"Baby Got Work" lyrics
Potatohead People & De La Soul Lyrics
(feat. Posdnuos & Kapok)
[Posdnuos:]
Standing on the birth of a movement
We are the inventors
Sons of the prodigal
Bigger than this check-one-two in it
Some step away from your view
We stay stuck in your face
Inside follicles and
Like eating Mofongo we stuffed in the jungle
Dog eat dog with no veg
We in the know without a ledge
Stood for a flag with no pledge
We were supposed to solve
Life puzzles but wouldn't even try
Went from
Highly evolved
To just being high
Practice moderation
Get your mind off of the couch
Work boots on
Boss man's here to vouch
A lot of brooms are needed
To clean up the ways
Of a world repeated
And trapped in a maze
We need to try to get past games
Do it for those with your face and your last name
[Kapok & Posdnuos:]
We don't have
Too much time
In this life
Can't rewind (What we got)
Yeah baby got work to do
Yeah baby got work to do
Let it spin
To the pulse
Feel it down
To your bones (Feel it y'all, what we got)
Yeah baby got work to do
Yeah baby got work to do
(We) We up all night
('Til) 'til I decide
(Work) The work is done
(Survive) Provide-the-vide
Yeah baby got work to do
Baby got work to do
(I said, we) We up all night
('Til) 'til I decide
(The work) The work is done
(It's the work) Provide-the-vide
Yeah baby got work to do
Baby got work to do
[Posdnuos:]
The language you speak in
Won't focus on weekends
Yeah, it's a plan y'all
We got work to do
We got work to do
No clock to punch in
No twelve o'clock lunch ins
I said, you understand y'all
We got work to do
We got work to do
No time to stay in bed
Stay in bed-in-with the hustle instead
Sandwich it between muscle and bread
(Perspiration)
On my apparel
Looks like I'm being worked
To the bone marrow
(The soil)
Is just as important as the seed
(So toil)
And you'll find a work
That will breed opportunity
And gain immunity from the dirt
But we just gotta work
[Kapok & Posdnuos:]
We don't have
Too much time
In this life
Can't rewind
(And what we got) Yeah baby got work to do
Yeah baby got work to do
Let it spin
To the pulse
Feel it down
To your bones
(Let's get to it y'all)
Yeah baby got work to do
Yeah baby got work to do
(We) We up all night
('Til) I decide
(Work) The work is done
(Provide) Provide-the-vide
(Yeah) Yeah baby got work to do
Baby got work to do
(I said, we) We up all night
('Til) 'til I decide
(The work) The work is done
(Work y'all) Provide-the-vide
Yeah baby got work to do
Baby got work to do
Standing on the birth of a movement
We are the inventors
Sons of the prodigal
Bigger than this check-one-two in it
Some step away from your view
We stay stuck in your face

Like eating Mofongo we stuffed in the jungle
