[00:00.000] 作曲 : Andrew Joslyn/Ryan Lewis
[00:03.010]I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
[00:06.760]And I stepped outside
[00:08.700]And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
[00:15.000]
[00:15.260]I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
[00:21.070]
[00:21.890]I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
[00:27.760]
[00:28.640]Air Maxes were next
[00:30.450]That air bubble, that mesh
[00:32.320]The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread, in school
[00:36.320]I was so cool
[00:37.510]I knew that I couldn't crease ‘em
[00:39.010]My friends couldn't afford ‘em
[00:40.570]Four stripes on their Adidas
[00:42.320]On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros
[00:45.000]
[00:45.700]Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
[00:48.000]
[00:48.820]Nike Air Flight, but bad was so shittin
[00:51.510]
[00:52.010]And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his force, whoa
[00:55.570]
[00:58.760]See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted a Starter coat though
[01:02.000]
[01:02.760]Didn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
[01:05.000]
[01:05.950]You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro
[01:08.020]
[01:08.900]Those were not tight
[01:09.520]I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cause I wanted to be like Mike, right
[01:14.000]
[01:14.770]Wanted to be him
[01:15.830]I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
[01:18.960]I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
[01:22.150]I wanted what he had, America, it begins
[01:25.710]I want to fly
[01:27.280]Can you take me far away
[01:31.590]
[01:32.400]Give me a star to reach for
[01:35.520]Tell me what it takes
[01:37.090]And I'll go so high
[01:39.460]I'll go so high
[01:41.150]My feet won't touch the ground
[01:43.090]
[01:43.710]Stitch my wings
[01:44.650]And pull the strings
[01:46.780]I bought these dreams
[01:49.150]That all fall down
[01:51.830]We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it
[01:54.970]So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
[01:57.650]
[01:58.150]Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit
[02:01.090]A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
[02:05.000]
[02:05.030]Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
[02:08.030]I'm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement
[02:10.650]
[02:11.460]My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
[02:14.590]They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
[02:18.000]
[02:18.220]Look at what that swoosh did
[02:19.530]See it consumed my thoughts
[02:21.150]Are you stupid, don't crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box
[02:24.000]
[02:24.590]Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
[02:26.120]
[02:27.430]That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
[02:31.120]We are what we wear, we wear what we are
[02:33.370]But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
[02:36.680]
[02:37.250]Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
[02:40.060]These Nikes help me define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off
[02:43.120]
[03:48.850]I want to fly
[03:50.410]Can you take me far away
[03:55.290]Give me a star to reach for
[03:58.790]Tell me what it takes
[04:00.110]And I'll go so high
[04:01.660]
[04:02.350]I'll go so high
[04:04.050]My feet won't touch the ground
[04:06.610]Stitch my wings
[04:08.230]And pull the strings
[04:09.790]I bought these dreams
[04:11.990]That all fall down
[04:13.040]
[04:27.540]They started out, with what I wear to school
[04:29.800]That first day, like these are what make you cool
[04:32.990]And this pair, this would be my parachute
[04:35.920]So much more than just a pair of shoes
[04:38.680]Nah, this is what I am
[04:40.170]What I wore, this is the source of my youth
[04:42.550]This dream that they sold to you
[04:45.550]For a hundred dollars and some change
[04:48.300]Consumption is in the veins
[04:49.180]And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
