Lyrics A Tribe Called Quest

A Tribe Called Quest

The Space Program

(I'mma deal with a bigger insult, man

The heat, the heat, the heat, the heat…

It's comin' down hard

We've got to get our shit together)

It's time to go left and not right

Gotta get it together forever

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Let's get it together, come on, let's make it

Gotta make it to make it to make it to make it

To make something happen, to make something happen

To make something happen, let's make something happen

Word to Phife, we're gonna bring it to the overlord

Drinkin' Sisqo chilling with the gold microphone cords

And we grip our balls every time we stuntin' on tour

'Cause we never bored, respond until the ready crowds roar

And promoters try to hit us with the art of war

We about our business, we not quitters, not bullshitters, we deliver

We go-getters, don't be bitter 'cause we not just niggas

Jarobi might fire off into different cloth

Ain't nothing forbidden is hittin' off

Hardest spitting, this sit-in will make you kitten-soft

Confused and amazed ya brain, lost our planet for our future people

None of our people involved

Pouring Henny and Smirnoff to get it cracking off

Cracking off a Smirnoff to quickly turn to Molotov

Molotov the spaceship though before that bitch is taking off

It always seems the poorest persons are people forsaken, dawg

No Washingtons, Jeffersons, Jacksons on the captain's log

They'd rather lead us to the grave, water poisoned, deadly smog

Mass un-blackening, it's happening, you feel it y'all?

They'd rather see we in a three-by-three structure with many bars

Leave us where we are so they can play among the stars

We're taking off to Mars, got the space vessels overflowing

What, you think they want us there? All us niggas not going

Reputation ain't glowing, reparations ain't flowing

If you find yourself stuck in the quick, you better start rowing

Used to see the TV screen as the place I'd land my dream

And the car stereo where they would promote the show

Optimistic flow, brother really know

There ain't a space program for niggas

Yeah, you stuck here, nigga

There ain't a space program for niggas

Yeah, you stuck here nigga

There ain't a space program for niggas

Yeah, you stuck here, nigga

There ain't a space program for niggas

Yeah, you stuck, stuck, stuck

Sit and wonder sometimes, I read the paper every day

All these happenings is circular, just happen different ways

And the present is refined, in her wings she's confined

With about thirty Percocets and five bottles of wine

Caroline ain't nothing finer than a Black woman who climbs

To the top of the State building claiming that the flag is mine

Now, people on top of people, feels like we can't breathe

Put so much in this muthaf**ka, feel like we should lead

Put it on TV, put it in movies, put it in our face

These notions and ideas and citizens live in this age

I chuckle just like all of y'all, absurdity, after all

Takes money to get it running and money for trees to fall

Imagine for a second all the people are colored, please

Imagine for a second all the people in poverty

No matter the skin tone, culture or time zone

Think the ones who got it would even think to throw you a bone?

Moved you out your neighbourhood, did they find you a home?

Not safer, probly no place to

Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude

Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude

Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude

Tryna go left and not right

Gotta get it together forever

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Make, make, make

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Gotta get it together forever

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Make, make, make

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Gotta get it together forever

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Gotta get it together for brothers

Gotta get it together for sisters

For mothers and fathers and dead niggas

For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters

For Tyson types and Che figures

Make, make, make

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

Let's make somethin' happen, let's make somethin' happen

The danger must be growing, for the rowers keep on rowing

And they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing!

We're there

Where?

Here

A small step for mankind

But a giant step for us

Oompa, loompa, doopa dee doo

I've got another puzzle for you
