PROJEK's Notes

Recently updated the production quality a bit.

Every Time I see a court, it take me away/
Go and get my gear on, grab a ball and some jays/
People wanna make fun, ain't got nothing to say/
Cause they gon' stop that, when they see me play/
 
Dunk, jam, Pass, steal, alley-oop/
End up like Jordan, Allen, Stockton too/
Have your name on the guest list, people running to you/
And now you even have your own Nike signature shoe/
 
It doesn’t really matter if you’re short or tall/
As long as you can dribble that ball/
Bounce it back and forth, that's all/
Before long you'll be looking like Chris Paul/
 
See, The aim of the game is to aim for the basket/
Maybe rack up some assists with some passes/
You gotta get out there, stop being so passive/
Work hard and one day u'll be big just imagine/
 
But maybe we play a game up to twenty/
You seeing all of your teammates score plenty/
You already know that you haven't any/
But instead, you come back end the game with so many/
 
Now it's in your sights/
Now you can almost see your name in those bright lights/
But you know that those bright lights don't come without long nights/
But you're determined to learn everything right/
 
Crossing people up, you’ve got ‘em all baffled/
You're in the league now, not the time to unravel/
Work harder than when you was playing on gravel/
This is ain't no vacation, it don't pay to travel/
 
Every Time I see a court, it take me away/
Go and get my gear on, grab a ball and some jays/
People wanna make fun, ain't got nothing to say/
Cause they gon' stop that, when they see me play/
 
So, you decide that you wanna go follow your dream/
Just like a boxer, you tell yourself to get in the ring/
And if others don't like you, you just do your own thing/
Before you know it, 17 years old, on your high school team/
 
other teams scared when you're on the prowl/
Your team is losing, and its never or its now/
And you tell yourself not to throw in the towel/
Your teammates decide that its time for a foul/
 
Now, the other point guard is at the line/
He makes em both, teammate passed a dime/
You tell yourself its my time to shine/
1.8 seconds and you still release the ball in time/
 
Think about it, there was only a minute left/
When the coach decided to take you up off the bench/
You knew the game was crucial, but you just kept playing defense/
And in the end, you hit a game-winner, you did your best/
 
Closer and closer its getting, now its in your sights/
Now you can almost see your name in those bright lights/
But you know that those bright lights don't come without long nights/
But you're determined to learn everything right/
 
Crossing people up, you’ve got ‘em all baffled/
You're in the league now, not the time to unravel/
Work harder than when you was playing on gravel/
This is ain't no vacation, it don't pay to travel/
 
Every Time I see a court, it take me away/
Go and get my gear on, grab a ball and some jays/
People wanna make fun, ain't got nothing to say/
Cause they gon' stop that, when they see me play/
 
Every Time I see a court, it take me away/
Go and get my gear on, grab a ball and some jays/
People wanna make fun, ain't got nothing to say/
Cause they gon' stop that, when they see me play/
