Rankofa X - Gym Shoes

On my soul
Fresh to death from head to toe
You got to coordinate
From the crown to the sole
I been rocking the flyest shoes since I was five years old
Even in Chi snow that's just how it goes
We all wanted to be like Mike
In the newest Nikes
Doing the Right Thing like Spike
The movie made us all cool like Mookie
Until a dude from Massachusetts move in and bruise the kicks
I'm Bugging Out
Ready to come to blows and thug it out
Get on your knees with a toothbrush and scrub it out
Can't be seen in the streets in no beefier
White ones stuffed the toes with a sock
Them bitches beat when they start creasing
End of the line Foot Locker out of stock
Online orders for Jordan's they sold out
Hope the plug hit the freights and popped the lock
I'm dancing in advance
Doing the wop before they even drop
Watch my feet
With this heat I can't lose
Y'all say sneakers
In the Chi we say gym shoes
Watch my feet
When you see me betta move
It's a wrap
If you step on my new gym shoes
Watch my feet
With this heat I can't lose
Y'all say sneakers
In the Chi we say gym shoes
Gym shoes
Gym shoes
Waiting on a new shipment like waiting for Christmas
On the porch face turning red
Where the hell is FedEx, I'm pressed
Flagging down every brown UPS
Thirsty as heck
En español tengo mucho sed
Wifey shaking her head
Like now what you get
Some Air Max 95s something proper
For real show stoppers
Where they gone go
You stacking boxes in the coat closet
I remember one chick
Called me a straight up addict
An obsessed shoe fanatic
I got dumped
She say it's a shame that in these six months
I never seen you in the same kicks not even once
When does it stop
I said Um it doesn't hun
Salam what you know of love
I said um
Sometimes I feel it at first sight
When I open that orange box and see that swoosh smiling
It's like a chest of treasure
Can't describe the pleasure
Shorty compared my shoes to blood diamonds
Yeah whatever
Went on and on about the price of tea in China
Fine then
I'll be on my way but I ain't
Kicking no rocks cause I'm afraid
Of the scuffs and this color way is way too tuff
I do what I want, I can't front
Give me the option I'm gone stunt
I'm gone stunt
Watch my feet
With this heat I can't lose
Y'all say sneakers
In the Chi we say gym shoes
Watch my feet
When you see me betta move
It's a wrap
If you step on my new gym shoes
Watch my feet
With this heat I can't lose
Y'all say sneakers
In the Chi we say gym shoes
Gym shoes
Gym shoes
