I had hoop dreams And they taught me bout the true things Like how to pick yourself up by your shoe strings And how to bring yourself down from a mood swing I stand next to LeBron like now there's 2 Kings (Chosen) I bet you think that I'm a failure I bet you do everything that your momma tells ya I bet you think you're alive walking in line But you never even cried after G-baby died I'm serving tables just to turn the tables The angel hair is from Naples and we got herbs with basil I'm so sick of the spiel at every meal but It pay the bills so I can say how I feel My ears ringing I'm a little off kilter They think that I've wilted tell them they got to chill Keep it 100 like wilt I know you think I'm a square But I turn into a diamond when you look with a tilt There's something that you should know I'm always true to the code Cuz when it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's toll Till' you've seen all the blood splattered You can't tell me to chill on such matters The juice tampers your soul and nothing matters Them nut crackers'll turn thug rappers to Bruce Banners I remember playing AAU I had my heart on my sleeve with the A.I. shoes The way I shoots a little like the way I move You only see my head down to taunt Tyron Lue (I'm stepping over) When I started well they never would start me So I had to write my name on the ball Put it in Sharpie And I dribbled till' it faded I stopped going to parties Now the devil stand still as a Barbie you can't guard me There's something that you should know I'm always true to the code Cuz when it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's toll When it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's toll When it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's roll When it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's toll When it all falls short I'm getting the shooter's toll
