 Yo, he wanna get involved with you

 Mr. S-A double-D-I-Q

 Yo, he wanna get involved with you

 Mr. S-A double-D-I-Q

 Yo he wanna get involved

 

 [Raphael Saadiq]

 Met this girl walking in the ghetto

 (Uh huh, uh huh)

 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, 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 uh)

 She was doin her best to try to hide her scars

 (Say come on now, what you say now)

 

 [Raphael Saadiq]

 2 - I don't really care

 About that there, just get involved

 Boy you, makin me feel, uh oh so real

 Just get involved

 

 [Raphael Saadiq]

 Everytime i take you around friends

 (Come on, everytime I take you around friends)

 I catch them looking at you love

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

 You know it never ever bothered me

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

 

 Repeat 2

 

 [Q-Tip]

 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

 

 Oh, oh, oh, oh

 

 Repeat 1
