(Q-Tip) Ummah, Ummah, Ummah

(1) S-A double D-I-Q

Yo, he wanna get involved with you (4x)



Met this girl walking in the ghetto

Looking good but looking down

(what's you say, come on by)

Said she needed inspiration

(what'd you say)

I said, 'Get yo shit cause we're goin uptown'

(uptown, baby, uptown, say what)

I could tell she was feelin better

(yeah, come on, yeah)

When she got inside the car

(when she got inside the car)

She was a dark skinned girl with pretty cornrows (uh huh)

She was doin her best to try to hide her scars

(say come on now, what you say now)



(2) I don't really care

About that there, just get involved

Boy you, makin me feel, uh oh so real

Just get involved



Eveytime I take you around friends

(come on, everytime I take you around friends)

I catch them lookin at you love

(lookin' at you love, lookin' at you like that)

You know it never ever bothered me

Because I know that I'm the one you're thinking of



REPEAT 2



Word up, word up, word up yo

Raphael just stopped in his tracks

Get involved and make it into the pack

You know the way that you present your thing

We in the belly so we might as well cling

The way you shine shorty you da shit

The princess in the pauper pit

We may be poor but we rich in soul

Just get involved and get in control

Just get involved and get in control

you know the way we do it, yo we roll



REPEAT 1
