jordan’s lyrics

[Chorus]
Day falls some nights try break me
It's harder getting rest when you think you're lazy, but
Staying on my feet like J's, yeah
I keep it on my feet like J's, I got
Dreams that's calling me, friends that's stalling me
Wrote these songs for the thoughts that get in the way, yeah
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's

[Verse 1]
I need to keep forgetting time and tell myself to rate my journey
The greatest men to do this only started aged thirty
I've been watching Jesus, Nipsey and Jay
And finding peace in all my strugglеs like it's part of the way
I know I'm bettеr than these rappers
That keep popping and dropping what they call bangers
My only wish is you make it, your wins could never stop ours
It's just the way that we play the sport
Cause even whilst you keep on sleeping I'll be on the court
I'm 23 call me Jordan, see all these drills I'm recording
Not quite the way I was built but look how I'm spending this morning
My pockets calling me hungry, my brains been calling me rich
My parents calling my phone, anxiety causing a twitch
I put a story on my clothes, they see my eyes
It's just a part of my complexion
They think the way I work is just a part of my profession
But she knows me better, Maxx been telling me I need to slow
I've been on my own, focused on this lane I'm on the go
Getting used to cutting ties even after showing the vision
Cause if they fail to see then our cars might come in collision like (Uh)
Like our cars will come in collision
I'm tryna show you the future but ego struggles to listen
He lost a piece of the puzzle, went for a piece of the pie
Me I'm just looking at them like "When do we call this a lie?"
I'm getting used to severing these ties
And put new laces on my Jordan's like it's compromise
I know I'm talking to myself to just prepare me
If the people don't believe me
I'm watching Michael Jordan say his rise was never easy
All the creases that must be on his shoes
Like when the promise of a failure is just the dumbest excuse
I guess I'm saying
[Chorus]
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I got dreams that's calling me, friends that's stalling me
Wrote these songs for the thoughts that get in the way yeah
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's

[Verse 2]
I pray my people stay around me but sometimes it's hard to trust that
And yes I've been inside that energy's been hard to muster
My social battery's been running on fumes
I get it back the time I spend constructing one of my tunes
Imagine faking when you put the pen to paper, all I'm chasing is the feeling
The truth behind this line is like some therapy that's healing
The person hurting that's living inside
He'd never talk without these chords, I know I'm riddled with pride
Or so she tells me, my mum is calling me crazy, bet she don't envy my girl
My girls a little delusional just to live in my world
She says it's something about me, must be the way that I stride
All these miles I've clocked inside these shoes it's showing on my soul
Imagine you was just a kid and you're the poorest of your friends
See your friends they live in mansions, while you been living in ends
And you never tell your friends a single thing bout where you live
Cause you know the stigma follows you, they probably won't believe
That your mum she worked a teacher and your dad he works a med
But the circ*mstances making it harder to keep you fed
Any money left he keeps for his brothers to help them too
So it's rude to ask for J's cause there's no money for your shoes
So you've got to grind and make it cause that's the thing that you saw
Any room you made it into meant that you squeezed through the door
And still you got the same shoes
Cause even now you've got these J's you never use
I hope that Jordan will forgive me
Cause he know the feeling when you've got this hunger
Of chasing what you miss but when you get it then you wonder
What's the price I really paid to show my teachers that it's true
That I'm worth a little higher than the price I got these shoes
[Chorus]
I got dreams that's calling me, friends that's stalling me
Wrote these songs for the thoughts that get in the way
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I walk by faith and not by sight
My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
