Rubber.

Rubber

Slide left and right

One dunk after another

Goal after goal, throw after throw

I'll kick the ball in the net

Tackle my best friend, a juke I practiced for 8 years

Jump just like in the movies

Success glazed into my iris

I'm alone in this court

And every single court

This concrete almost looks like every dream I ever had

Cracked in the center but when you look outwards

I'm sort of seeing the picture

I see other dreams just like mine in my own surface area

I'll dribble over them just the same, however sorry I am

I just need this dunk

I know it's dark but I'm in the rhythm

I've been fighting my friends my best friends on this court

I shoved them like they weren't my brother

Just like I kicked those people at the tournament

Like they weren't my own species, my brothers

Give them a stare and they'd dive

And I promised that I dunked over these people

Just like they never played this game

And I never got any better than anything

I wish I didn't spend most of my time in office parks

Doing pull-ups at midnight, sprinting for unseen audiences

And just talking about American culture like it already collapsed

My best discussion on benches I just broke in

And when absolutely nothing is going to bother us

And talking about sports like I never even jumped before

So if you'd think another round would be nice

Another competitive round and we can have a draw

Just like always

Empty court in the middle of nowhere

You dribbling and I'm running after you

Score

And then after the match is over we never play again

Just me on the court as always

End the writers block.
