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
