Can I Kick It? Lyrics

[00:29.35] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:31.95] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:34.38] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:36.87] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:39.36] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:41.77] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:44.36] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[00:46.62] Well, I'm gone (go on then!)
[00:49.41] Can I kick it?
[00:50.35] To all the people who can Quest like A Tribe does
[00:52.94] Before this, did you really know what live was?
[00:55.48] Comprehend to the track, for it's why 'cause
[00:57.85] Getting measures on the tip of the vibers
[01:00.39] Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz
[01:02.82] Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug
[01:05.38] If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug
[01:07.83] Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug
[01:10.48] Afrocentric living is a big shrug
[01:12.86] A life filled with fun, that's what I love
[01:15.34] A lower plateau is what we're above
[01:17.97] If you diss us, we won't even think of
[01:20.27] Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?
[01:22.65] This rhythm really fits like a snug glove
[01:25.26] Like a box of positives is a plus, love
[01:27.76] As the Tribe flies high like a dove
[01:30.07]
[01:37.95] Can I kick it?
[01:39.47]
[01:48.06] Can I kick it?
[01:49.62]
[02:18.72] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:21.29] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:23.53] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:26.05] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:28.54] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:31.18] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:33.43] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!)
[02:35.92] Well, I'm gone (go on then!)
[02:38.64] Can I kick it? To my tribe that flows in layers
[02:42.20] Right now, Phife is a poem sayer
[02:44.88] At times, I'm a studio conveyor
[02:46.97] Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor?
[02:49.72] You'll be doing us a really big favor
[02:51.93] Boy this track really has a lot of flavor
[02:54.52] When it comes to rhythms Quest is your savior
[02:56.81] Follow us for the funky behavior
[02:59.69] Make a note on the rhythm we gave ya
[03:02.11] Feel free, drop your pants, check your hair
[03:04.63] Do you like the garments that we wear?
[03:06.97] I instruct you to be the obeyer
[03:09.35] A rhythm recipe that you'll savor
[03:12.12] Doesn't matter if you're minor or major
[03:14.62] Yes, the tribe of the game, rhythm player
[03:17.08] As you inhale like a breath of fresh air
[03:19.16]
[03:27.19] (Can I kick it?)
[03:28.88]
[03:37.00] (Can I kick it?)
[03:38.23]
