Sage The Gemini - Hoop Dreams lyrics

[Hook] My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake I throw all this money but it never fade away Uh, hoop dreams [Verse 1] I used to shoot the rock until my n***a sold the rock They try to block my shot, I'm taking rollies out the box I used to go to practice just to work on my defence Red and white jersey, red and white mean hit the fence I was outside, tryna make another way To cut the water off that soap sh** that the NBA won't play I'm tryna see a cheque tack back, let it stack 'Cause it's a long time before I see a contract Mama, I can't help it, sh** is getting real now I know you want me in a jersey but we got these bills now I know you want me on the court and not to visit me in court I got you girl, just be a good sport [Hook] My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake I throw all this money but it never fade away Uh, hoop dreams What the f** I look like going ba**line with this forty on my waste line? What the f** I look like going ba**line with this forty on my waste line? Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna f** me, that's a waste of time Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna f** me, that's a waste of time [Verse 2: Yhung T.O.] Sometimes I still feel like a hooper, how I ball on n***as Talking summertime to winter and to fall on n***as I remember back when I couldn't even call on n***as So tell me how I'm really 'posed to feel What the f** I look like wasting all my time? I got money on my line [?] I make forty in the day so I need eighty by my side She ain't a dime What the f** I look like talking to a nine? I've been in and out my mind but I'm back up on my sh** Tryna get some n***as past us but they back up on my list Mama, look what I cup, she always knew that I'd be rich Now I rap and don't play ball but I'm still balling in this b**h [Hook] My mama wanted me to be a baller but I ball a different way I look at my Rolex, say it's time to get this cake I throw all this money but it never fade away Uh, hoop dreams What the f** I look like going ba**line with this forty on my waste line? What the f** I look like going ba**line with this forty on my waste line? Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna f** me, that's a waste of time Shorty at my phone all the time, tryna f** me, that's a waste of time
