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