to rock them old school kicks
Nah, not them dope Jordans
Used to have to rock them old torn shits
Momma bought them couple sizes too big
So that I could grow into them
Said that my shoes wasn't cool or fresh
But I just crack a crooked smile
looking down new pair of shoes.
Oh, yes, mama said they last longer
Maybe they'll stronger have to learn
to make them shoes look good
Double up my socks to keep my
smoke a couple cigarettes,
which probably did me wrong
I used to patch it all right at the toe
attached to you right at the sole
Matching those kicks with an outfit
mama couldn't afford more than
Throughout the school year
Same pair through the summer time
But overall we were doing just fine
But I still always wished
that I could have a nice pair of kicks
With them ragged tennis shoes
Schooling kids of all sorts
Shitty kicks in all sports
I let em know it ain't all about the shoes
Man, you gotta put your heart and soul in it
Watching those commercials
with Michael Jordan and Spike Lee
you gotta have them Nikes
even though I love them Jordan 3s
And we couldn't afford them didn't mean
I couldn't be the king of my court
from dedicating these hours every week
Man, I used to rock them hand
just to put them shoes back to gether
And then I broke the school
Over to the other side of town
Cause my step pops was putting in work
An underground mind over time
In the earth, in the dirt,
where the roughnecks lurk
And Nikes on my feet, yo,
Rocking my Adidas like Run -DMC
Feeling fresh and so clean like Andre Brie
Triple O and that boy comma B .I .G
I really thought I was the shit though
I thought I had more game than Nintendo
My family fi nally came up,
But every time I lace them up
I reminisce though to win
Same pair through the winter
All throughout the school year
Same pair through the summer time
But overall we were doing just fine
But I still always wished that I
could have a nice pair of kicks
Yo this for all my sneakerheads
I used to rock the most good kicks
