[00:02.31]I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
[00:06.46]And I stepped outside
[00:08.66]And I was like, momma, this air bubble right here
[00:12.05]It’s gonna make me fly
[00:15.21]I hit that court and when I jumped
[00:18.47]I jumped, I swear I got so high
[00:21.82]I touched the net, mom, I touched the net
[00:24.99]This is the best day of my life
[00:28.33]Air Max’s were next
[00:30.22]That air bubble, that mesh
[00:32.17]The box, the smell, the stuffin’, the tread
[00:35.59]At school, I was so cool
[00:37.10]I knew that I couldn’t crease ’em
[00:38.81]My friends couldn’t afford ’em
[00:40.42]Four stripes on their Adidas
[00:42.12]On the court I wasn’t the best
[00:43.50]But my kicks were like the pros
[00:45.39]Yo, I stick out my tongue
[00:46.86]So everyone could see that logo
[00:48.86]Nike Air Flight, book bag was so dope
[00:51.74]And then my friend Carlos’ brother
[00:53.71]Got murdered for his Fours, whoa
[00:58.27]See he just wanted a jump shot
[01:00.41]But they wanted his Starter coat, though
[01:02.42]Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
[01:05.14]You’d get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro
[01:07.54]Those were not tight
[01:08.91]I was trying to fly without leaving the ground
[01:11.75]Wanted to be him
[01:15.88]I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
[01:18.84]I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
[01:21.86]I wanted what he had, America, it begins
[01:26.05]I wanna fly
[01:27.69]Can you take me far away?
[01:31.92]Give me a star to reach for
[01:34.46]Tell me what it takes
[01:36.77]And I’ll go so high
[01:39.45]I’ll go so high
[01:41.06]My feet won’t touch the ground
[01:43.10]Just stitch my wings
[01:44.97]And pull the strings
[01:46.63]I bought these dreams
[01:48.90]That all fall down
[01:51.37]We want what we can’t have
[01:53.15]The commodity makes us want it
[01:54.62]So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
[01:57.50]Got to show ’em, so exclusive, this that new shit
[02:00.85]A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes
[02:03.31]I would never hoop in
[02:04.87]Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid
[02:07.71]I’m an individual, yeah, but I’m part of a movement
[02:10.76]My movement told me be a consumer
[02:13.08]And I consumed it
[02:14.30]They told me to just do it
[02:15.68]I listened to what that swoosh said
[02:17.60]Look at what that swoosh did
[02:19.33]See it consumed my thoughts
[02:20.91]Are you stupid, don’t crease ’em
[02:22.71]Just leave ’em in that box
[02:24.19]Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
[02:27.10]That’s my air bubble and I’m lost if it pops
[02:30.65]We are what we wear
[02:31.85]We wear what we are
[02:33.16]But see I look inside the mirror
[02:34.85]And think Phil Knight tricked us all
[02:36.88]Will I stand for change or stay in my box?
[02:39.62]These Nikes help me define me
[02:42.02]But I’m trying to take mine, off
[02:44.10]
[03:48.83]I wanna fly
[03:50.58]Can you take me far away?
[03:54.83]Give me a star to reach for
[03:57.30]Tell me what it takes
[03:59.42]And I’ll go so high
[04:02.23]I’ll go so high
[04:03.78]My feet won’t touch the ground
[04:06.37]Just stitch my wings
[04:07.85]And pull the strings
[04:09.79]I bought these dreams
[04:11.93]That all fall down
[04:14.53]
[04:27.67]It started out with what I wear to school
[04:29.76]That first day, like these are what make you cool
[04:32.75]And this pair, this would be my parachute
[04:36.04]So much more than just a pair of shoes
[04:38.75]Nah, this is what I am
[04:40.24]What I wore, this is the source of my youth
[04:42.10]This dream that they sold to you
[04:44.96]For a hundred dollars and some change
[04:47.48]Consumption is in the veins
[04:48.92]And now I see it’s just another pair of shoes
