yo picture this
u got a kid in a room
his hands sweatin and shakin while he's lacin his shoes
the excitement's buildin up for what's comin up soon
to get there and do what he was born to do
cuz now he's out on the floor
and he's catchin the pass
slashin to the glass, movin so fast, right to the hole,
they don't know how to stop him
and he keeps on droppin
2's and 3's by the second
and the crowd is rockin
so they knock him
but the truth
is that there's someone on the other team
someone who stole her heart
someone who holds her dreams
they kiss for the 1st time just the other evening
her brother's 23 but her lover's number 16
16 on the break
23 on the chase
brother goes in the air with brother up in his face
they come crashing to the dirt
tears about to burst
when the game is over who she gonna run to first, yo
ey yo this game of life is one big struggle
we gotta hustle just to make it everyday
and to find ourselves a way
to fight the fears we facin
and grab those dreams we chasin
cuz there ain't no competition
when we rise to the occasion, c'mon
