Politics Of The Sneaker Pimps |
| On the outs I lace up, the world I face up To score on anybody, its 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 its 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 on these knees |
| To maintain without this game I gotta do keys |
| And I don’t wanna go there because its fuckin everywhere |
| Factories wanna be me kids wanna see me Behind the wheels and endorsement deals |
| Its the politics and the tricks behind the kicks |
