My Adidas walk through concert doors And roam all over coliseum floors I stepped on stage, at Live Aid All the people gave, and the poor got paid And out of speakers I did speak I wore my sneakers, but I'm not a sneak My Adidas touch the sand of a foreign land With mic in hand, I cold took command My Adidas and me close as can be We make a mean team, my Adidas and me We get around together, we're down forever And we won't be mad when caught in bad weather My Adidas (uh) My Adidas (uh) Yo, what's up? My Adidas, standin' on 2 Fifth St. Funky fresh and, yes, cold on my feet With no shoestrin' in 'em, I did not win 'em I bought 'em off the ave' with the black Lee Denim I like to sport 'em, that's why I brought 'em A sucker tried to steal 'em, so I caught 'em, and I fought 'em And I walk down the street, and bop to the beat With Lee on my legs and Adidas on my feet And so now I'm just standin' here shootin' the gip Me and D and my Adidas standin' on 2 Fifth My Adidas My Adidas Now me and my Adidas do the illest things We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings We slay all suckers who perpetrate And lay down law from state to state We travel on gravel, dirt road or street I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat On stage front page, every show I go It's Adidas on my feet, high top or low My Adidas My Adidas What up? What up? What up? Now, the Adidas I possess for one man is rare Myself, homeboy got 50 pairs Got blue and black, 'cause I likes to chill And yellow and green when it's time to get ill Got a pair that I wear when I'm playin' ball With the heel inside, make me ten feet tall My Adidas only bring good news And they are not used as felon shoes They're black and white, white with black stripes The ones I like to wear when I rock the mic On the strength of a famous university We took the beat from the street and put it on TV My Adidas are seen on the movie screen Hollywood knows we're good, if you know what I mean We started in the alley, now we chill in Cali' And I won't trade my Adidas for no beat up Bally's My Adidas
