Wings

I was seven -----    old, when I got my first pair
I stepped outside 
And I was like, Momma , this air bubble right here, it’s gonna make me fly 
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I ------ I swear I got so high 
I touched the net, Mom I touched the ---.. this is the best day of my---- 
Air Max’s were next, 
That air bubble, that mesh 
The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread. At ------
I was so cool 
I knew that I couldn’t crease ‘em 
My ------- couldn’t afford ‘em 
Four stripes on their Adidas 
On the court I wasn’t the best, but my kicks were like the pro's
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that ---- 
Nike Air Flight , book bag was so dope 
And then my friend Carlos’ brother got murdered for his Fours, whoa 
See he just wanted a jump ----, but they wanted his Starter coat though 
Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to ------ 
You get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro 
Those were not tight 
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right 
Wanted to be him 
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the ---

I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in 
I wanted what he had, America, it begins 

Chorus: 
I want to --- 
Can you take me far away 
Give me a ---- to reach for 
Tell me what it takes 
And I’ll go so high 
I’ll go so high 
My feet won’t touch the ground 
its my ----- 
That pull the strings 
I bought these dreams 
That all fall down 

We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it 
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it 
Got to show ‘em, so -------, this that new shoe

A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in 
Look at me, ---- at me, I’m a cool --- 
I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement 
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it 
They told me to ---- -- --, I listened to what that swoosh said 
Look at what that swoosh did 
See it consumed my thoughts 
Are you ------, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box 
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk 
That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops 
We are what we wear, we ---- what we are 
But --- I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all 
Will I stand for change, or stay in my --- 
These Nikes help me define me, but I’m trying to take mine, off 

Chorus: 
I want to ---
Can you take me far away 
Give me a ---- to reach for 
Tell me what it takes 
And I’ll go so high 
I’ll go so high 
My feet won’t touch the ground 
cause it's my ----- 
That pull the strings 
I bought these dreams 
That all fall down 

They started out, with what I wear to ----- 
That first day, like these are what make you cool 
And this pair, this would be my parachute
So much more than just a pair of ----- 
Nah, this is what I am 
---- I wore, this is the source of my youth 
This ----- that they sold to you 
For a hundred dollars and some change 
Consumption is in the veins 
And now I see it’s just another pair of -----
