[00:03.21]I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
[00:06.66]And I stepped outside
[00:08.62]And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it’s gonna make me fly
[00:15.13]I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
[00:21.74]I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
[00:28.44]Air Max’s were next
[00:30.10]That air bubble, that mesh
[00:31.86]The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread, in school
[00:36.10]I was so cool
[00:37.17]I knew that I couldn’t crease 'em
[00:38.98]My friends couldn’t afford ‘em
[00:40.49]Four stripes, some Air-didas
[00:41.43]On the court I wasn’t the best, but my kicks were like the pros
[00:45.66]Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
[00:49.01]Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope
[00:51.76]And then my friend Carlos’ brother got murdered for his fours, whoa
[00:58.55]See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though
[01:02.61]Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
[01:05.59]You could clown for those Probings, with the velcro
[01:07.75]Those were not tight
[01:08.68]I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right
[01:14.34]Wanted to be him
[01:15.59]I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
[01:18.88]I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
[01:22.16]I wanted what he had, America, it begins
[01:25.76]I want to fly
[01:27.43]Can you take me far away
[01:32.20]Give me a star to reach for
[01:34.54]Tell me what it takes
[01:36.90]And I’ll go so high
[01:38.83]I’ll go so high
[01:40.82]My feet won’t touch the ground
[01:43.41]Stitch my wings
[01:45.06]And pull the strings
[01:46.70]I bought these dreams
[01:49.07]That all fall down
[01:51.46]We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it
[01:54.77]So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
[01:57.84]Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit
[02:01.01]A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
[02:04.54]Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid
[02:07.91]I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement
[02:12.13]My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
[02:15.77]They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
[02:17.86]Look at what that swoosh did
[02:19.43]See it consumed my thoughts
[02:21.13]Are you stupid, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box
[02:24.37]Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
[02:27.57]That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops
[02:30.89]We are what we wear, we wear what we are
[02:33.30]But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
[02:37.06]Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
[02:40.13]These Nikes help me define me, and I’m trying to take mine, off
