still searching

I used to go to school wearin' bummy clothes
Kids would point and yell, 'What are those? What are those?'
Nike Air Struggles, the 2.0's
Wow, shoes sittin' on sunken soles
You even worked the graveyard shift of those
Four in the morning, before dawn, I heard you coming home
Mom, I made you buy me Jordans when you could not afford 'em, please forgive me
Self esteem was on Muggsy Bogues
Now look at this, Manute Bol, Mutombo growth for us both
I swear, it's almost spiritual
To you, meant more than a pair of shoes
To me, it meant more than you ever knew
Nobody knows me (Nobody knows)
Like pages by my nightstand (My nightstand)
Nobody knows me like shawty when my night ends
