Lyrics Movin Backwards - A Tribe Called Quest
I
hope
my
legendary
style
of
rap
lives
on
A
fix
to
the
earth
like
my
feet
that
got
kicks
on
Moving
backwards
never,
that
was
never
the
plan
Pushing
shit
along,
weren′t
the
stillest
in
the
quick
sand
Asphalt
jumpin',
lyrical
concrete
My
Jetta
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
ain't
made
for
reversing
Trudging
through
these
motherfuckers
first
album
footprint
Never
ever
ghostwritten,
your
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
Amateurs
are
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
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,
I
really
want
to
be
boss
I
figured
out,
I
figured
it
out
somewhere
Maybe
the
answer's
not
up
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
and
the
cross
I
bear
Why
they
wanna
see
me
hangin′
like
a
towel
somewhere
One
eye,
two
meals,
three
tears,
a
heart
still
How
I′m
feelin'
in
my
mind
right
here
I
think
I′m
moving
but
I'm
going
nowhere,
nowhere
Better
not
feel
lost
How
I′m
supposed
to
know
how
home
feels,
I
ain't
even
my
home
field
Better
not
feel
lost
It′s
not
a
cruise
that
brought
us
here
I'm
gone
for
long
And
I
refuse
to
be
stuck
right
here
I'm
going
to
it
backwards,
and
oh
Can
somebody
just
give
me,
can
somebody
just
give
me,
can
somebody
just
give
direction?
I
don′t
want
to
move
backwards,
no
Can
somebody
just
give
me,
can
somebody
just
give
me,
can
somebody
just
give
direction?
I
don′t
want
to
move
backwards
Can't
go
backwards
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
faded,
walking
home,
I
was
faded
Cocos
races
on
my
wrist
like
he
was
clapping
his
hands
How
demeaning
y'all,
who
could
be
blind
to
racism
[?]
girl
wrote
to
me
for
the
brother
baptism
Instead
of
slaps
give
′em,
the
dose
of
ab
wisdom
He'll
make
it
out
of
the
jungle
some
way
Hey,
it′s
figurative,
it's
not
a
real
place
you
stay
Ayy,
it's
mind
scape,
filled
with
fucking
malaise
I
got
direction
without
using
Waze
Submitting
myself
to
praying
these
days
We
walking
backwards,
it′s
only
for
stage
Feds
coming
out,
with
riot
gear
And
everybody′s
hands
in
the
air
Four-fives
get
your
ass
'round
somewhere
Come
between
and
jump
in
the
spare
Say
it
loud,
with
a
different
ring
my
niggas
(Somebody
just
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
me,
somebody
just
give
me,
somebody
just
give
me
directions)
I
don't
want
to
move
backwards,
and
oh!
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
Feel
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
Still
I,
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
thru
Hahaha

at
this
motherfucker)
