| [Intro] | |
| Welcome to the NBA, you're almost there | |
| We getting close, we got scouts looking at us | |
| This is worldwide, this is beautiful | |
| We in the best hotels, eating the best food | |
| The biggest houses, the nicest cars | |
| Beautiful women, Hoop Life! | |
| [Verse] | |
| My material mind state, trynna stay on the court | |
| I came from the court, no judges | |
| This the hoop court, All-Star Game, the only judge | |
| That throw numbers at me | |
| Looking at the city, Oakland heals like Gotham | |
| Oakland heals like Gotham, cause ******s watching | |
| Never put past no one, copped like the old Ones | |
| ******s ready for war, like shogun | |
| 'Bout to play on TV, cable access | |
| Newspaper, local access, who could match this? | |
| ******, I would do a backflip | |
| I'm trynna get out this mattress | |
| Only time I feel good, is when a ****** at practice | |
| Trynna make shots with my left hand | |
| Gotta stop looking like Strahan, money ain't a thing | |
| ****** Instagram, I'm just trynna get instant grams | |
| Man, my rap's old | |
| I made it so instant, damn | |
| Pulling ******s off for a instance | |
| I got this ******, man, ******t, man, it's incense | |
| You feel me? I smoke it, you love what you can't see | |
| This game up to speed | |
| Lord, help me, cause I'm seeing coke | |
| And I don't know what to do, I'm just seeing boats | |
| Zips in the locker room, the coach know I'm selling | |
| Every time before the game | |
| He always stay tripping | |
| I ain't got no patience, coach, I'm just trynna make it | |
| This is the reason why | |
| There's patients out here, man, ******s dying | |
| My time coming up man, I'm stationed | |
| My time coming for real, I'm rap | |
| My eyes open up, I'm running | |
| My head's peeking up to them ******s that's coming | |
| Traumatized by the game, putting ******s under graves | |
| For that simple ******t, this is simple, ****** | |
| This hoop life is all I got | |
| This my last shot, this my last rock | |
| I'm passing rocks up the court | |
| Selling **** in the locker room, like it's my last shot | |
| [Outro] | |
| Keep your head focused, young'n | |
| Make sure you're doing well with your body | |
| Don't hurt yourself | |
| Hoop Life, we staying focused | |
| Don't put no drugs in your body | |
| Keep it focused for this Hoop Life when we playing the season | |
| They trynna take you out the game, homie | |
| They don't love you | |
| They just trynna drug you up, feed you fast food, and get on to the next | |
| They don't give a ****** about you | |
| Hoop Life mixtape, let's go |
