Footprints - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
As we start trudgin' me and my brothers we be lookin' and be buggin'[00:00:19]
Vehicles of life they be rollin' and be mergin'[00:00:23]
Searchin' for the virgins of life[00:00:25]
That be shovin' out the door that's crack[00:00:26]
The valleys of time are always on my feet[00:00:29]
As least the beat will combine[00:00:31]
The calluses and corns with the funky bassline[00:00:32]
You don't need underdog for a nickel shoeshine or the shoes that's phat[00:00:35]
Well can I get a level on the bass and on the treble[00:00:38]
Footin' up and down like a U N L V rebel[00:00:41]
The answer be amongst us cos we rarely dig acoustics[00:00:43]
Can't be too much flackin' not too much packin'[00:00:45]
You must container that at least to dip your hand in rap[00:00:48]
Your feet will be infectious so at least realise the fact[00:00:50]
The rhythms are inserted and the nurse can be converted[00:00:52]
This ain't rock 'n' roll 'cos the rap is in control[00:00:55]
If you're a megastar worth will buy you a car[00:00:57]
I'd rather go barefootin' for prints I will be puttin'[00:01:00]
All over the earth if we can get there first[00:01:02]
Now that we are in it footprints are bein printed[00:01:05]
So if you recognise 'em you can try to size 'em[00:01:07]
They'll probably be the ones with the size not fryin'[00:01:09]
All over reveal you won't have to yield[00:01:12]
If you want protection you can hide behind the shield[00:01:14]
You can game on the gallons if you really need to rock[00:01:36]
But we walk while we talk as we stompin' through the block[00:01:38]
Hand in hand 'cross the land as Muhammad cross the fade[00:01:40]
It's a tribe who meanders precious like a jade[00:01:43]
It's a art theo arch rhymes the ground placed upon[00:01:45]
The mind will unwind it will soft to beyond[00:01:48]
Catch the track track by track get a map to track a trail[00:01:50]
You will find yourself behind for a map does not prevail[00:01:53]
See the levels peakin' as the rhythms keep a screechin'[00:01:55]
A quest oh yes a quest inside the jam I will keep preachin'[00:01:57]
The point oh yes the point because it's close but yet so far[00:02:00]
The loudiness is ringin' as we scoot across the star[00:02:02]
We are bulgin' I'm indulgin' in a rat-a-tat-tat[00:02:04]
Explanation for the liners that the rhythm is phat[00:02:06]
Keep it wild wide and deep you could dig it in a jeep[00:02:09]
But dig it in the ground because the foot print now[00:02:12]
If there's a storm that's brewin' it won't keep us from doin'[00:02:53]
Our thing as we start swingin' travellin is bringin'[00:02:56]
Joy inside the domes as we hit the road to rome[00:02:58]
A chair is not a chair a house is not a home[00:03:00]
Because my skin is brown yo I'm gonna do the town[00:03:02]
Rub it in the face and rub my feet all through the place[00:03:04]
When you get your finger on the music it'll linger[00:03:07]
Sing a song of sixpence sing it like a singer[00:03:09]
A nubian a nubian a proud one at that[00:03:12]
Remember me the brother who said black is black[00:03:14]
You can come by request I don't play I don't dress[00:03:16]
Get emotions off your chest we are black we the best[00:03:19]
Makin' moves makin' motions flowin' like an ocean[00:03:21]
The walkin' will continue we know that we will bring you[00:03:23]
The times that you have waited more anticipated[00:03:26]
Be gone but not for long because the feet will stay strong[00:03:28]
