LETRA (VER LETRA CON ACORDES)

I was seven years old, when I got my first pair

I stepped outside, And I was like, Momma

this air bubble right here, it s gonna make me fly


I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high

I touched the net, Mom I touched the net.. this is the best day of my life


Air Max s were next, That air bubble, that mesh

The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread.

At school, I was so cool I knew that I couldn t crease em

My friends couldn t afford em

Four stripes on their Adidas


On the court I wasn t the best, but my kicks were like the pro s

Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo

Nike Air Flight , book bag was so dope

And then my friend Carlos brother got murdered for his Fours, whoa


See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted his Starter coat though

Didn t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello

You get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro

Those were not tight

I was trying to fly without leaving the ground,

cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right


Wanted to be him

I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in

I wanted what he had, America, it begins

REFRÃO

I want to fly

Can you take me far away


Give me a star to reach for


Tell me what it takes

And I ll go so high

I ll go so high

My feet won t touch the ground

So stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down



We want what we can t have, commodity makes us want it

So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it

Got to show em, so exclusive, this that new shoes

A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in


Look at me, look at me, I m a cool kid

I m an individual, yea, but I m part of a movement

My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it

They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said


Look at what that swoosh did See it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid, don t crease em, just leave em in that box

Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk

That s my air bubble and I m lost, if it pops


We are what we wear, we wear what we are

But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Nike tricked us all

Will I stand for change, or stay in my box

These Nikes help me define me, but I m trying to take mine, off







I want to fly

Can you take me far away

Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes

And I ll go so high

I ll go so high

My feet won t touch the ground

So stitch my wings and pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down




They started out, with what I wear to school

That first day, like these are what make you cool

And this pair, this would be my parachute

So much more than just a pair of shoes

Nah, this is what I am, What I wore, this is the source of my youth

This dream that they sold to you

For a hundred dollars and some change, Consumption is in the veins

And now I see it s just another pair of shoes
