Footprints (Remix)
A Tribe Called Quest

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 bass-line

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 U-N-L-V rebel

The answer be amongst us 'cause 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 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, 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 if you recognize '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

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 trac, 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

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

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
