[Rapsody]
Yeah, Jones
Jones
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P
Just another day, around my way, you see (ha)
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P
Just another day, around my way, you see (ha)
Uh huh
 

Crusing 40 East, cold as Cocheese
At the end of Cooley High, I'm so hoodie fleeced
Obtuse seat, bumping Black Dante
Little 3 Andre, 96 28, yeah
Young OJ (ha), I play down street
Like childhood meets
A 100-yard, dash bare feets (ha)
Yo, cause it's been a long week
Like Mississippi words and leaks that, run off in the sea
I just wanna clear my mind, yo, ride out in peace
Put my thoughts together, and, think of my fella
I ain't touched in a while, like angels named Della
So I miss him and smile, though I can't have him right now
So I'm passing that time, yo, my therapy be working
All of the grind, another day through life, like
The same green wave, is gold glow shows over
U-S-A, rocking, usual polying, like Ria Novay
Way back in the day, cool
I wouldn't trade it (yeah) for no mon-ay
All the love for the culture, yo, it's so sun-nay
Chasing dreams, like Broncos, in sunny L.A.
And I'm the driver, OJ, so who you chasing is me
Type of Total, cause no one Touch-ing Me, see (ha)
 

From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P
Just another day, around my way, you see (ha)
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P (yo)
Just another day, around my way, you see (ha)
 

[King Mez]
Honestly, this industry, I been ready to bomb it
But I gotta tuck the hem in his garment, before I arm it
So I won't be caught up in the money, or being charming
But that's something that come naturally, send your people after me
Yeah I know it might be alarming, when I performing
But nobody I'm harming, I'm just harvesting, farming done
Equivalent to none, like, one minus one
Or the Catholic women, who skin, don't see sun (uh)
King Mezatron, always been a Che Guevara
Flavor terror, crack flow, like a Reagan era
But not distributed homie, cause what I make is rarer
Royal purple, and some gold, I'm a Laker wearer
A young highness, caught in all of his flyness
Me and Diddy riding round thinking bout Timeless
Breaking G-shocks, with faces covered in diamonds
Chronologically relevant, dinosaurs to the Mayans
 

[Rapsody]
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P
Just another day, around my way, you see (ha)
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P (yeah, Diddy let's get it)
Just another day, around my way, you see (uh)
 

[Skyzoo]
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, I was penny exactly
So when my knees caved, I relayed to the back beat
When the streets waved, I replayed what grabbed me
And the replay, was a relay on a track meet
With "E Pluribis Unum" tatted everywhere you moving
And legal tender ribbons, conceiving better beginnings
And breathing's bitter as winter
You see the end as you enter
We can enter it different, and be the end of the enders
Get it (uh) get how you comfortable
When comfortability is everything that you running to
Ya shoes through, like a marathon, shoulda lose you
And being lost cause, expensive tastes to use you
We be all in all, so if we be called to wall
Shoulders all touching, and we the tallest of tall
We be all in all, so if we be called to wall
Motherfuckers will see the flag before they fall, like
 

[Rapsody]
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P (yeah)
Just another day, around my way, you see (you see)
From hoop dreams to rap dreams, R-A-P (R-A-P)
Just another day, around my way, you see (yeah)
From hoop dreams to rap dreams (rap dreams, rap dreams, rap dreams)
 

From hoop dreams to rap dreams (rap dreams, rap dreams)
(Motherfuckers will see the flag before they fall, like ahh
