Air Force Ones

(album: Nellyville - 2002)

Big boys

(I said) give me two pairs
('Cause) I need two pairs
(So I) can get to stomping in my Air Force Ones
Big boys stomping in my Air Force Ones

[Nelly:]
I like the all-white, high-top strap with the gum bottom
There's something about 'em, now dirty that's why I got 'em
I leave 'em strapped and laced and come up out 'em
The last person that touched 'em I damn near shot 'em

[Kyjuan:]
Now if you look, and see lime-green Forces; it's Kiwi
You couldn't get this color if you had a personal genie
You know I keeps it hip-hop; may niggas flip-flop
Yeah, my Force Ones in tip-top (me) now form a flip flops

[Ali:]
Me? I like the limited edition in khaki and army green
Patent leather pin stripe you should see how I do the strings
Size twelve with the strap, red and white with a Cardinal cap
All flavors but it just depend on when and where I'm at

[Murphy Lee:]
Don't get me wrong, man
Now Murphy Lee ain't dumb, man
'Cause if the shoe is on the shelf
You should have some, man
You can not sit up and tell me that you have none, man
You may not have three or four
But you got one, man (big boy)

(I said) give me two pairs
('Cause) I need two pairs
(So I) can get to stomping in my Air Force Ones
Big boys stomping in my Air Force Ones

We up in Foot Locker; I'm looking like I need those
Ten in a half and if you got 'em give me two of those
I can tell she never seen Murphy Lee befo'
'Cause she's just standing there as if I'm shooting free throws
I said, "Excuse me miss I only wanna buy shoes"
She said, "I love you Murph, especially in the white 'n blue"
I said, "The white 'n blue sound nice make it twice"
And I signed an (yo) autograph (yo), "Thanks for the advice"

[Ali:]
I keep it real dirty, dirty you know how I do
Purple in gold with the Lakers, the Broncos, the orange and blue
I like 'em floppy with ankle socks
Lows mids and high tops, which the clear sole
But it's Timbs and fat laces when it's cold
But when the winter go (burrr) and the hot summer flow
Then it's back to the all purpose wit' them lil' dots in the toe
Ain't nothing stopping this dough that I'm spending fa sho'
On them Nike Air Force, "NE" behind the "O"

[Kyjuan:]
Okay Lee, I treat my shoe like my ride
Chrome on the fat laces and put wood on the inside
Spray candy on the swoosh, with electric roof
Since I put a kit on the sole, I got a wider shoe
You see that low-mid Skittle purple coupe I'm driving in
(Kyjuan, were you getting them colors, are you dying them)
Ten is my size in them, no point in tying them
Ain't no point in trying these on, they know I'm buying them

[Nelly:]
Now don't nothing get the hype on first sight like, white on whites
Them three quarters, them lows, they're all tight
The only problem they're only good for one night
'Cause once you scuff 'em you fucked up your whole night
What's my basis? The look on store owner's faces
This kid's outrageous, he's buying them by the cases
'Cause once I cop 'em, I gut 'em and switch the laces
They're all-purpose, ya heard me, kinda like my Daytons

(I said) give me two pairs
('Cause) I need two pairs
(So I) can get to stomping in my Air Force Ones
Big boys stomping in my Air Force Ones

[Kyjuan:]
I wore spurs at first now there's tape on them
Damn, when those came out? So I write the date on them
These Louis Vuitton ones, you gotta wait on them
I had to get em early so I spent more cake on them

[Murphy Lee:]
Look I'm trying to keep it up like a one minute man
While Ali on the Kawasaki two head bands
Jewelry and all (you wildin') fish bowling 'em all
(I got some fifteens) security buying shoes and all

[Nelly:]
Now sometimes I get em free and some time I gotta pay
Walk in the mall and they know what I'm 'bout to say
Gimme the black and the platinum, and leather gray
Ones in the back and (yo) the pair you got on display (check)

[Ali:]
Now in the box is where I keep mine (keep mine)
You should peep mine (peep mine)
Maybe once or twice but never three times
I'm just a sneaker pro, I love Pumas and shell toes
But can't nothing compare to a fresh crispy white pearl

(I said) give me two pairs
('Cause) I need two pairs
(So I) can get to stomping in my Air Force Ones
Big boys stomping in my Air Force Ones
