Hoop Dreams

My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way

I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake

I throw all this money but it never fade away

Uh, hoop dreams

I used to shoot the rock until my nigga sold the rock

They try to block my shot, I'm taking rollies out the box

I used to go to practice just to work on my defence

Red and white jersey, red and white mean hit the fence

I was outside, tryna make another way

To cut the water off that soap shit that the NBA won't play

I'm tryna see a cheque tack back, let it stack

'Cause it's a long time before I see a contract

Mama, I can't help it, shit is getting real now

I know you want me in a jersey but we got these bills now

I know you want me on the court and not to visit me in court

I got you girl, just be a good sport

My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way

I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake

I throw all this money but it never fade away

Uh, hoop dreams

What the **** I look like going bassline

With this forty on my waste line?

What the **** I look like going bassline

With this forty on my waste line?

Shorty at my phone all the time,

Tryna **** me, that's a waste of time

Shorty at my phone all the time,

Tryna **** me, that's a waste of time

Sometimes I still feel like a hooper,

How I ball on niggas

Talking summertime to winter and to fall on niggas

I remember back when I couldn't even call on niggas

So tell me how I'm really 'posed to feel

What the **** I look like wasting all my time?

I got money on my line

Boggy forty on my hiphop

I make forty on my mind

I make forty in the day so I need eighty by my side

She ain't a dime

What the **** I look like talking to a nine?

I've been in and out my mind but I'm back up on my shit

Tryna get some niggas past us but they back up on my list

Mama, look what I cup, she always knew that I'd be rich

Now I rap and don't play ball

But I'm still balling in this bitch

My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way

I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake

I throw all this money but it never fade away

Uh, hoop dreams

What the **** I look like going bassline

With this forty on my waste line?

Hoop Dreams

What the **** I look like going bassline

With this forty on my waste line?

Hoop Dreams

Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna **** me

That's a waste of time

Hoop Dreams

Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna **** me

That's a waste of time
