Movin Backwards - A Tribe Called Quest[00:00:00]
Written by:Kamaal Fareed[00:00:00]
I hope my legendary style of rap lives on[00:00:05]
A-fixed to the earth like my feet they got cleats on[00:00:08]
I'm moving backwards never that was never the plan[00:00:10]
Pushing shit along render stillness in the quick sand[00:00:13]
Asphalt jumpin' junkie lyrical concrete[00:00:16]
My Jedi mind be moving me[00:00:19]
Throughout the many dark streets[00:00:20]
Backwoods boondocks whatever terrain[00:00:21]
Auf Wiedersehen Aloha man our feet ain't the same[00:00:24]
I won't abuse these shoes these shoes ain't made for reversing[00:00:27]
Then trudging through these motherf**kers' first album[00:00:29]
Footprinting never ever ghostwritten yo' shit free bitten[00:00:31]
Grab my shit with both hands iron grip steel mitten[00:00:35]
Bloviated Jarobi ate it and now it's gone[00:00:37]
Closed mouths don't get fed or move ahead[00:00:40]
To my hustlers with customers scam my chicks just being petty[00:00:43]
Trap lords with the fetty don't be no backwards no[00:00:47]
No backward ass nigga don't be no backwards no[00:00:49]
No backward ass nigga don't be no backwards no[00:00:52]
Don't do it nigga[00:00:55]
I spun around without a care[00:00:56]
When I stopped I felt lost[00:00:58]
I'm two heels from the top tier[00:01:01]
Really want to be boss[00:01:04]
I figured it out figured it out somewhere[00:01:07]
Maybe the answer's not out there[00:01:10]
Maybe it's on the ground somewhere[00:01:12]
When I stopped I felt lost[00:01:20]
Do you ever feel lost[00:01:28]
They wanna see my downfall[00:01:35]
Turn a good day into a downpour[00:01:37]
Thorns in the crown hit the cross I bear[00:01:40]
Why they wanna see me hangin' like a towel somewhere[00:01:42]
One eye two bills three tears a heart still[00:01:45]
How I'm feelin' in my mind right here[00:01:51]
Think I'm moving I ain't going nowhere nowhere[00:01:53]
Maybe why I feel lost yeah[00:01:58]
How I'm posed to know how home feels[00:02:02]
I ain't even on my home field[00:02:04]
And again I feel lost[00:02:06]
Was not a cruise that brought us here again I feel lost[00:02:09]
And I refuse to be stuck right here yeah[00:02:14]
I don't want to move backwards no[00:02:19]
Somebody just give me[00:02:24]
Somebody just give me[00:02:25]
Somebody just give me direction[00:02:27]
I don't want to move backwards no[00:02:29]
Somebody just give me[00:02:35]
Somebody just give me[00:02:36]
Somebody just give me directions[00:02:37]
I don't want to move backwards[00:02:40]
Moving backwards never that was never the plan[00:02:42]
Can I vent I was content being my own man[00:02:44]
Up until that night ill-fated walking home I was faded[00:02:46]
Po puts braces on my wrist like he was clapping his hands[00:02:49]
How demeaning y'all[00:02:52]
Who could be blind to racism[00:02:53]
Bring bro bro to me for the brotherly baptism[00:02:55]
Instead of slaps give him the dose of Ab wisdom[00:02:58]
He'll make it out of the jungle some way[00:03:01]
Hey it's figurative not a real place you stay[00:03:03]
Ay it's mind state filled with muck and malaise[00:03:06]
Uh I got direction without using Waze[00:03:08]
Submitting myself to praying these days[00:03:11]
Yeah moonwalking backwards it's only for stage[00:03:14]
Feds lining up we're right here[00:03:17]
And everybody's hands in the air[00:03:19]
Four-five so get your ass found somewhere[00:03:22]
Caught between hope and despair[00:03:25]
Say it loud what it take to make my niggas listen[00:03:26]
Somebody just give me[00:03:29]
Somebody just give me[00:03:30]
Somebody just give me[00:03:31]
Cool out chill out nigga I'm cool[00:03:32]
Cool out nigga nah nigga I'm through[00:03:35]
Head down ain't no tellin' what you gon' do[00:03:37]
Somebody just give me[00:03:39]
Somebody just give me[00:03:41]
Somebody just give me direction[00:03:42]
I don't want to move backwards no[00:03:45]
Cops killing us niggas everywhere[00:03:49]
Maybe we should get some guns too[00:03:51]
She come around every now and a few[00:03:55]
Man I hope she really loves you[00:03:57]
Living high ain't hard to do[00:04:00]
She'll be in the clouds somewhere[00:04:03]
Feeling fresh I strut your bitches out of here[00:04:05]
Might even take your broad too[00:04:08]
Oops I'm 'bout to get kicked out here[00:04:10]
Tell mama I'mma slide through[00:04:13]
Stealer I'm trying to make out of here[00:04:16]
But stuck up in the same room[00:04:19]
Too many open miles in here[00:04:22]
Sick of eating out at drive through[00:04:24]
Hahaha look at this motherf**ker[00:04:27]
