Letra Sidewalkin Badi

Sidewalkin

CHORUS:
Step, step, we part, we meet
Head down to the ground as I move my feet
Sidewalkin, I weave through the people
Ain't got the time for a nice to meet you
Step, step, we part, we meet
I feel the energy between us but you're out of my reach
Sidewalkin, I never look you in the eyes
Only worry bout myself so I walk to the side

Headphones on, ipod in my palm
Lace my new kicks and I'm gone
I'm right where I belong so I'm calm
That last thing I need is a need for alarm, so I keep moving on
I got it going on, feeling good, feeling right
Fresh to death yes all my gear lookin' tight
So I stay out of sight, out of eye contact
Cause why look at me when you can look at all that
I stop by the main strip, cop what I need
Or at least what I need to make me feel complete
Make me feel fulfilled, I'm lost in my thoughts
I pay the cost, unaware of the major loss
But I keep walkin, to the side as I glide
Pickin' up my stride with nobody as my guide
Tryin' not to collide with the passer-by's
So if I walk right by you, don't act surprised

CHORUS:
Step, step, we part, we meet
Head down to the ground as I move my feet
Sidewalkin, I weave through the people
Ain't got the time for a nice to meet you
Step, step, we part, we meet
I feel the energy between us but you're out of my reach
Sidewalkin, I never look you in the eyes
Only worry bout myself so I walk to the side

I keep on sidewalkin' like I'm in a rush
Maneuvering and staying out of touch
But just as I turn the corner this guy surprised me
Told me to hold up, thought he recognized me
I feel like I know him, feel like I've seen him around
And I ain't ever sidewalked to this part of town
He told me he could see me and that he knew me well
It wasn't hard to tell that this guy could use some help
I said look I don't know you, I don't really
Care what you go through, I ain't gotta do nothin' for you
I didn't approach you, I don't do that
I don't owe you, look I'm sidewalkin' on my own two
... he just stood there and smiled, looked me in my eyes
Like he could see past my disguise
So why was I still trying to hide
The only thing I knew how to do was turn to the side

CHORUS:
Step, step, we part, we meet
Head down to the ground as I move my feet
Sidewalkin, I weave through the people
Ain't got the time for a nice to meet you
Step, step, we part, we meet
I feel the energy between us but you're out of my reach
Sidewalkin, I never look you in the eyes
Only worry bout myself so I walk to the side

Streets is dangerous, so I stay on the sidewalk
Where I got my own space outlined in chalk
But that'll fade away with just a little rain
A temporary drug for the pain
Side effects including losing identity
Short-term serenity prescribed by the enemy
I can't deal with anything after this moment in time
This remedy ain't everything I was hoping to find
I sidewalk with a mask on, but what for
When I've been designed to do so much more
I know it when I write to the beat
The fact that I'm still on my feet makes my cypher complete
Whether cruisin', or walking, man I'm never losing
I want you to see me let there be no confusion
If walkin' on this side means I can't be human
... then I best keep moving

CHORUS:
Step, step, we part, we meet
Head down to the ground as I move my feet
Sidewalkin, I weave through the people
Ain't got the time for a nice to meet you
Step, step, we part, we meet
I feel the energy between us but you're out of my reach
Sidewalkin, I never look you in the eyes
Only worry bout myself so I walk to the side
