Wing $（By Cali ）-Mr.Cali |
| [00:01.80] |
I was seven years old,when I got my first pair |
| [00:05.830] |
And I stepped outside |
| [00:07.890] |
And I was like,Momma,this air bubble right here,it's gonna make me fly |
| [00:14.250] |
I hit that court,and when I jumped,I jumped,I swear I got so high |
| [00:20.860] |
I touched the net,Mom I touched the net,this is the best day of my life |
| [00:27.110] |
Air Maxes were next |
| [00:29.170] |
That air bubble,that mesh |
| [00:30.970] |
The box,the smell,the stuffin,the tread,in school |
| [00:34.710] |
I was so cool |
| [00:35.960] |
I knew that I couldn't crease 'em |
| [00:37.590] |
My friends couldn't afford 'em |
| [00:39.90] |
Four stripes on their Adidas |
| [00:40.640] |
On the court I wasn't the best,but my kicks were like the pros |
| [00:44.20] |
Yo,I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo |
| [00:47.520] |
Nike Air Flight,but bad was so dope |
| [00:50.440] |
And then my friend Carlos'brother got murdered for his fours,whoa |
| [00:56.370] |
See he just wanted a jump shot,but they wanted a Starter coat though |
| [01:00.430] |
Didn't wanna get caught,from Genesee Park to Othello |
| [01:03.610] |
You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings,with the velcro |
| [01:06.290] |
Those were not tight |
| [01:07.160] |
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground,cause I wanted to be like Mike,right |
| [01:12.600] |
Wanted to be him |
| [01:13.840] |
I wanted to be that guy,I wanted to touch the rim |
| [01:17.210] |
I wanted to be cool,and I wanted to fit in |
| [01:20.270] |
I wanted what he had,America,it begins |
| [01:24.10] |
I want to fly |
| [01:25.700] |
Can you take me far away |
| [01:30.690] |
Give me a star to reach for |
| [01:33.120] |
Tell me what it takes |
| [01:35.250] |
And I'll go so high |
| [01:37.620] |
I'll go so high |
| [01:39.240] |
My feet won't touch the ground |
| [01:41.860] |
Stitch my wings |
| [01:43.490] |
And pull the strings |
| [01:45.100] |
I bought these dreams |
| [01:47.350] |
That all fall down |
| [01:49.850] |
We want what we can't have,commodity makes us want it |
| [01:53.340] |
So expensive,damn,I just got to flaunt it |
| [01:56.220] |
Got to show 'em,so exclusive,this that new shit |
| [01:59.710] |
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in |
| [02:03.200] |
Look at me,look at me,I'm a cool kid |
| [02:06.260] |
I'm an individual,yea,but I'm part of a movement |
| [02:09.380] |
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it |
| [02:12.370] |
They told me to just do it,I listened to what that swoosh said |
| [02:15.300] |
Look at what that swoosh did |
| [02:17.620] |
See it consumed my thoughts |
| [02:19.550] |
Are you stupid,don't crease 'em,just leave 'em in that box |
| [02:22.430] |
Strangled by these laces,laces I can barely talk |
| [02:25.410] |
That's my air bubble and I'm lost,if it pops |
| [02:29.30] |
We are what we wear,we wear what we are |
| [02:31.470] |
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all |
| [02:35.210] |
Will I stand for change,or stay in my box |
| [02:38.20] |
These Nikes help me define me,and I'm trying to take mine,off |
| [02:45.760] |
Yeah,Cali is my name,and my pride |
| [02:52.430] |
And then i looked down,i saw the skies |
| [02:57.170] |
Smiling at me,pulling my strings and stitching my wings |
| [03:04.350] |
It makes me fly,so freaking high |
| [03:10.400] |
So i believe in everything in myself |
| [03:13.900] |
Cuz this is my wings |
| [03:18.290] |
And i gotta keep it going |
| [03:34.630] |
I want to fly |
| [03:36.760] |
Can you take me far away |
| [03:41.560] |
Give me a star to reach for |
| [03:43.870] |
Tell me what it takes |
| [03:46.120] |
And I'll go so high |
| [03:48.420] |
I'll go so high |
| [03:50.50] |
My feet won't touch the ground |
| [03:52.600] |
Stitch my wings |
| [03:54.230] |
And pull the strings |
| [03:55.850] |
I bought these dreams |
| [03:58.220] |
That all fall down |
| [04:13.440] |
They started out,with what I wear to school |
| [04:16.130] |
That first day,like these are what make you cool |
| [04:19.560] |
And this pair,this would be my parachute |
| [04:21.870] |
So much more than just a pair of shoes |
| [04:24.870] |
Nah,this is what I am |
| [04:26.800] |
What I wore,this is the source of my youth |
| [04:29.170] |
This dream that they sold to you |
| [04:32.110] |
For a hundred dollars and some change |
| [04:33.910] |
Consumption is in the veins |
| [04:35.220] |
And now I see it's just another pair of shoes |
