Common ground


Q-tip:
Who that at the door? (yo, tip, its her)
What you doin here, in front of my face? (repeat 3x)
You didnt want my...you didnt want it
To go somewhere, you all on it
But if you want to, then you can come here
Come here, yo

Q-tip:
Have you ever met a woman that just took your breath?
So deep inside her life, she contemplated death
Cant help but get attatched to a woman like that (true dat)(repeat 4x)
The contact was quite immediate, I had to attack
(because you the man, yo, you know you the man)
We related and debated over food and tunes
Started out in september, now we enterin june (say word)(repeat 4x)
Simple night in the crib, no, it just wont do
(no it just wont do, no it just wont do)
Because she liable to start shit thats wildin you
(wildin you, wildin...)
She wanna push my whip, buy diamond chips
And take on trips, conversin my flip
Gotta do her hair, take her out to the fair
When a jake be there, make sure you dont stare
At another one comin, dont be startin nuthin
Be a slave to her, dont be brave to her
Make sure that shes right, make sure that youre wrong
When she wants to do it, make sure that its long
F anyone wanna make it work its me (phife dawg help me out)(repeat 2x)
But we gotta come through with common ground baby
Any man, he can claim to be the one for you
But put it straight to your lover in life runs true

Chorus:
And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 4x)
Get it going on, lets get it going on
And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 2x)

Q-tip:
Phife dawg in the break, is she more than you can take?

Phife:
See, Im not the one to be taken advantage of
And if you really think about it, I got nuthin but love
Now if your heart isnt in it, please let me know
Theres no need to waste time, if its no, then Ill go

Chorus:
And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 4x)
Get it going on, lets get it going on
And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 2x)
Get it going on, lets get it going on

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

A Tribe Called Quest is an American hip hop group formed in 1988 in Queens, New York. Composed of Q-Tip (MC), Phife Dawg (MC) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (producer), the group has released five studio albums, of which the first three were met with critical acclaim and had a significant influence on the hip hop scene of the 1990s. Their debut album, *People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm* (1990), did not initially achieve commercial success and received mixed reviews. However, over time it has been recognized as a seminal album in the genre, thanks to tracks like "Can I Kick It?", which achieved popularity beyond the hip hop scene. Other important albums include *The Low End Theory* (1991) and *Midnight Marauders* (1993), both considered masterpieces of the genre. A Tribe Called Quest was an innovative group, known for its jazz-influenced sound, intelligent rhymes and socially conscious lyrics.
