Royal, my lineage Supper for plenty kids Save all the oil in tupper wear Wrap foil the itty bits Remember the roots just like I remember the city's scent Can't change over pretty pennies, that wouldn't make any sense Kawhi brought a hoop to the porch of grounds where the city sits I stood right behind him as they take flicks for the LA times Fast forward when I'm twenty six I'm giving back similar ways I moved here when I was six Since then I knew I would be global Used to hear whispers when passing corners Guardians all around me, seen sillouhettes with my cornea Corduroy flooded pants with a dream To be something more than another check for the coroner Always knew I'd make a name My mama water broke on the Hollywood walk of fame Can't say it ain't symbolic And no it 'bout no fame I just eat with tax collectors and sinners to change the game Just like physicians are for the ill Musicians are for the pain From baby boys with hoop dreams And hoopties and loose change I never saw more beauty Said how did we go from baby boys with hoop dreams And roofies and cruel streets I never thought I would see Never see more than the cards that were dealt When it all was a dream Hoops taught me how to dream The group taught me 'bout a team The truth taught me that what seems Is usually about the C.R.E.A.M The music taught esteem I pull from Tupac and Albert Green I'm like a church van with Candy paint and cushiony caddy seats Mike taught me invest Trina taught me keep the pallet green Moms taught me prayer Pops taught me 'bout the battle ring Lolita just sat with the Reverend Bernice King Three years ago gave birth to my sweet niece, a family gene Royal, the lineage Trust, never penny pinch Can't stop the plan of God like when Candace snitches on Phineas and Ferb I curve the slurs and just walk through life as an instrument They tried to call me Mini Prince I'm Jordan Lyles, the first He came in a dream said he was proud of me He probably more proud of this verse I talk to legends all the time At this point I'm starting to blend I talk to God even more At this point I'm starting rebirth From baby boys with hoop dreams To having a light I never knew was true The only one giving it a life was you How did we go from baby boys with hoop dreams To having a whole empire They say how do you grow in the fire From baby boys with hoop dreams To having a light I never knew was true The only one giving it a life was you How did we go from baby boys with hoop dreams To having a whole empire They say how do you grow in the fire I believe in all things you do I believe in all things you do I believe in all things you do I believe in all things you do From baby boys with hoop dreams To having a light I never knew was true The only one giving it a life was you How did we go to having a whole empire They say how do you grow in the fire I believe in all things you do
