Lyrics
0:00Movin Backwards - A Tribe Called Quest
0:05I hope my legendary style of rap lives on
0:08A-fixed to the earth like my feet they got cleats on
0:10I'm moving backwards never that was never the plan
0:13Pushing sh*t along render stillness in the quick sand
0:16Asphalt jumpin' junkie lyrical concrete
0:19My Jedi mind be moving me
0:20Throughout the many dark streets
0:21Backwoods boondocks whatever terrain
0:24Auf Wiedersehen Aloha man our feet ain't the same
0:27I won't abuse these shoes these shoes ain't made for reversing
0:29Then trudging through these motherf**kers' first album
0:31Footprinting never ever ghostwritten yo' sh*t free bitten
0:35Grab my sh*t with both hands iron grip steel mitten
0:37Bloviated Jarobi ate it and now it's gone
0:40Closed mouths don't get fed or move ahead
0:43To my hustlers with customers scam my chicks just being petty
0:47Trap lords with the fetty don't be no backwards no
0:49No backward a** ni**a don't be no backwards no
0:52No backward a** ni**a don't be no backwards no
0:55Don't do it ni**a
0:56I spun around without a care
0:58When I stopped I felt lost
1:01I'm two heels from the top tier
1:04Really want to be boss
1:07I figured it out figured it out somewhere
1:10Maybe the answer's not out there
1:12Maybe it's on the ground somewhere
1:20When I stopped I felt lost
1:28Do you ever feel lost
1:35They wanna see my downfall
1:37Turn a good day into a downpour
1:40Thorns in the crown hit the cross I bear
1:42Why they wanna see me hangin' like a towel somewhere
1:45One eye two bills three tears a heart still
1:51How I'm feelin' in my mind right here
1:53Think I'm moving I ain't going nowhere nowhere
1:58Maybe why I feel lost yeah
2:02How I'm posed to know how home feels
2:04I ain't even on my home field
2:06And again I feel lost
2:09Was not a cruise that brought us here again I feel lost
2:14And I refuse to be stuck right here yeah
2:19I don't want to move backwards no
2:24Somebody just give me
2:25Somebody just give me
2:27Somebody just give me direction
2:29I don't want to move backwards no
2:35Somebody just give me
2:36Somebody just give me
2:37Somebody just give me directions
2:40I don't want to move backwards
2:42Moving backwards never that was never the plan
2:44Can I vent I was content being my own man
2:46Up until that night ill-fated walking home I was faded
2:49Po puts braces on my wrist like he was clapping his hands
2:52How demeaning y'all
2:53Who could be blind to racism
2:55Bring bro bro to me for the brotherly baptism
2:58Instead of slaps give him the dose of Ab wisdom
3:01He'll make it out of the jungle some way
3:03Hey it's figurative not a real place you stay
3:06Ay it's mind state filled with muck and malaise
3:08Uh I got direction without using Waze
3:11Submitting myself to praying these days
3:14Yeah moonwalking backwards it's only for stage
3:17Feds lining up we're right here
3:19And everybody's hands in the air
3:22Four-five so get your a** found somewhere
3:25Caught between hope and despair
3:26Say it loud what it take to make my niggas listen
3:29Somebody just give me
3:30Somebody just give me
3:31Somebody just give me
3:32Cool out chill out ni**a I'm cool
3:35Cool out ni**a nah ni**a I'm through
3:37Head down ain't no tellin' what you gon' do
3:39Somebody just give me
3:41Somebody just give me
3:42Somebody just give me direction
3:45I don't want to move backwards no
3:49Cops killing us niggas everywhere
3:51Maybe we should get some guns too
3:55She come around every now and a few
3:57Man I hope she really loves you
4:00Living high ain't hard to do
4:03She'll be in the clouds somewhere
4:05Feeling fresh I strut your b**ches out of here
4:08Might even take your broad too
4:10Oops I'm 'bout to get kicked out here
4:13Tell mama I'mma slide through
4:16Stealer I'm trying to make out of here
4:19But stuck up in the same room
4:22Too many open miles in here
4:24Sick of eating out at drive through
4:27Hahaha look at this motherf**ker
