Hoop Dreams
Look, uh Goldsouls
Steph, we got another one man
I lost my grandmomma five years ago
Still ain't let it go
Depression steady killing my growth
It's complicated algebraic
No matter the slope
I'll never feel like I'm on top of the hill
So keep your accolades, just give me the bills
Cause reparations what that white man owe
I laid the seeds now I reap what I sow
Who'd ever thought I'd blossom
Now you should hear the gossip
Should of supported back then
Instead of playing possum
And every chick I couldn't get
Now a nigga got em'
Them same chicks play the bench
They never make the roster
I reminisce about the nights filled with Henny celebrating life like I wasn't empty
Trying to make the family proud
Without no penny, we took a drive down rodeo
It opened our eyes
Whole time I'm hoping inside
She lower her pride
And forgive me for the bullshit
Just stick by my side
Cause I know I need a down chick
To fulfill this ride, at times I'm feeling hopeless
How many make it out the hood
Without a pink notice
Media's only focus
Is where the next vote is
A bunch of fucking vultures all for exposure
They don't fuck with the culture, uh
I'm making moves like Jews it's all kosher
Chilling off the coast of Rica
Only plans I have for the future
A legend in your speaker
And I never need a feature nigga
Every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Yeah, cause every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Yeah, every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Uh, cause every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Uh, Back when I lived at 801
Playing D-Money one on one
He was one of one
Should of made it to the league
4th Ward's illest breed
Don't ever doubt it
Another rose from the concrete
Look how I sprouted
On the verge of reaching heights
They never assumed
Feel like Mike in '83
When he was walking the moon
I'm something special
I've been schooled, don't let em' test you
This is God's work with perks
I'm just a vessel, uhh
Y'all do it for the gram
I'm doing for my fam, just hold a nigga down
While I execute the plan
Got hunger in my eyes, if you ain't the squad
Then you prey, you can't tell I'm on a mission
Lost some niggas long the way
Cause they couldn't see the vision
Too stuck in the tunnel, can't let your fears run you
Gotta go after mine, giving it all I got
Even if I miss
Well at least I took the shot
Every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Yeah, cause every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Yeah, every nigga got
Hoop dreams
Uh, cause every nigga got
Hoop dreams
