Movin Backwards (Feat. Anderson .... - A Tribe Called Quest
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 shit 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 motherfuckers' first
album Footprinting
never ever ghostwritten
yo' shit free bitten
Grab my shit 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 ass nigga
don't be no backwards no
No backward ass nigga
don't be no backwards no
Don't do it nigga
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 no
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 in riot gear
And everybody's hands in the air
Four-five so get your
ass 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 nigga
I'm cool
Cool out nigga nah
nigga 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 bitches 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 get 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 motherfucker
