I believe he is rappin' about the fact that everything in life is subject to change and nothing is permanent. The car you drive, the place you live in, and your body will change and will eventually go away. No matter what you do, nothing will be perfect forever.
The hottest track i had heard in forever when this came out... touches your heart man.. we all used to try to rock the kicks and keep em clean.. lol.. love the grouch
Damn, haven't heard this song in 6 years. Feelin' hella nostalgic. If only I remembered the message of this song the first time I heard it I probably wouldn't be divorced.
I got mad respect for The Grouch as a hip hop artist a Truthful, Uplifting and Enlightening message in almost all his music props to the grouch for revitalizing the hip hop industry with something real for a change..
i just saw the legends in concert and got to meet murs, eligh, luckyiam, sunspot, and the grouch. the grouch is the best rapper out there he is so talented but in person he is humble and chill like one of us. LONG LIVE THE GROUCH!
verse before the beat change is some deep relatable shit , Even talking about something as simple as kicks can relate to alot of things in life and a persons/humans way of thinking or living.
i feel you man its one of those things you have to get like jazz and shit i dont like jazz but grouch is layin down some real wisdom so i took the time to appreciate
its about having nothing . and you love nikes so much you will do what it takes for them to look good again i understand because i skated and listen to grouches words of wisdom ...
i knock underground not dat wakk as mainstream dats just sugar coated and watered down!! This foo is one of da real foos like immortal technique! sikk ass shit god bless these real nikkuz who keep rap nd hip hop alive!
when your mind gets in a whirlwind you better remember to stop and smell the roses in between dozing cause with every breathe upon this planet youre one of the chosen.........
He's not getting paid by nike this track was made in 2002 when im sure most of you have never even heard of him, especially a big company like Nike. Nike only has the big stars promote their brand. Grouch was still bringing the underground lyrics and sick beats during this time. Gotta love this track though.
although, shoes have been known in as a metaphor for the self. "seen as a reflection it's a super-clean resurrection " so he might be talking about himself in a way.
man this is the good shit! back when the grouch was killin shit on the underground tip. Sad to say he kinda sold out a bit, but he's still dope as hell.
This song is far from about just keeping a pair of shoes clean. It has subtle undertones, a deeper meaning than cant be readily perceived. Thats why I love it*
Yo Grouch! he be geekin in this video for sure lol!!! this just proves that you're no. 1 in hip hop now like i said, This the Los Dog from Denver, we will do a track someday!!! haha ps. nikes were too small to fit my big ass feet lol keep rockin it.
yah i had the first jordans you know the blue&white ones in 8th grade, god they were 100 bux i cant believe i used to clean them with a toothbrush too and all that i still have em just for laughs hAhAhaHa.....

he has his own flow thats what it beautiful about it
so good. the grouch raps wit more passion and conviction than most out there. his shits real, not that mainstream bull shit that has no depth.
some of the most meaningful music ive ever heard.
This song is deeper than the craters on the moon.
its about having nothing . and you love nikes so much you will do what it takes for them to look good again i understand because i skated and listen to grouches words of wisdom ...
i love intellect. i love hip hop. i love when they mesh :P
this is my song man!. the best analogy to life!
I still remember how I used to clean my own kicks with a toothbrush back in mid '90s ...
man oh man!!! You got to love it...
i knock underground not dat wakk as mainstream dats just sugar coated and watered down!! This foo is one of da real foos like immortal technique! sikk ass shit god bless these real nikkuz who keep rap nd hip hop alive!

sometimes I can't live it, but I can word it. tiiiight.
quite possibly one of the most moving HIP HOP songs of our time. Fuckin gotta love Grouch.
the grouch is beautiful...
right off the streets of berkeley n oak town

The song at the end is Cloud 9 off of the album Crusader of Justice
love this track
Classic, Sporty LA shoe store. Fairfax/Melrose
to be honest i never knew he was a legend but this song is great and the beat is soo soothing
this song reminds me of something you'd find off the Nothing Changes album. straight off telegraph type of song..
again... thats tight. I can dig it... well kinda, I bought my first pare of nikes when I was 20. they where black. I still got em' 2 years later.
when your mind gets in a whirlwind you better remember to stop and smell the roses in between dozing cause with every breathe upon this planet youre one of the chosen.........
im all about that shit too. With all the legends.
easily one of the greatest shits of all time
this song is hard
He's not getting paid by nike this track was made in 2002 when im sure most of you have never even heard of him, especially a big company like Nike. Nike only has the big stars promote their brand.

Grouch reminds me of the skater Mark Johnson.
Sometimes I take my
Life for Granted.
I could be doing SO Much
More for the Time that Im Here.

although, shoes have been known in as a metaphor for the self.
"seen as a reflection it's a super-clean resurrection "
so he might be talking about himself in a way.
