-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This song is really fun and easy to play.  You can pretty much just play the same thing 
                             C\
Can I kick it? (yes, you can!) \ x3
                        F      Am/
Can I kick it? (yes, you can!)/
CCan I kick it? (yes, you can!)
Well, I'm Fgone (go on Amthen!)
CCan I kick it? to all the people who can Cquest like A FTribe does
Before this, did you Amreally know what Clive was?
Comprehend to the Ctrack, for it's Fwhy, cuz
Gettin' measures on the Amtip of the Cvibers
Rock and roll to the Cbeat of the Ffunk fuzz
Wipe your feet really Amgood on the Crhythm rug
If you feel the urge to Cfreak, do the Fjitterbug
Come and spread your arms Amif you really Cneed a hug
Afrocentric Cliving is a Fbig shrug
A life filled with Am(fun) that's what CI love
A lower plateau Cis what Fwe're above
If you diss us, Amwe won't even Cthink of
Will nipper the Cdoggy give a Fbig shove?
This rhythm really Amfits like a Csnug glove
Like a box of posiCtives is a Fplus, love
As the tribe flies Amhigh like a dove
CHORUS: just keep doing the same thing a few times
                             C\
Can I kick it? (yes, you can!) \ x3
                        F      Am/
Can I kick it? (yes, you can!)/
CCan I kick it? (yes, you can!)
Well, I'm Fgone (go on Amthen!)
Can I Ckick it? to my Tribe that Cflows in Flayers
Right now, Phife Amis a poem Csayer
At times, I'm a Cstudio conFveyor
Mr. Dinkins, would you Amplease be my Cmayor?
You'll be doing us a Creally big Ffavor
Boy this track really Amhas a lot of Cflavor
When it comes to rhythms, CQuest is your Fsavior
Follow us for the Amfunky beChavior
Make a note on the Crhythm we Fgave ya
Feel free, drop your Ampants, check your Cha-ir
Do you like the garCments that we Fwear?
I instruct you to Ambe the oCbeyer
A rhythm recipe Cthat you'll Fsavor
Doesn't matter if you're Amminor or Cmajor
Yes, the tribe of the Cgame, rhythm Fplayer
As you inhale like a Ambreath of fresh Cair
CHORUS AGAIN
END
