Hoop Dreams

[Verse 1: Azad Right] First love was basketball, joined the team round third grade I was too young for the, sign ups so we, lied about my birthday But I still balled, short kid so to me everybody real tall Coming off the bench, I was like the tenth man but I still got steals dog I stuck with it, my game kinda sucked But I worked hard as fuck so they fucked with it The young homie, I was always on call Like hit me when you tryna get them runs homie The first to the park but the last to get picked The story of my life, ain't that some shit I ain't got no height, I ain't no bounce And I can't shoot the three? Ain't that a bitch Man, I hated training, fuck the weight room shit, I stayed complaining I never saw results so I stayed impatient I quit playing ball man, I lost myself for a while, gotta thank the Amazing grace of The Hip-Hop Gods for converting me over to the dark side It split me and my crew down the middle like Apartheid so you know I had to let the song cry I guess we found out where my heart lies huh You can still see where the scars lie bruh Look, 5'10 with the soul of a 6'6 cat with a 7 ft wingspan I still got game like an 06 Kobe, I don' need no muhfucking wingman The mic is my ball and the stage is my court And LA is my home, I'm the Kingpin, homie The king with the pen, get it? Don't forget it When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice Traveling the world, still committed to my city And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me King with the pen, double cup of Henny And the Lakers are my team so the out of towners envy No matter where we are, still committed to the city And everybody wit me screaming... [Hook: Azad Right] I still got hoop dreams (Hoop… Dreams) X4 King with the pen, get it, don't forget it When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice Traveling the world, still committed to the city And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me King with the pen, double cup of Henny And the Lakers are my team, so the outta towners envy No matter where we are, still committed to the city And everybody wit me screaming… [Verse 2: AHE] [Hook]
