Song by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
I was
seven years old,
when I got my first pair
And I stepped outside
And I was like, momma,
this air bubble right here,
it’s gonna make me fly
I hit back-court,
and when I jumped,
I jumped, I swear I got so high
I touched the net,
Mom
I touched the net,
this is the best day of my life
Air Max’s were next,
That air bubble, that mesh
The box, the smell, the stuffin’,
the tread,
in school
I was so cool,
I knew that I couldn’t
crease ’em
My friends couldn’t afford ’em,
Four stripes, some Adidas
On the court
I wasn’t the best,
but my kicks were like the pros
Yo, I stick out my tongue
so everyone could see that logo
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope
And then
my friend Carlos’ brother
got murdered for his fours,
whoa
See
he just wanted
a jump shot, but they wanted
to start a cult though
Didn’t wanna get caught,
from Genesee Park to Othello
You could clown for those Probings,
with the Velcro, those were
not tight
I was trying to
fly without leaving
the ground, ’cause I wanted
to be like Mike, right
Wanted to be him,
I wanted to be that guy,
I wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool,
and I wanted to
fit in,
I wanted
what he had,
America,
it begins
I wanna fly
Can you take me far away
Gimmie 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
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down
We want
what we can’t have,
commodity makes us
want it
So expensive,
damn, I just got to
flaunt it
Got to show ’em,
so exclusive, this that new shit
A hundred dollars for
a pair of shoes
I would never hoop in
Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid
I’m an individual,
yea,
but
I’m part of
a movement
My movement
told me be a consumer
and I consumed it
They told me
to just do it,
I listened to
what that swoosh said
Look at
what that swoosh did.
See it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid,
don’t crease ’em, just leave ’em
in that box
Strangled by
these laces, laces
I can barely talk
That’s my air bubble
and
I’m lost,
if it pops
We are what we wear,
we wear what we are
But see
I look inside the mirror
and think Phil Knight
tricked us all
Will
I stand
for change,
or
stay in my box
These Nikes
help me define me,
but I’m trying to take
mine, off
I wanna fly
Can you take me far away
Gimmie 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
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these
dreams
That all fall down
I started out,
with what I wear to school
That first day, like these are
what make you cool
And this pair,
this would be my
parachute
So much more
than just a pair of shoes
Nah, this is what I am,
what I wore,
this is the source of my youth
This dream that
they sold to you
For a hundred dollars
and some change,
consumption
is in the veins
And
now I see
it’s just another pair
of shoes

황금만능주의시대,
날아 오르면 반듯이
떨어질 수밖에 없는
것들을
갈망하여
소금물을 마시듯
끊임없이 목이 마른 이 시대의
방향성 없는
방향을
절규하고 호소하는
곡으로 사회를 돌아보고
우리 자신을 돌아보게 하는
우리시대의
풍자입니다.
