John River - The League lyrics

[Hook] Raise your head Raise your head And go and fix your posture Young Mike Jordan didn't even make his roster If you feel how I feel you got cut from the team I told them I'm make it never let a n***a take it I got a strong spirit, many men have tried to break it f** what they say young n***a just believe [Verse 1] It started when we was young-ins, the running, kicking and jumping Your father hands you a ball, simply to feed consumption of fun We take the ball and we run, and try and score Mom yelling down in the kitchen, stop kicking it at your door But I can't, I love it, my love is getting stronger I'm pa**ing n***as on the field my stride is getting longer Playing year up, regional wanna pick me About the same time, Lee cut me off of Dixie How could you f** me, You dead to me I scored thirty-six, I led the team Politics, don't sell the dream Couple tears I yelled and screamed Said that I was quitting I was done with all the racket Pop said you wanna prove them wrong well all you do is practice So 6 am I hit the gym and [?] I played with men I took a chance, I went to France, I scored my goals I did my dance, about the same time Juve had a tri That's when my Mama told me boy you about to make it to the league [Hook] [Verse 2] It started when I was young Saw Jordan stick out his tongue Dribble right to the key Fade away and he won He paved the way for the [?] We were playing at school Only time a n***a dunk When we played in the pool Like splash, click, flash Now I'm playing in my first game Coach on the sideline Yelling out my first name Five star recruit Hit that shot and it scarred me Came back and said you simply can't guard me He dropped twenty, I dropped twenty Dropped thirty, I dropped thirty He dropped forty said you know my ways Dropped forty-seven like OBA's He gained pounds I went bounce He got lazy I got crazy Handles in the gym and now I'm handling him Heard that you became a smoker While I was making posters Both had the same chance I just made the most of My dream in the gym hours with the team Heard the teams got a treague Hey boy I'm about to make it to the league [Outro] x5 I'm a make it, I'm a try I'm a make it, I'm a fly I'm a make it to the league I'm a make it before I die [x2] I'm a make it to the league I'm a make it before I die Tell my mom hold them tears She ain't even gotta cry I don't care if they sleeping I don't care if they lie I'm a make it to the league Even if I got to fly
