  • Footprints-A Tribe Called Quest

    As we start trudging
    Me and my brothers we be looking and be bugging
    Vehicles of life they be rolling and be nudging
    Searching for the virgins of life
    That be shoving 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
    But can I get a level on the bass and on the treble?
    Footing up and down like a UNLV Rebel
    The answer be amongst us 'cause we rarely dig acoustics
    Can't be too much flacking, not too much packing
    You must container that at least to dip your hand in rap
    Your feet will be infectious so at least realize the fact
    The rhythms are inserted and the nurse can be converted
    This ain't rock 'n' roll 'cause the rap is in control
    If you're a megastar, words will buy you a car
    I'd rather go barefooting, for prints I will be putting
    All over the earth if we can get there first
    Now that we are in it, footprints are being printed
    So if you recognize 'em, you can try to size 'em
    They'll probably be the ones with the size nine flying
    All over the field, you won't have to yield
    If you want protection you can hide behind the shield

    And the musician often tries to capture the new thing so that we might have melody and have rhythm as we do our thing
    It's rough and tough in this ghetto, a lot of funny stuff going down but you got to walk tall. Walk tall!

    You can game on the gallons if you really need to rock
    But we walk while we talk as we stomping 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 peaking as the rhythms keep-a screeching
    A Quest, oh yes a Quest, inside the jam I will keep preaching
    The point, oh yes the point, because it's close but yet so far
    The liveliness is mean as we scoot across the star
    We are bulging, I'm indulging in a rat-a-tat-tat
    Explanation for the line is 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 footprint now

    Walk tall!

    If there's a storm that's brewing, it won't keep us from doing
    Our thing as we start swinging, travelling is bringing
    Joy inside the domes as we hit the road to 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 while we Quest, I don't play, I don't jest
    Get emotions off your chest, we are Black, we been blessed
    Making moves, making motions, flowing like an ocean
    The walking 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
