A Tribe Called Quest Push It Along lyrics

Q-tip is my title, I don't think that is vital for me to be your idol
But dig this recital if you can't envision a brother who ain't dissin'
Slingin' this and that 'cause this and that was missin'
Instead, it's been injected, the tribe has been perfected
Oh yes, it's been selected, the art makes it protected
Afrocentric livin', Africans be givin'
A lot to the cause 'cause the cause has been risen

Some brothers, they be flammin' thinkin' we ain't slammin'
Comin' off like the days when we used to wear the tans and
A blue-collar talker, a hemisphere stalker
A glass of O.J and a ten mile walk-a
If you're in a jeep and you dig what you're hearin'
Can I get a beep and a sour odor of cheerin'?

I am what I am, that's a tribal man
We all know the colors, we all must stand
As we start our travels things they will unravel
Que Sera Sera, for this unit is like Gravel
Won't be gone for long, listen to the song
If you can't pull it all you gotta do is

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along

Put one up for the Pfeife, it's time to decipher
The ills of the world make the situation lighter
The clock is always tickin', the systems should be kickin'
Like tips ham and eggs, I eat chicken, chicken, chicken
Should I release the lever, the lever of the clever
Embellish on the funk as we start to endeavor?
The wraughts of the rap filling up the gap
With the smash of a hand and a little toe tap

The boom, the bip, the boom bip
Indicates to the brothers that we be on the flip tip
Phonies start to crumble, funky rhythm rumbles
Through the dance-hall but my anthem is humble
It's the nitty-gritty, my time is itty-bitty
So I kick the slash for the gipper and the witty

This ain't trial and error, more like tribe and error
Constantly rude as some sort of tribal terror

The street can't depart from the bloody heart
Repair the wear and tear, don't start 'fore it starts
Won't be gone for long, listen to the song
If you can't pull it all you gotta do is

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along

Marchin' off the project, we hope that you will subject
It's good to be an object and never, ever reject
The tribe who meanders with drunken propaganda
Keep it in boom and never will we slander
We damn should be handed, don't let me demand it
Money gives a nudge to the poet star bandit
Control it, then recluse it, follow, you won't lose it
Mysterious is the tribe for we choose it

Although she's flippin' crazy, give my love to Gracy
God, could You help 'cause this quest is crazy spacey?
The pigs are wearin' blue and in a year or two
We'll be goin' up the creek in a great big canoe
What we gonna do, save me and my brothers?
Hop inside the bed and pull over the covers

Never will we do that and we ain't tryin' to rule that
We just want a slab of the ham, don't you know, Black?
This society, a fake reality
I'm nothin' but a peg of informality
While I sing my song, sing it all day long
If you can't pull it all you gotta do is

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along

Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
Push it along, push it along
Push it along, yeah, push it along
