BALLER


12 years old
i was sitting on the stand
watching the big bro doing their thang
fascinated by the moves
try to pull the same stunt
and my fav cartoon at that time was slam dunk
picked up the ball but didn\'t know how to handle
plus i had no shoes still wearing my sandals
them suckers tellin me to step my game up
and the girl i was tryin to get at said the same stuff
so 8 hours everyday on the court
freethrows, 3 points, try to make all the shots
the perseverance
wouldn\'t hesitate to try again
broke so many ankles that i wanna be like iverson
bitches drop their jaw when i shot, like in the 94
i was fast as lightning bro, you better use ur nike bro
but the coach told me that i ain\'t a big guy
\"i want u on the team but u just 5\'5\"

chorus:
so i bounce, crossover, give and go
pump fake, around the world, then finger roll
but still i lose the game
like a man
who never see his girl again

2 years later i made it to the school team
no more street ball, i just got into a new scene
i was a shortest
i was a point guard
i was a rookie
but i played it like an allstar
in my prime time it\'s not that i was unstoppable
it\'s just the other players to slow to be my obstacles
runnin the fastbreak early like the breakfast
player with most steal, i just broke the record
bitches were like: \"can u show me how to play ball\"
hit it so right that she wanna be my 8th ball
but baby i\'m a player, roaming like a skater
kick push with u tonight but you will never see me later
we made it to the final game
heard the fans screaming my name
shot a Tear Drop, landed, and then i felt the pain
my back hurt, doctor said i\'d never play again
walked away, and i knew it never gonna be the same

chorus:
so i bounce, crossover, give and go
pump fake, around the world, then finger roll
but still i lose the game
like a man
who never see his girl again

outtro:
i usually take a walk to the park
it\'s like take a walk to the past in the dark
but still i lose the game
like a man, who never see his girl again
