Lyrics Make It Work - Q-Tip

My saga goes on as I romance the song
Original hip-hop cat shorty push on
I could reminisce back to a sunnier day
Where everybody shot fives
And when you shook and push paint
Get off the back seat and activate your feet
Because the focus of the mission
Is the rhythm and the beat
Not concentrating on the character assassination
Or the influx of money from negotiation
You're listening to one of the last lights glowing
Who can hear the sharp F and still keep shit flowing
Really dig, let me give myself a plug here
It's Q-Tip here to service every plug there
And introduce to you all a brand new sound to pound
Lush, fortify and revitalize your crown
Life is but a dream
And as the music is streamed
Let it work inside of you
Into reality's thing
Do your thing

We are gonna make it work
Make it work
Listen to Kurt's work, baby

Like a genie, if you rub me right, you'll get things
Not a hungry ass rapper, with some grind inventive things
I'mma concentrate on building up the repertoire
Eventually inviting all of y'all to the seminar
Where you can sit down and extinguish your trite beats
It's Rainbow
Collate and implement peace
I breathe in myth and exhale truth
Standing out in the industry
And plus I'm aloof
I'm about to bring it to you in a better band
You can catch us 1nce again on David Letterman
I could make it right, lady
Let's become sticky miss
Just because I'm Muslim
Does that put me on your wanted list?
Government games and corporate gaze
Wanna see an underprivileged man crumble in pain
Wanna see every race become separate and vain
But I'm telling you, man
Bring bring about a change
Plus I see you mami as you're dancing
You can chance and
Your life could end
Connect to your deeper friend
To artists abroad, this art is a bore
With a brand new vision
Come and get it while it's given
I got my focus on
I keeps my chi strong
We gonna make this motherfucker bang real long
The uprising of the positive inquisitive
In spirit, we're derivative
Praise it and we let it live

We are gonna make it work
Tell them we gon' make it work
Still we gonna make it work
Chris, we gonna make it work
Park we gonna make it work
Shaka, we gon' make it work
Nitro, we gon' make it work
Kiana, we gon' make it work
Yes we gonna make it work
Aisha, we gon' make it work
Son, we gonna make it work
Mama, we gon' make it work
Everybody, we gon' make it work
Everybody, we gon' make it work
Everybody, we gon' make it work
