Retired Jerseys

You know, the game is played from all levels man
You got high school
Collegiate, professional
And, the craziest thing is...
You never know when your last play...
Is gone be your last play
Gotta cherish the moment

If I were you I'd tend to my checks and balances
Liable you'll stop with the malice and see your talent is
Not rooted in other bodies but the internal
All of these missing lessons they should offer paternal
Leave but that probably breaks your bank and time commitment
No wonder you in the mirror and feel resentment
Take off that pendant and make it do with a rubber band
Stack your winter up for summer
And when summer jam

We on the beach with it
Fucking round in Georgia
Prolly get ya peach pitted
In a Panthers territory, I'll Steve smith him
From writing essays to writing remixes
Oh how so much can change in a year
Veteran on that corner I'm starting, Jabari Greer
I'll Tracy port ya
One false move, you deported
Scoring drives don't get remembered unless you scoring
Where's the order
Judges telling lies
Prosecutor leaking information in disguise
I got a homey running jury every other week
Say every session it's a nigga same age as we
Shit disappointing cause I know what them boys could've did
3-7 same field not a talent was hid
Then after hours you can see where trajectory slid
They started 3rd shift I went back to being a kid
Damn

How grateful I am for my positioning
I'm tryna use the right words when I'm sentencing
Speak my thoughts to therapist named Benjamin
News worthy stories saw nothing but I witnessed it

We classified those purchases as burdens
At a point I ate twice my weight, Michael Irvin
Every date that I was on her neighborhood was suburban
478 so you duck when you chilling and see suburbans
Understood at 19 that I lived for a different purpose
By 21 start questioning is it worth it or worthless
Hate it when they mention the generational curses
Cause if
I got a chance ain't gone pass it down to my person
Pass it down to Tyree
Could be helmet catching he worried bout a degree
Pulling Siamese guarantee or go to the league
You got more paths them roads just hard to see
And I can't blame him, shit
Cause I sought both of them lives
Trailblazing difficult when you mentor deprived
Why I'm being conscious with every subject and line
Why I road-trip instead of expediting through skies
Why, I

How grateful I am for my positioning
I'm tryna use the right words when I'm sentencing
Speak my thoughts to therapist named Benjamin
News worthy stories saw nothing but I witnessed it

You the best thing I never had and I ain't had a lot of shit
College kid, graduated, still on scholarship
Four years dedicated to books
Was on my scholar shit
School ain't for em' all find yourself before you go commit
Look at me
Rapping in the corner of my kitchen
Cause I'm lacking confidence in post-secondary decisions
Should've went to Juliard know I could've been a musician
They only reading music and striking chords with precision
Not to strike a chord but it's simple let's keep it factual
Practiced my whole life for a talent that ain't even practical
I could work for days and still status myself sabbatical
Rest is for the wise but I skip it to meet the status quo
True goal to be on my John and Jordan Babineaux
Mentioned when discussing this art form I'm Calico
Make the biggest play on the biggest stage I'm Plaxico
Asking why you broke out ya shell
What else is hatching for

How grateful I am for my positioning
I'm tryna use the right words when I'm sentencing
Speak my thoughts to therapist named Benjamin
News worthy stories saw, Shh
Y'all know the hook
