyrics

Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting
 Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting back suddenly
 Drifting back (just) suddenly
 Drifting back (just) suddenly
 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'ma greet ya, like a rhyming ass 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
 (Drifting back) you know we gotta get a hold (suddenly) over the illest drum rolls
 Suddenly, drifting back (just)
 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 shit
 That makes the hardcore MC's resort to being bitch
 And I don't give a shit about being wild rich
 Just make me comfortable and I'll deal with it
 Your lust for the riches make a nigga 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 shit
 My record company be on some true jerk shit
 But that's a'ight, now, I'm on some true work shit
 And I'ma make it happen for my whole outfit
 (Drifting back) you know we gotta get control (suddenly) over the illest drum rolls
 Suddenly, drifting back (just)
 Ayo, 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 bullshit 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
 (Suddenly) you know we gotta get control (drifting back) over the illest drum rolls
 (Suddenly) you know we gotta get control (drifting back) over the illest drum rolls
 (Suddenly, drifting back) yo, bust it out section, section
 (Suddenly, just) section Linden Boulevard
 (Suddenly, just) section on Merrick
 Section the whole Jamaica (drifting back)
 Section on Flushing
 Section in Bed-Stiduy
