Wing$ - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
I was seven years old when I
got my first pair
And I stepped outside
And I was like Momma this
air bubble right here it's
gonna make me fly
I hit back court and when I
jumped I jumped I swear I got
so high
I touched the net Momma I
touched the net this is the
best day of my life
Air Max's was next
That air bubble that mesh
The box the smell the
stuffin' the tread
In school
I was so cool
I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
My friends couldn't afford 'em
Four stripes on their Adidas
On the court I wasn't the best
but my kicks were like the pros
Yo I stick out my tongue so
everyone could see that logo
Nike Air Flight but bad was so
dope
And then my friend Carlos'
brother got murdered for his
Fours whoa
See he just wanted a jump shot
but they wanted to start a cult
though
Didn't wanna get caught from
Genesee Park to Othello
You could clown for those Pro
Wings with the Velcro
Those were not tight
I was trying to fly without
leaving the ground
Cause I wanted to be like Mike
right
Wanted to be him
I wanted to be that guy I
wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool and I
wanted to fit in
I wanted what he had America
it begins
I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down
We want what we can't have
commodity makes us want it
So expensive damn I just got
to flaunt it
Got to show 'em so exclusive
this that new shit
A hundred dollars for a pair of
shoes I would never hoop in
Look at me look at me I'm a
cool kid
I'm an individual yeah but I'm
part of a movement
My movement told me be a
consumer and I consumed it
They told me to just do it I
listened to what that swoosh said
Look at what that swoosh did
See it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid don't crease
'em just leave 'em in that box
Strangled by these laces laces
I can barely talk
That's my air bubble and I'm
lost if it pops
We are what we wear we wear
what we are
But see I look inside the mirror
and think Phil Knight tricked us
all
Will I stand for change or stay
in my box
These Nikes help me define me
but I'm trying to take mine off

I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down

They started out with what I
wear to school
That first day like these are
what make you cool
And this pair this would be my
parachute
So much more than just a pair of
shoes
Nah this is what I am
What I wore this is the source
of my youth
This dream that they sold to you
For a hundred dollars and some
change
Consumption is in the veins
And now I see it's just another
pair of shoes
