The Space Program (Explicit)

The Space Program - A Tribe Called Quest
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 sh*t 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 conformists one hitter 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 phifer
Gonna bring it to the overlord drinkin' Cisco
Chilling with the gold microphone cords
And we grip our balls every time we stuntin' on tour
'Cause we never bore responding to the ready crowd's 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 get it
Don't be bitter 'cause we not just niggas
Jarobi my fiber wove into different cloth
Ain't nothing forbidden this ni**a get his written off
Hardest spit in the city y'all niggas spitting kitten soft
Confused and amazed shook up with your brain missing lost
They planning 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 doors before that b**ch is taking off
It always seems the poorest persons
Are people forsaken dawg
Washingtons Jeffersons Jacksons
On the captain's log
They'd rather lead us to the grayest water poison deadly smog
Mass un blackening it's happening you feel it y'all
Rather see we in a three by three structure with many bars
Leave us where we are so they can play among the stars
They 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 a creek you better start rowing
Used to see the TV screen as the place to land my dream in
And the car stereo where they would promote the show
Optimistic little brother with a hope you know
There ain't a space program for niggas
Yeah you stuck here ni**a
Move on to the stars
There ain't a space program for niggas
Yeah you stuck here ni**a
Move on to the stars
There ain't a space program for niggas
Yeah you stuck here ni**a
Move on to the stars
There ain't a space program for niggas
Yeah you stuck stuck stuck
Move on to the stars
Sit and wonder sometimes I read the paper every day
All these happenings is cycular just happen different ways
And the president's refined in her wing she's confined
With about thirty Percocets and five bottles of wine
Carolina nothing finer than a black woman who climbs
To the top of the state building claiming that that flag is mine
Now people on top of people feels like we can't breathe
Put so much in this muthaf**k feel like we shouldn't leave
Put it on TV put it in movies put it in our face
These notions and ideas and citizens live in space
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 one second all the people are colored please
Imagine for one 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
Nah cypher probably no place to
Imagine if this sh*t was really talkin' about space dude
Imagine if this sh*t was really talkin' about space dude
Move on to the stars
Move on to the stars
Time to go left and not right
Gotta get it together forever
Move on to the stars
Gotta get it together for brothers
Gotta get it together for sisters
Move on to the stars
For mothers and fathers and dead niggas
For non conformers won't hear the quitters
Move on to the stars
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
Move on to the stars
Gotta get it together for brothers
Gotta get it together for sisters
Move on to the stars
For mothers and fathers and dead niggas
For non conformists one hitter 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 conformists one hitter 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 conformists one hitter 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
Move on to the stars
Gotta get it together forever
Gotta get it together for brothers
Move on to the stars

Let's make somethin' happen let's make somethin' happen
Let's make somethin' happen let's make somethin' happen
Move on to the stars
Move on to the stars
Move on to the stars
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
