Hoop Dreams Lyrics

They say I got a way with handling my words

And nah, it wasn't easy building up my worth

Sacrifices made, they didn't believe at first

Hit the cut off now they wanna tell me that they hurt

Try telling that to momma that just lost her church

Now they sold the building like a pack of woods from the clerk

I'm a jerk now, going back to work now

Feeling motivated put 'em in a fucking hearse now

My dawgs eating, ring the bell now it's time for the chow

Broken legs before you'll ever see me take a bow

Takes a minute before, you the one that they talk about

Eyes everywhere like I'm walking through the crowd

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I rather stand alone then have a lot of fake friends

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I rather stand alone then have a lot of fake friends

I didn't really know what it took to make a dream

Since I was thirteen I could see me in the league

I swear no one could ever see me once I strapped the cleats

Had me in a tournament, it was a clean sweep

Thought I had it on the field till life made me see

I ain't the only nigga saying that it's gone be me

It put everything in perspective, had me analyzing thought like a detective

Intercepted, came back I'm reflective

Of whatever kind of attitude represented

In front of me, it could be fixed with an apology

But it go, hand and hand like that greed monopoly

Since a youngin I knew that's not how we taught to be

But some people don't take kindly towards the honesty

I got no worries so I brush it off me modestly

Cause there won't be another me, honestly

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I rather stand alone then have a lot of fake friends

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I don't blend in, I don't, I don't blend in

I rather stand alone then have a lot of fake friends
