[00:03.00]I was seven years old when I got my first pair
[00:06.75]And I stepped outside
[00:08.69]And I was like Momma this air bubble right here it's gonna make me fly
[00:15.26]I hit that court and when I jumped I jumped I swear I got so high
[00:21.88]I touched the net Mom I touched the net this is the best day of my life
[00:28.63]Air Maxes were next
[00:30.44]That air bubble that mesh
[00:32.32]The box the smell the stuffin the tread in school
[00:36.32]I was so cool
[00:37.51]I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
[00:39.00]My friends couldn't afford 'em
[00:40.57]Four stripes on their Adidas
[00:42.32]On the court I wasn't the best but my kicks were like the pros
[00:45.69]Yo I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
[00:48.82]Nike Air Flight but bad was so dope
[00:52.01]And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours whoa
[00:58.76]See he just wanted a jump shot but they wanted a Starter coat though
[01:02.76]Didn't wanna get caught from Genesee Park to Othello
[01:05.94]You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings with the velcro
[01:08.89]Those were not tight
[01:09.51]I was trying to fly without leaving the ground cause I wanted to be like Mike right
[01:14.76]Wanted to be him
[01:15.83]I wanted to be that guy I wanted to touch the rim
[01:18.95]I wanted to be cool and I wanted to fit in
[01:22.14]I wanted what he had America it begins
[01:25.71]I want to fly
[01:27.27]Can you take me far away
[01:32.40]Give me a star to reach for
[01:35.52]Tell me what it takes
[01:37.09]And I'll go so high
[01:39.46]I'll go so high
[01:41.14]My feet won't touch the ground
[01:43.70]Stitch my wings
[01:44.64]And pull the strings
[01:46.77]I bought these dreams
[01:49.14]That all fall down
[01:51.83]We want what we can't have commodity makes us want it
[01:54.96]So expensive damn I just got to flaunt it
[01:58.14]Got to show 'em so exclusive this that new s**t
[02:01.09]A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
[02:05.02]Look at me look at me I'm a cool kid
[02:08.02]I'm an individual yea but I'm part of a movement
[02:11.46]My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
[02:14.58]They told me to just do it I listened to what that swoosh said
[02:18.21]Look at what that swoosh did
[02:19.52]See it consumed my thoughts
[02:21.15]Are you stupid don't crease 'em just leave 'em in that box
[02:24.59]Strangled by these laces laces I can barely talk
[02:27.43]That's my air bubble and I'm lost if it pops
[02:31.11]We are what we wear we wear what we are
[02:33.36]But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
[02:37.24]Will I stand for change or stay in my box
[02:40.05]These Nikes help me define me and I'm trying to take mine off
[03:48.85]I want to fly
[03:50.41]Can you take me far away
[03:55.29]Give me a star to reach for
[03:58.79]Tell me what it takes
[04:00.11]And I'll go so high
[04:02.35]I'll go so high
[04:04.04]My feet won't touch the ground
[04:06.61]Stitch my wings
[04:08.23]And pull the strings
[04:09.79]I bought these dreams
[04:11.98]That all fall down
[04:27.54]They started out with what I wear to school
[04:29.80]That first day like these are what make you cool
[04:32.98]And this pair this would be my parachute
[04:35.92]So much more than just a pair of shoes
[04:38.67]Nah this is what I am
[04:40.17]What I wore this is the source of my youth
[04:42.54]This dream that they sold to you
[04:45.54]For a hundred dollars and some change
[04:48.29]Consumption is in the veins
[04:49.17]And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
