SaDiCi - Hoop Dreams lyrics

They say its only one shot They say its only one shot But i must of sunk a thousand in Play until i give up Till i feel powerless All these swishes that im getting in For the people that just doubted it I swear I'mma make it, just so then I can smile to the people that said I won't amount to sh** Air Jordans what I'm wearing now Tearing out my hair It's scary when my your grades are down They don't understand it how I'd rather be more than a routine that I'm expected follow But my dreams seeming hollow, will i make it by tomorrow? Only god knows 5 am i hit the courts, at 9 i got the school to go Dedication flowing through my veins, get the ball and dribble slow This is my moment, my mind drifts Game shot boy, 3 seconds is you gon' miss? It's your time, your time to show them If you sink it in, you win it then the game is yours Forever that's a legacy they'll know you for That ring, that record, one shot, it can all be yours 2 seconds and you let it go You let it go, you let it go, Right when it gets near Your dribbling in the gym, Cuz your still right here They say its only one shot They say its only one shot Hoop dreams Hoop dreams, dreams Don't treat your dreams as a hobby but rather a future-career Feel the opportunity, its approaching you near Times is hard, saying "what if" is the only thing you fear The struggle doesn't stop, it only gets higher Gotta little job for the summer, then you fired Every time you go on the net, your inspired And you praying someday, your number on the jersey is retired You tryna not destroy them Jordans Low income, that must a cost a fortune You wonder how much he makes from endorsements You wanna get your line of shoe, that slogan If you ever get noticed Cuz you know it, you know your the best on the court They tell you to work and you will get it, but you getting no support Your city is not meant to succeed in the sport And your thinking you might be the change and the hope The pain all just grows, and your shooting that basket You stand all alone, and its raining some more You been out here all day with a goal That you won't settle until the day that your making the pros You won't settle until the day that your making the pros Nobody tell me different, I'm strong yeah All i gotta do is be seen, get a contract Put me in the gym, show me where the ball at Looking at the game, at everybody like ya'll whack This ain't a game, man up if you lost that Dunking on anybody in my way, better fall back Better fall back, tryna get to that pedestal Incredible, men lie, women lie, but numbers don't Remaining relevant, I'm telling them It's evident, every time i put on a show I'm so determined, so much effort Im just praying that its working Better than anybody at my age, remaining by today If i fall off, it'll be with style like Jordan in '88 Opening these lanes, The crowd cheering my name When i win that championship, and that ring is on my hand Understand the grind and the pain The sacrifices, to get where you wanna go And pa** the nicest, players to ever play the game Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James That's your idols, but you wanna be better when you go play You wanna be better when you go play You wanna be better when you go play
