Jesus is the best thing that happened to the game[00:00:00]

Since the tennis shoe was invented[00:00:02]

On the outs I lace up the world I face up[00:00:09]

To score on anybody it's war on everybody[00:00:12]

The new guys come in blood shot between the eyes[00:00:14]

As long as their sellin' that merchandise[00:00:17]

And one what goes in don't come back[00:00:20]

The color may be green but it's also black[00:00:22]

And red I know many heads that spent bloodshed[00:00:24]

Cursed in converses dead in Pro Keds[00:00:27]

Now every Tom Dick Harry or Joe Smith[00:00:30]

Skip the spauldings pony's and K-Swiss[00:00:32]

High school and college coaches gettin'[00:00:35]

Kickbacks from scholarships and them slave ships[00:00:37]

Converses for the pros kids with Filas[00:00:40]

Reebok Nikes New Balance my Adidas[00:00:43]

Ain't part of that clique spendin' all the chits on kicks[00:00:45]

PS in the politics[00:00:48]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:00:50]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:00:53]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:00:56]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:00:58]

Hey Dr J where you got those moves[00:01:01]

Was it gettin' high in the schools can it be the shoes [00:01:03]

Truth is truth I tear the f**kin' roof off the house[00:01:06]

Expose them foes with my mouth[00:01:09]

I see corporate hands up in foreign lands[00:01:11]

With the man behind the man gettin' paid behind the man[00:01:14]

I hold the rocket stop the hand in my pocket[00:01:17]

200 a pair but I'm addicted to the gear[00:01:19]

They'll make me do things on the court to amaze ya[00:01:21]

I heard they make 'em for a buck 8 in Asia[00:01:24]

They came a long way baby since[00:01:27]

Clyde Frazier had Pumas pullin' mad consumers[00:01:28]

Them Filas I'm feelin' but I cant touch the ceiling[00:01:32]

Them New Balance hits 120 million[00:01:35]

The last thing I need is Adidas terminatin' my contract[00:01:37]

For wearing those old pair of wack[00:01:40]

Reebok low tops covered up by floppy socks[00:01:42]

Gave me a jump shot before I got jumped and shot[00:01:45]

Duckin' a word from my sponsor[00:01:47]

Trying to end my year like Kwaanza[00:01:49]

Converses for the pros kids with Filas[00:01:52]

Reebok Nikes New Balance my Adidas[00:01:55]

Ain't part of that clique spendin' all the chits on kicks[00:01:57]

PS in the politics[00:02:00]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:02:02]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:02:05]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:02:08]

Politics of them sneaker pimps[00:02:10]

Been paid since the 8th grade[00:02:13]

11th grader pop the champagne[00:02:15]

12th grade start the campaign[00:02:18]

Gettin' fame sign my name in the dotted frame[00:02:21]

Nike got me pullin' re's and g's[00:02:23]

Sh*t I can get shot for these[00:02:26]

Please God give me 20 more years in these knees[00:02:28]

To maintain without this game I gotta do keys[00:02:31]

And I don't wanna go there because it's f**kin' everywhere[00:02:34]

Factories wanna see me kids wanna be me[00:02:36]

Behind the wheels and endorsement deals[00:02:39]

It's the politics and the tricks behind the kicks[00:02:41]
