Reks - Jump Shots lyrics

Bad boy Piston 89'
I was trying to be like number 11
Shorty with the dimes
I ain't talking block baggin' 'til
The block passin' time
Zeke Thomas, we had similar dramas
Similar mamas
Related to his tale, a future promise
He from Chicago, Lawrence's all that I know
But, I saw the similar dilemma
The harsh hold on lost souls
Pops gone, eyes closed, christmas morn'
Wishing for a new Spalding
Needed to change their logo from
Jerry West to Jordan
Saw them hoop dreams turn pipe dreams
When in the night fiends, lean
Drug dealers whip is so clean
MCs jewels is so flashy and
Pippen posterize Patrick Ewing, so nasty
Class be boring as hell
Trying to pay attention
Then jigga dropped that "Hard Knocked
Life" teaching lessons about

Hood dreams hoop it up in Hip Hop
Settled on the mic
Cause, I ain't had a wicked jump shot
(a wicked jump shot)
I ain't had a wicked jump shot
Settled on the mic
Cause, I ain't had a wicked jump shot
(wicked jump shot)

Hood dreams hoop it up in Hip Hop
Settled on the mic
Cause, I ain't had a wicked jump shot
(wicked jump shot)
I ain't had a wicked jump shot
Settled on the mic (on the mic, on the mic)

Leaders of the new came to my school watching
The young Busta bust, fuck shit up
That energy the pinpoint
The precise point in life and enemy
To gather thoughts mentally
Jot them down rhythmically
Walk through town processing sounds
Of the city millcity ain't seeing mills low
To them Hava Hills really damn right 'em
Rich history forgotten
Got to talkin' with ma momma
But the longer she discover
When she first came to
Mass from South Carolina
Before ho wanna follow behind her
