Can I Kick It Lyrics


Hey y'all, we is havin' a ball
And you know they ask me to get on the MIC
And they ask me
Can I kick it? Word yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you canCan I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Well I'm gone, goneCan I kick it?
To all the people who can Quest like a Tribe does
Before this did you really know what life was
Comprehend to the track for its wide 'cos
Gettin' mentions on the tip of the vibe buzz
Rock 'n' roll to the beat of the funk fuzz
Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug

If you feel the urge to freak do the jitter bug
Come and spread your arms if you really need a hugAfro-centric living is a big shrug
A life filled with [Incomprehensible] thats what I love
A lower plateu is what we're above
If you diss us we wont even think of
Will nipper the doggy give a big shove
This rhythm really fits like a snug glove
Like a box of positives its a plus love
As the Tribe flies high like a doveCan I kick it? Can I kick it?Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Can I kick it? Yes you can
Well I'm gone, goneCan I kick it?
To my tribe that flows in layers
Right now Phife is a poem sayer
At times I'm a studio conveyer
Mr. Dinkens will you please be my mayor
You'll be doing us a really big favor
Boy this track really has a lot of flavor
When it comes to rhythms Quest is your savior
Follow us for the funky behaviorMake a note on the rhythm we gave ya
Feel free to drop your pants and check your hair
Do you like the garments that we wear?
I instruct you to be the obeyer
A rhythm recipe that you'll savor
Doesn't matter if you're minor or major
Yes the Tribe of the game rhythm player
And you inhale like a breath of fresh airCan I kick it? Can I kick it?

A Tribe Called Quest was an influential hip hop group of the 1990s, originally formed in Queens, New York City in 1985. The group is composed of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad. A fourth member, Jarobi White, was an intermittent collaborator appearing on their first album, but he left the group soon after, although he is mentioned as a 'sometimes' member on their third album liner notes. Along with De La Soul, the group was a central part of the Native Tongues Posse, and enjoyed the most commercial success out of all the groups to emerge from that collective.

Q-Tip and Phife had grown up together in Queens, and met Muhammad in high school. The group's name was coined by The Jungle Brothers, whose members attended the same school. Soon after, the group began performing live and recording on a local label. The group became a part of the Native Tongues family, a Hip-Hop artist collective also consisting of the groups Jungle Brothers, De La Soul and Black Sheep.

At the time of their inception, A Tribe Called Quest was unique within the hip-hop community for eschewing gangsta rap and macho posturing. Their lyrics focused on abstract and social issues such as the word "nigger", date rape and consumerism. Musically, the group helped pioneer the jazz-rap style (along with groups such as Gang Starr and De La Soul). They made their studio debut in 1990 with People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. Though this album was critically acclaimed and lead to a strong fan following, their next album, The Low End Theory (1991) was a massive artistic success, appearing on several best of the year lists. It is considered one of the most important hip-hop albums to date. The Low End Theory was followed by the equally strong Midnight Marauders (1993), while Beats, Rhymes and Life (1996) and The Love Movement (1998) did not meet with as much success.

Following The Love Movement, the group disbanded in 1998. Q-Tip and Phife Dawg went on to pursue solo careers while Muhammad co-founded the R&B group Lucy Pearl.

Recently, there have been rumors of a reunion between the trio, ignited by a spate of group concert apperances around the US, but their most recent appearance was a Bumbershoot, a three-day music festival in Seattle in 2006 and there has been little news of an upcoming album, leading some to believe that the rumors may be unfounded.
