White Shoes

Yeah, this is a Nappy Roots and Quill collab

I just got a brand new pair of white shoes
And it's 'bout time, the last ones I outgrew (outgrew)
I told my mom I would keep them clean
And I don't make promises I don't mean, yeah
And I'd be damned if I let somebody scuff them, I love them
I told my dad I'd get them back when I'm older (when I'm older)
But right now's all good I got my laces tucked
I'm two-stepping with my best foot forward

I'm thinking okay, it's a new day
It could be worse
I went and copped the ice creams, the all white desserts
So when I pick my outfit out it's always feet first
New pair of skinnies and a t-shirt
I got no money and more problems feel like I'm Puff
So nobody's tryna drag my name through mud
But I done gone some tough skin they done ran out of luck
You know I'd rather have my name covered in dirt than dust

I rock the all white Cortez, then I got the Forces
Y'all can rock your colorways, I be thinking more's less
I run out of time before I run out of focus
Winter time Timbs and some summer time Jordans
Okay, yeah, that's my shit
I got my best foot forward two-step to this
I bought a brand new pair
Of some old Nike Airs
And I'd be damned if I let somebody scuff my shits

I just got a brand new pair of white shoes

Well it's a new day, fresh J's, cement greys
Pimp strut on the pavement
Sneakerhead check my closet the amazement
On occasion, Infrared Max 90's when I'm on vacation
I copped these overseas the only one in the nation
That I've seen I'm a call it motivation
Balling on a budget, patient
And you know it, this is for the times where we really couldn't afford it (uh)

Best foot forward, new pair of Jordan's
First day of school ain't a thing more important
Nappy free throw scoring, three-pointer soaring
Smiling like a kid now I'm tour bus touring
While I step out with the Vans, all white chucks
Black shoestrings just to switch up the looks
While I pick up the books, bring back the crooks
Kick up my feet, Quill bring back the hook

I just got a brand new pair of white shoes

And I don't make promises I don't mean, yeah

But right now's all good I got my laces tucked
I'm two-stepping with my best foot forward

I love being me
Me's the only me that I'll ever be
I love being me
Me's the only me that I'll ever be
I got tough skin, I wear it gladly
I got a big smile, don't put it past me
The only time I look down is to look at my shoes

I just got a brand new pair of white shoes
And it's 'bout time, the last ones I outgrew

And I don't make promises I don't mean, yeah
And I'd be damned if I let somebody scuff them, I love them

But right now's all good I got my laces tucked
