Converse
All-Stars
Hightops
Tha ones with tha white circle around a blue star on the inside
You know the ones
They remind you of your younger days
Shootin' hoop till momma called
What you know 'bout that ghetto ball
Wilin' out on tha' steps
The junkies passin'
Askin' for ya' change to buy a dime
Tha' homeboys on the corner
With' tha' paperbag 40s
Watchin' crooked cops arrest ya' friends
Blazin' up
And not lettin' momma or ya' pops see
Drive-by pimps
Spicy red-hot caddys
Wit' that conked out hair
Stick ball in tha' street
Fire hydrant drenching passers-bys
Ole' ass lil' Johnny
Fast moon walk tah' earn fi' dollas
Gotta help the wino
Wild Irish Rose
And all this time
Converse
All-Stars
Hightops
Tha ones with the white circle around a blue star on the inside
You know the ones
They remind you of your younger days
