Footprints Lyrics


[Q-Tip]
As we start trudgin', me and my brothers, we be lookin' and be buggin'.
Vehicles of life, they be rollin' and be mergin';
Searchin' for the virgins of life.
That be shovin' out the door, that's crack.
The valleys of time are always on my feet.
As least the beat will combine.
The calluses and corns, with the funky bass-line.
You don't need underdog for a nickel shoeshine or the shoes that's phat.
Well, can I get a level on the bass and on the treble?
Footin' up and down like a U-N-L-V rebel.
The answer be amongst us 'cause we rarely dig acoustics.
Can't be too much flackin', not too much packin'.
You must container that, at least to dip your hand in rap.
Your feet will be infectious, so at least realize the fact.
The rhythms are inserted, and the nurse can be converted.
This ain't rock 'n' roll 'cause the rap is in control.
If you're a megastar, worth will buy you a car,

I'd rather go barefootin', for prints I will be puttin'
All over the Earth if we can get there first.
Now that we are in it, footprints are bein' printed,
So if you recognize 'em you can try to size 'em.
They'll probably be the ones with the size not fryin'.
All over reveal, you won't have to yield.
If you want protection you can hide behind the shield.
[Q-Tip]
You can game on the gallons if you really need to rock.
But we walk while we talk as we stompin' through the block.
Hand in hand, 'cross the land, as Muhammad cross the fade.
It's a Tribe who meanders, precious like a jade.
It's a art, Theo arch rhymes the ground placed upon.
The mind will unwind, it will soft to beyond.
Catch the track, track by trac, get a map to track a trail.
You will find yourself behind, for a map does not prevail.
See the levels peakin' as the rhythms keep-a screechin'
A quest, oh yes, a quest inside the jam, I will keep preachin'.
The point, oh yes, the point, because it's close, but, yet, so far.
The loudiness is ringin' as we scoot across the star.
We are bulgin', I'm indulgin' in a rat-a-tat-tat.
Explanation for the liners that the rhythm is phat.
Keep it wild, wide, and deep; you could dig it in a jeep.
But dig it in the ground because the foot print now.
[Q-Tip]
If there's a storm that's brewin', it won't keep us from doin'
Our thing, as we start swingin', travellin' is bringin'.
Joy inside the domes as we hit the road to roam.
A chair is not a chair, a house is not a home.
Because my skin is brown, yo, I'm gonna do the town.
Rub it in the face, and rub my feet all through the place.
When you get your finger on the music, it'll linger.
Sing a song o' sixpence, sing it like a singer.
A Nubian, a Nubian, a proud one at that.
Remember me? The brother who said, 'black is black.'
You can come by request, I don't play, I don't dress
Get emotions off your chest, we are black, we the best.
Makin' moves, makin' motions, flowin' like an ocean.
The walkin' will continue, we know that we will bring you.
The times that you have waited, more anticipated.
Be gone, but not for long, because the feet will stay strong.

David Styles (born November 28, 1974), better known as Styles P, is an American rapper. He was born to a Jamaican father and a South African mother. He is a member of Hip Hop group D-Block, which includes Jadakiss and Sheek Louch. He is known primarily for the hardcore lyrics and powerful messages in his music.

Born in Corona, Queens, and raised on Groshon Ave in Yonkers, NY, Styles began rapping with Jadakiss and Sheek in 1994, as they all grew up in the same Yonkers, New York neighborhood. They eventually signed to Bad Boy Records, formed the rap group called "THE LOX" which stands for "Living Off Xperience", and recorded songs with Notorious B.I.G., Sean Combs and Darren Blackburn. In 1998, The Lox released Money, Power & Respect w/ the hit song "Money, Power, Respect" feat. fellow Bad Boy, "Lil Kim" and Ruff Ryder Earl "DMX" Simmons. Soon thereafter, Styles P led the Lox on the now infamous quest to leave Bad Boy Records. When they were finally released, the Lox signed to Interscope. Shortly thereafter, a new Lox album and Jadakiss' solo album Kiss Tha Game Goodbye were released.

Styles released A Gangster and a Gentleman in 2002, as his debut solo album. The album contained the song "The Life", featuring Pharoahe Monch which was originally recorded for Rawkus Records' Soundbombing 3 compilation album. The follow up hit was the song dedicated to marijuana use, "Good Times (I Get High)", one of the most played songs of 2002.

In 2003, Styles P. and Jadakiss appeared on the "Oz Soundtrack" with one of the harder edged songs "Some Niggas" about prison life. On a mixed album with several songs about the lifestyle behind bars, "Some Niggas" was one of the fiercest and most remembered songs on the street from that album.

In 2004, Styles P. released the mixtape Ghost Stories in limited distribution form (NY only) -- the mixtape spread to other cities and onto the internet in the next year. He was featured on the hit song "Locked Up", by R&B artist Akon.

In 2005, Styles P. received local market airplay for his and Jadakiss' remix of Mariah Carey's mega-hit "We Belong Together", and on Miri Ben-Ari's album, The Hip-Hop Violinist; he features on the track "We Gonna Win". He released two stand-alone mixtapes in complete form: Ghost in the Shell in the spring of 2005 and Ghost in the Machine in the Fall.

Styles P. has been featured on many rappers' albums including Ghostface Killah, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Akon's albums. Styles is rumoured to appear on DMX's new album Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later. He will also appear on the title track to The Roots' latest album, Rising Down.
