A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? Lyrics

Aye yo, who's havin' a ball?
An' you know they asked me to give him a mic
An' they asked me
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Oh yes, you can

Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can

Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Well, I'm gone, go on then

Can I kick it to all the people who can quest like a tribe does
Before this, did you really know what live was?
Comprehend to the track, for it's why 'cause
Gettin' measures on the tip of the vibers

Rock and roll to the beat of the funk fuzz
Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug
If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug
Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug

Afrocentric livin' is a big shrug
A life filled with fun, that's what I love
A lower plateau is what we're above
If you diss us, we won't even think of

Will Nipper, the doggy give a big shove?
This rhythm really fits like a snug glove
Like a box of positives is a plus, love
As the tribe flies high like a dove

Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can

Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Can I kick it? Yes, you can
Well, I'm gone, go on then

Can I kick it to my tribe that flows in layers
Right now, Phife is a poem sayer
At times, I'm a studio conveyor
Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor?

You'll be doin' us a really big favor
Boy, this track really has a lot of flavor
When it comes to rhythms, Quest is your savior
Follow us for the funky behavior

Make a note on the rhythm we gave ya
Feel free, drop your pants, check your hair ya
Do you like the garments that we wear?
I instruct you to be the obeyer

A rhythm recipe that you'll savor
Doesn't matter if you're minor or major
Yes, the tribe of the game, rhythm player
As you inhale like a breath of fresh air
