1
I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
2
And I stepped outside
3
And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
4
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
5
I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
6
Air Max's were next,
7
That air bubble, that mesh
8
The box, the smell, the stuffin, the trend, in school
9
I was so cool
10
I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
11
My friends couldn't afford 'em
12
Four stripes in their Adidas
13
On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros
14
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
15
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope
16
And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa
17
See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though
18
Didn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
19
You could clown for those Probings, with the velcro
20
Those were not tight
21
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right
22
Wanted to be him
23
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
24
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
25
I wanted what he had, America, it begins
26
I want to fly
27
Can you take me far away
28
Give me a star to reach for
29
Tell me what it takes
30
And I'll go so high
31
I'll go so high
32
My feet won't touch the ground
33
Stitch my wings
34
And pull the strings
35
I bought these dreams
36
That all fall down
37
We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it
38
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
39
Got to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new shit
40
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
41
Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
42
I'm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement
43
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
44
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
45
Look at what that swoosh did
46
See it consumed my thoughts
47
Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box
48
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
49
That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
50
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
51
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
52
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
53
These Nikes help me define me, and I'm trying to take mine, off
54
I want to fly
55
Can you take me far away
56
Give me a star to reach for
57
Tell me what it takes
58
And I'll go so high
59
I'll go so high
60
My feet won't touch the ground
61
Stitch my wings
62
And pull the strings
63
I bought these dreams
64
That all fall down
65
They started out, with what I wear to school
66
That first day, like these are what make you cool
67
And this pair, this would be my parachute
68
So much more than just a pair of shoes
69
Nah, this is what I am
70
What I wore, this is the source of my youth
71
This dream that they sold to you
72
For a hundred dollars and some change
73
Consumption is in the veins
74
And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
