[Intro: Jessica Rivera] "Hmmm, so you're the one they're talkin' about Let me see if this is real."
[Verse 1: Q-Tip] When I do it, eyes lookin' at me when the Music should be the only thing you see It's the score to a cinematic oddity Lettin' off shit, hit your ass repeatedly Acrobatic, wha I'll pull something through your chest-piece Before she came home, pit-stopped breast be Watched the movie, and smoked a philly and Took a hit of D. She actin' all silly and... I pull the brothers in depressed situations When the thang hit the 'phere, we risin' up to the occassion You're killin' me wit' petty, little rap beef 'No fingerprints' is how my expert-ass be While I'm at it, I'mma stand my ground righthere Spotlight, where the chicks is found You see this little-ass club we in? Yo, it's Mine, intertwine, wink your bun, do it to the drum
[Interlude: Jessica Rivera] "Yeah, that's alright But I know you can do better than that! C'mon, come harder!"
[Verse 2: Q-Tip] Aiiight then I guess we stand the same ground, same Page and wanna freak shit I wanna eat it, watch you beat it, cum reaal hard than repeatin' Yo! The frivolous rap song he rap about is no good Remove all the crap about my dogs is all in for the national No passion, then I guess they be cashin' out I keep my eyes on things and I keep my shine on BLING! My peoples ain't nothin' to toy wit' Professional, leavin' a boy stiff You doin' all while you're really talkin' You need to get gun or get walkin' This greedy-ass country we in? I guess it's Mine, intertwine, wink ya bun, do it to the drum
[Chorus: Jessica Rivera & Q-Tip] (3x) What 'chu really wanna do? I wanna really do it right What 'chu really wanna do? Grab ya hands, hug ya tight For real? For real Well, what 'chu feel? Well, what 'chu feel? We can... Do it. Do it. Do it Do it. Do it. Uh Do it. Do it Do it. Do it Do it. Do it Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it
“Do It” is a party-ready, flirtatious album track from Q-Tip’s debut album Amplified. The uptempo song with its latin guitar motif and female call-and-response hook wouldn’t have been out of place next to chart hits like Eve’s “Who’s That Girl” (2001) or Ja Rule’s “Between Me and You” (2000). Perhaps the track was just a bit ahead of its time, or as many complained, too commercial and jarringly different from what A Tribe Called Quest fans would have expected of Q-Tip.
