All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies
All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies

I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the
I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the
I sold for the (I'm a size 10 in the US)

Duplex, take two steps
Old timers get their suits pressed
Making fun of how the youth dress
Because back then, they was too fresh
Crewneck, bootlegs
Soviet, Russian roulette
Smoking aces, got a full deck
Cos they pulled the gun when they broke in
Reality hadn't soaked in
I almost lost my life for a pair of Nikes
So that's the reason I own Gens
Some brass couldn't read well
But they could spell Nike TL
They only felt what they cared for
Like Speed Toughs and Air Mores
It's sentimental, they love the retros
Polo Sensations, Air Uptempos
Nomos, that's the Max Air
Nike Basketball, I had the black pair
Before Sneaker Exchange, we already swapped
We had colours that never dropped
When it landed on you, then it belly-flopped
In the trunk, get your pennies robbed
Pick n Pay, I'm a smart shopper
Still local with the Grasshoppers
Ask Puma, I'm a chart topper
Elite Force so the Shox bomber
I could've bought a new car rather
Kaap Stad, I put it on the map
Your shoes wack, I can't follow back
Y'all get loose if I got the strap
No returns if they bought all that
Camouflage like an army brat
Flying kicks leave your body flat
They pop your top like a bottle cap
And in the hood, that's a common trap
But don't pimp if you not a rat
Avirex, it's a bomber jack'
They robbed me and I got it back

All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies
All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies

I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the
I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the (Now we own these shops)
I sold for the (And there's new pairs being shipped out)
So many that I must count
We was waiting at the mud's house
To work out a lil' discount
Dripped out, dripped out
Talk kak and you chase clout
Diamond Turfs on the playground
That's the life, this in Cape Town
Always, Nike edition was limited
I took it without even fitting it
The Gary Payton Glove, zipping it
New releases, you was missing it
I drip in my sleep on the water bed
I check on the sheet what the order said
Back then, I couldn't afford to spend
Since ten, I've been a Jordan head
Always wanted what we can't buy
So we had to get the job part-time
But there's jealousy in the mob ties
Meaning ouens rob you on the dark side
The tekkie story goes deep still
Like Meek Mills and Dreamvilles
When you lose it all, then you rebuild
My feet's filled

All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies
All I ever wanted was a new pair of
Tekkies, tekkies, tekkies

I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the
I sold for the tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)
New tekkies (Tekkies, tekkies)

I sold for the
I sold for the
I sold for the

Broke my bones and broke my home just for unwanted kicks
I had one, now I have tons and it's so hard to pick
