Lyrics

[Verse 1: Flight Gang DraE] Wanted to go to the pros Then, fell in love with the flows Hooping was all that I loved Then fell in love with the hoes I was just tryna he Kobe Then, fell in love with the dough I gotta get it by any means Hustle is all that I know I use to study the greats I use to play back their tapes From Kobe to 2Pac to Michael My Nas to Magic to Nate I use to dig in the crates I couldn't stop had no brakes Surrounded myself with the real Excluded myself from the fakes Took out my anger with ball Healed up my pain with the bars Ain't talkin Mollys or Percs I'm talking lyrics that's hard Then, started killing these n*ggas They use to say I was hard My flow was out of this world I'm talking Venus and Mars Now, I just ride foreign cars Now, I just stack up the cake I gotta make it forreal I do whatever it takes Failure's no option to me Learned that from Lloyd Banks and Nip' Hustle, it gotta be grand My n*gga I learned that from Tip I keep the thang on my hip I try my best not to slip I try my best to hold on I tightened up with my grip It took some time to get here I ain't blow up off the rip And I'm still chasin my dreams Chasin the dough make it flip, uh! [Pre-Chorus] I use to hoop dream Dream I would be in the league Dream of them chanting my name Andre for MVP That went away after while I fell in love with the cheese I fell in love with the music Music is all that I need Uh [Chorus] Hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams Ohh ooh ooooh oh [Verse 2: Glenn] Just a n*gga with some hoop dreams Anything for a dub Had the highest confidence, man, everyone was a scrub Compared to me and DraE We was the hottest in the city Laced our sneakers up, and went to war For college recognition, facts DraE was my shooter I'm pass first let my n*ggas eat I use the same mentality bought it to the streets Do anything to see my n*ggas get ahead N*gga, life's a gamble, bet in black and make sure that you tread Softly Hoop dreams I had visions on making it to Pro Sh*t was therapeutic I had to use it to calm my soul Sh*t was my drug and I abused it It kept control Got me on a high every time I used it It took my soul Hoop dreams I had visions on making it to Pro Now I doing music, I really do this, should hear my flow Went from breaking they ankles rockin 'em to the floor Now, I'm rocking mic, b*tches throwing panties at every show [Pre-Chorus] I use to hoop dream Dream I would be in the league Dream of them chanting my name Andre for MVP That went away after while I fell in love with the cheese I fell in love with the music Music is all that I need Uh [Chorus] Hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams I was just a young n*gga with some hoop dreams Ohh ooh ooooh oh
