White Shoes

(アルバム： 94.3 The Reel - 2017)

[Nappy Roots:]
Yeah, this is a Nappy Roots and Quill collab

[Kid Quill:]
I just got a brand new part of white shoes
And it's 'bout time, the last ones I outgrew
I told my mom I would keep them clean
And I don't make promises I don't mean
And I'd be damned if I let somebody scuff them, I love them
I told my dad I'd get them back when I'm older
But right now's all good I got my laces tucked
I'm two-stepping with my best foot forward

I'm thinking okay, it's a new day
It could be worse
I went and copped the ice creams, the all white desserts
So when I pick my outfit out it's always feet first
New pair of skinnies and a t-shirt
I got no money and more problems feel like I'm Puff
So nobodies tryna' drag my name through mud
But I done gone some tough skin they done ran out of luck
You know I'd rather have my name covered in dirt than dust
I rock the all white Cortez, then I got the Forces
Y'all can rock your colorways, I be thinking more's less
I run out of time before I run out of focus
Winter time Timbs and some summer time Jordans
Okay yeah that's my shit
I got my best foot forward two-step to this
I bought a brand new pair
Of some old Nike Airs
And I'd be damned if I let somebody scuff my shits

[Nappy Roots:]
Well it's a new day, fresh J's, cement greys
Pimp strut on the pavement
Sneakerhead check my closet the amazement
On occasion, Infrared Max 90's when I'm on vacation
I copped these overseas the only one in the nation
That I've seen I'm a call it motivation
Balling on a budget, patient
And you know it, this is for the times where we really couldn't afford it
Best foot forward, new pair of Jordan's
First day of school ain't a thing more important
Nappy free throw scoring, 3-pointer soaring
Smiling like a kid now I'm tour bus touring
Step out with the Vans, all white chucks
Black shoestrings just to switch up the looks
While I pick up the books, bring back the crooks
Kick up my feet, Quill bring back the hook

[Children's Choir:]
I love being me
Me's the only me that I'll ever be
I love being me
Me's the only me that I'll ever be
I got tough skin, I wear it gladly
I got a big smile, don't put it past me
The only time I look down is to look at my shoes
