Hoop Dreams Dead
Cause I use to wanna be just like Mike
Wanna ball out wanna ball out
Put them retro wings on and just take flight
Going all out going all out
Hoop dreams dead boy I deaded those
Had to fall out had to fall out
Now I got rich nigga goals instead of those
Still trying to ball out trying to ball out
Ay, fade away, fade away, fade away
I use to practice in the hood on a crate
It was an old past time watched it fade away
I do this rapping shit for good cause I'm great
Had to put them hoop dream on lay away
I planned to come back if I could but its late
Time to figure out how to get the pay today
Let's get active with the juug make the cake
Use to wanna pull up with the J
Now I wanna pull up with the Wraith
But I turned to the nigga never taking risk only changing baby pullups playing it safe
Fuck that, gotta get my mindset back
Show' em that the hunger never left though
Gave up on the game, one thing stayed the same
You can still catch me stomping in some retros
Cause I use to wanna be just like Mike
Wanna ball out wanna ball out
Put them retro wings on and just take flight
Going all out going all out
Hoop dreams dead boy I deaded those
Had to fall out had to fall out
Now I got rich nigga goals instead of those
Still trying to ball out trying to ball out
High School, when it started to die down
Still wanted to be like Mike though
Flexing on them niggas with like six rings
Swap meet jewelry but the shit clean
Coach barely put me in the game, said the starting line up was not for me
Valley High School, I made it rain, told him your top scorer couldn't top forty
Trying cross over to the charts
But back then my cross over was an art
Skinny nigga stood about six feet flat with a rose gold cross over my heart
Start! The conversation talking about making moves
Or like the Hanes that I'm wearing keep it brief
Ima get back to trying to win with my Dream Team
Praying that we never see defeat
Cause I use to want to be just like Mike
Wanna ball out wanna ball out
Put them retro wings on and just take flight
Going all out going all out
Hoop dreams dead boy I deaded those
Had to fall out had to fall out
Now I got rich nigga goals instead of those
Still trying to ball out trying to ball out
Wanna ball out wanna ball out
Put them retro wings on and just take flight
Going all out going all out
Hoop dreams dead boy I deaded those
Had to fall out had to fall out
Now I got rich nigga goals instead of those
Still trying to ball out trying to ball out
Ay, fade away, fade away, fade away
I use to practice in the hood on a crate
It was an old past time watched it fade away
I do this rapping shit for good cause I'm great
Had to put them hoop dream on lay away
I planned to come back if I could but its late
Time to figure out how to get the pay today
Let's get active with the juug make the cake
Use to wanna pull up with the J
Now I wanna pull up with the Wraith
But I turned to the nigga never taking risk only changing baby pullups playing it safe

Wanna ball out wanna ball out

Going all out going all out

Still trying to ball out trying to ball out
