Movin Backwards 作词：Q-Tip & Anderson .Paak 作曲：Q-Tip & Anderson .Paak
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, we're right here 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)
