[Q-Tip] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!) *7X* 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 cuz 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 living is a big shrug A life filled with *HORN* 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 [Phife Dawg] Can I kick it? (Yes, you can!) *7X* 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 doing 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 ha-ir 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

“Can I Kick It?” foi gravada em 1989, quando os integrantes do A Tribe Called Quest tinham apenas 18 e 19 anos.
A canção incorpora amostras de cinco obras diferentes, entre elas “Walk on the Wild Side”, de Lou Reed, e “Dance of the Knights”, de Sergei Prokofiev.
Por causa do uso da amostra de “Walk on the Wild Side”, o grupo não recebeu nenhum lucro da faixa; os ganhos foram reivindicados por Lou Reed.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Jim Swaffield, foi filmado em Nova York e contou com participações de artistas como De La Soul.
“Can I Kick It?” foi incluída no álbum de compilação da banda, *The Anthology* (1999), com o final de “Bonita Applebum” acrescentado ao início da música.
Em 2012, a revista NME posicionou a faixa na 90ª posição da lista “100 Best Songs of the 1990s”.
