Capo 3

Verse 1

Em C I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
I stepped outside
G B And I was like, Momma , this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
Em CI hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
G B I touched the net, Mom I touched the net.. this is the best day of my life
EmAir Max's were next,
That air bubble, that mesh
CThe box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread.
AmAt school, I was so cool
I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
GMy friends couldn't afford 'em
BFour stripes on their Adidas
EmOn the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pro's
CYo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
AmNike Air Flight , book bag was so dope
BAnd then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his Fours, whoa
EmSee he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted his Starter coat though
CDidn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
EmYou get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro
Those were not tight
BI was trying to fly without leaving the ground,
Emcuz I wanted to be like Mike, right
CWanted to be him
G I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
BI wanted what he had, America, it begins
Chorus:
EmI want to fly
CCan you take me far away
AmGive me a star to reach for
G BTell me what it takes
(Chords repeat) And I'll go so high I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground Stitch my wings And pull the strings I bought these dreams That all fall down
EmWe want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it
CSo expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
GGot to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new shoe
BA hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
EmLook at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
CI'm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement
AmMy movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
G BThey told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
EmLook at what that swoosh did
CSee it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box
EmStrangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
BThat's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
EmWe are what we wear, we wear what we are
CBut see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Nike tricked us all
GWill I stand for change, or stay in my box
BThese Nikes help me define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off
(Instrumental bit) Em C G B Em C Am G B Em C G B Em C Am G B (Chorus Chords same as first chorus) I want to fly Can you take me far away Give me a star to reach for Tell me what it takes And I'll go so high I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground So stitch my wings And pull the strings I bought these dreams That all fall down Em C Am G B
EmThey started out, with what I wear to school
CThat first day, like these are what make you cool
GAnd this pair, this would be my parachute
BSo much more than just a pair of shoes
EmNah, this is what I am
What I wore, this is the source of my youth
CThis dream that they sold to you
AmFor a hundred dollars and some change
Consumption is in the veins
G BAnd now I see it's just another pair of shoes
