Footprints
(专辑: People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm - 1990)
[Q-Tip] As we start trudgin, me and my brothers we be lookin and be buggin Vehicles of life they be rollin and be mergin Searchin for the
virgins of life that be shovin out the
door that's crack The
valleys 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 phat Well can I
get a
level on the
bass and on the
treble Footin up and down like a
UNLV Rebel The
answer be amongst us cos we rarely dig acoustics Can't be too much flackin, not too much packin You must container that at least to dip your hand in rap Your feet will be infectious so at least realise the
fact The
rhythms are inserted and the
nurse can be converted This ain't rock 'n' roll cos the
rap is in control If you're a
megastar, worth will buy you a
car I'd rather go barefootin, for prints I
will be puttin all over the
earth if we can get there first Now that we are in it, footprints are bein printed So fi you recognise em, you can try to size em They'll probably be the
ones with the
size not fryin all over reveal, you won't have to yield If you want protection you can hide behind the
shield [Q-Tip] You can game on the
gallons if you really need to rock But we walk while we talk as we stompin through the
block Hand 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 placed upon The
mind will unwind, it will soft to beyond Catch the
track, track by track, get a
map to track a
trail You will find yourself behind for a
map does not prevail See 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 far The
loudiness is ringin as we scoot across the
star We are bulgin, I'm indulgin in a
rat-a-tat-tat Explanation for the
liners that the
rhythm is phat Keep it wild, wide and deep, you could dig it in a
jeep But dig it in the
ground because the
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 roam/Rome A
chair is not a
chair, a
house is not a
home Because my skin is brown, yo I'm gonna do the
town Rub it in the
face and rub my feet all through the
place When you get your finger on the
music it'll linger Sing a
song o' sixpence, sing it like a
singer A
Nubian, a
Nubian, a
proud one at that Remember me, the
brother who said "Black is black" You can come by request, I
don't play, I
don't dress Get emotions off your chest, we are black, we the
best Makin moves, makin motions, flowin like an ocean The
walkin will continue, we know that we will bring you the
times that you have waited, more anticipated Be gone but not for long because the
feet will stay strong
