A Tribe Called Quest: Footprint - Tekst piosenki

As we start trudgin' Me and my brothas we be lookin' and be buggin'Vehicles of life they be rollin' and be mergin'Searchin' for the virgins of lifeThey'll be shovin' out the door of that's crackThe valley's of time, are always on my feet As least the beat will combine The calluses and corns with the funky bassline You don't need underdog for a nickel shoeshine or the shoes that's phatWell can I get a level on the bass and on the trebleFootin' up and down like a UNLV RebelThe answer be amoungst us, well we rarely dig acousticsCan't be too much flackin', not too much packin'You must contain in that at least to dip your hip in rap Your feet will be infectious so at least realise the fact The rhythms are insertive and the nurse can be convertedThis ain't rock 'n' roll cos the rap is in controlIf your a megastar would you buy you a car?I'd rather go barefootin', for prints I will be puttin' All over the earth if we can get there firstNow that we are in it, Footprints will be imprintedSo if you recognise em', you can try to size em'They'll probably be the one's with the size now flyin'All over the field, you won't have to yield If you want protection you can hide behind the shield [Q-TIP]You can gain on the gallons if you really need to rockLook we walk while we talk as we stompin' through the blockHand in hand cross the land as Muhammad cross the fade It's a Tribe who meanders, precious like a jade It's a art, Theo arch rhymes the ground their placed uponThe mind will unwind, it will soft to beyond Catch the track, track by track, get a map to track a trailYou will find yourself behind for a map does not prevailSee the levels peakin' as the rhythms keep a screechin'A Quest, oh yes a Quest, inside the jam I will keep preachin'The point, oh yes the point, because it's close but yet so farThe loudiness is ringin' as we scoot across the starWe are bulgin' I'm indulgin' in a rat-a-tat-tatExplanation for the liners that the rhythm is phatKeep it wild, wide and deep, you can dig it in a jeepBut dig it in the ground because your foot print now[Q-TIP]If there's a storm that's brewin', it won't keep us from doin'our thing as we start swingin', travellin' is bringin'joy inside the domes as we hit the road to roamA chair is not a chair, a house is not a home Because my skin is brown, yo' I'm gonna' do the townRub it in the face and rub my feet all through the place When you get your finger on the music it'll linga'Sing a song o' sixpence, sing it like a singa'A Nubian, a Nubian, a proud one at thatRemember me the brotha' who said "Black is Black"You can come while we quest, I don't play, I don't justGet emotions off your chest, we are black, we the bestMakin' moves, makin' motions, flowin' like an oceanThe walkin' will continue, we know that we will bring youThe times that you have waited, long anticipatedBe gone but not for long because the feet will stay strong
