[00:00.00]Wing $（By Cali ）-Mr.Cali
[00:01.80]I was seven years old,when I got my first pair
[00:05.830]And I stepped outside
[00:07.890]And I was like,Momma,this air bubble right here,it's gonna make me fly
[00:14.250]I hit that court,and when I jumped,I jumped,I swear I got so high
[00:20.860]I touched the net,Mom I touched the net,this is the best day of my life
[00:27.110]Air Maxes were next
[00:29.170]That air bubble,that mesh
[00:30.970]The box,the smell,the stuffin,the tread,in school
[00:34.710]I was so cool
[00:35.960]I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
[00:37.590]My friends couldn't afford 'em
[00:39.90]Four stripes on their Adidas
[00:40.640]On the court I wasn't the best,but my kicks were like the pros
[00:44.20]Yo,I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
[00:47.520]Nike Air Flight,but bad was so dope
[00:50.440]And then my friend Carlos'brother got murdered for his fours,whoa
[00:56.370]See he just wanted a jump shot,but they wanted a Starter coat though
[01:00.430]Didn't wanna get caught,from Genesee Park to Othello
[01:03.610]You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings,with the velcro
[01:06.290]Those were not tight
[01:07.160]I was trying to fly without leaving the ground,cause I wanted to be like Mike,right
[01:12.600]Wanted to be him
[01:13.840]I wanted to be that guy,I wanted to touch the rim
[01:17.210]I wanted to be cool,and I wanted to fit in
[01:20.270]I wanted what he had,America,it begins
[01:24.10]I want to fly
[01:25.700]Can you take me far away
[01:30.690]Give me a star to reach for
[01:33.120]Tell me what it takes
[01:35.250]And I'll go so high
[01:37.620]I'll go so high
[01:39.240]My feet won't touch the ground
[01:41.860]Stitch my wings
[01:43.490]And pull the strings
[01:45.100]I bought these dreams
[01:47.350]That all fall down
[01:49.850]We want what we can't have,commodity makes us want it
[01:53.340]So expensive,damn,I just got to flaunt it
[01:56.220]Got to show 'em,so exclusive,this that new shit
[01:59.710]A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
[02:03.200]Look at me,look at me,I'm a cool kid
[02:06.260]I'm an individual,yea,but I'm part of a movement
[02:09.380]My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
[02:12.370]They told me to just do it,I listened to what that swoosh said
[02:15.300]Look at what that swoosh did
[02:17.620]See it consumed my thoughts
[02:19.550]Are you stupid,don't crease 'em,just leave 'em in that box
[02:22.430]Strangled by these laces,laces I can barely talk
[02:25.410]That's my air bubble and I'm lost,if it pops
[02:29.30]We are what we wear,we wear what we are
[02:31.470]But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
[02:35.210]Will I stand for change,or stay in my box
[02:38.20]These Nikes help me define me,and I'm trying to take mine,off
[02:45.760]Yeah,Cali is my name,and my pride
[02:52.430]And then i looked down,i saw the skies
[02:57.170]Smiling at me,pulling my strings and stitching my wings
[03:04.350]It makes me fly,so freaking high
[03:10.400]So i believe in everything in myself
[03:13.900]Cuz this is my wings
[03:18.290]And i gotta keep it going
[03:34.630]I want to fly
[03:36.760]Can you take me far away
[03:41.560]Give me a star to reach for
[03:43.870]Tell me what it takes
[03:46.120]And I'll go so high
[03:48.420]I'll go so high
[03:50.50]My feet won't touch the ground
[03:52.600]Stitch my wings
[03:54.230]And pull the strings
[03:55.850]I bought these dreams
[03:58.220]That all fall down
[04:13.440]They started out,with what I wear to school
[04:16.130]That first day,like these are what make you cool
[04:19.560]And this pair,this would be my parachute
[04:21.870]So much more than just a pair of shoes
[04:24.870]Nah,this is what I am
[04:26.800]What I wore,this is the source of my youth
[04:29.170]This dream that they sold to you
[04:32.110]For a hundred dollars and some change
[04:33.910]Consumption is in the veins
[04:35.220]And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
