Politics Of The Sneaker Pimps

Jesus is the best thing that happened to the game

Since the tennis shoe was invented

On the outs I lace up, the world I face up

To score on anybody, it's war on everybody

The new guys come in blood shot between the eyes

As long as their sellin' that merchandise

And one what goes in, don't come back

The color may be green but it's also black

And red I know many heads that spent bloodshed

Cursed in converses, dead in Pro Keds

Now every Tom, Dick, Harry or Joe Smith

Skip the spauldings, pony's, and K-Swiss

High school and college coaches gettin'

Kickbacks from scholarships and them slave ships

Converses for the pros, kids with Filas

Reebok, Nikes, New Balance my Adidas

Ain't part of that clique, spendin' all the chits on kicks

PS in the politics

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Hey Dr. J where you got those moves

Was it gettin' high in the schools, can it be the shoes?

Truth is truth, I tear the fuckin' roof off the house

Expose them foes with my mouth

I see corporate hands up in foreign lands

With the man behind the man gettin' paid behind the man

I hold the rocket, stop the hand in my pocket

200 a pair but I'm addicted to the gear

They'll make me do things on the court to amaze ya

I heard they make 'em for a buck 8 in Asia

They came a long way baby since

Clyde Frazier had Pumas, pullin' mad consumers

Them Filas I'm feelin' but I cant touch the ceiling

Them New Balance hits 120 million

The last thing I need is Adidas terminatin' my contract

For wearing those old pair of wack

Reebok low tops covered up by floppy socks

Gave me a jump shot before I got jumped and shot

Duckin' a word from my sponsor

Trying to end my year like Kwaanza

Converses for the pros, kids with Filas

Reebok, Nikes, New Balance my Adidas

Ain't part of that clique, spendin' all the chits on kicks

PS in the politics

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Politics of them sneaker pimps

Been paid since the 8th grade

11th grader, pop the champagne

12th grade start the campaign

Gettin' fame, sign my name in the dotted frame

Nike got me pullin' re's and g's

Shit, I can get shot for these

Please God give me 20 more years in these knees

To maintain without this game I gotta do keys

And I don't wanna go there because it's fuckin' everywhere

Factories wanna see me, kids wanna be me

Behind the wheels and endorsement deals

It's the politics and the tricks behind the kicks

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
