Push It Along - A Tribe Called Quest

Written by：Kamaal Fareed/Ali Shaheed Muhammad

Q-tip is my title I don't think that it's vital

For me to be your idol but dig this recital

If you can't envision a brother who ain't dissing

Slinging this and that cause this and that was missing

Instead it's been injectedthe tribe has been perfected

Oh yes it's been selected the art makes it protected

Afrocentric living Africans be giving

A lot to the cause cause the cause has been risen

Some brothers they be flamming thinking we ain't slamming

Coming off like the days where we used to wear the tans and

A blue-collar talker a hemisphere stalker

A glass of OJ and a ten mile walk a

If you're in a Jeep and you dig what you're hearing

Can I get a beep and a side order of cheering

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 ya 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 Phiferi it's time to decipher

The ills of the world make the situation lighter

The clock is always ticking the systems should be kicking

Like tip said in 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 roots 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 tribing era

Constantly rude as some sort of tribal terror

The street can't depart from the bloody heart

Repair the wear and tear don't stop for it starts

Won't be gone for long listen to the song

If you can't pull it all ya 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

Marching 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

Redeems 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 flipping crazy give my love to Gracy

God could you help cause this quest is crazy spacey

The pigs are wearing blueand in a year or two

We'll be going 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 trying to rule that

We just want a slab of the ham don't you know black

This society of fake reality

Are nothing but a peg of informality

While I sing my song sing it all day long

If you can't pull it all ya 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
