Hakeem

Want it all, we just want it all, from the bottom on
Used to dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
Want it all, we just want it all, I’m where I belong
See my dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
Hakeem Olajuwon
Used to dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
Inner monologue that you’re evesdroppin' on
Now you see my dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
This is Top Ramen on a ventilator stove
Hand-me-downs while your friends are makin' jokes
To sold-out shows and tailored clothes
The classic era shaped me, but I break the mold
Tryin' to make this dough, but the bakery’s closed
Divide the parmesan, all gas, no brakes
The beat’s an autoban that I’m speedin' by I’m on
Follow along, inner monologue you’re evesdroppin' on
Woodstock meets Comic-Con meets the firebomb
Police choppers propped up on the roof they thought that John
Africa was hidin' in, the streets watchin', I was young
Five or six L.A. riots on, drugs and violent songs
Brought up modest, watched my pops and mom
Put in more labor than the Octomom
Got it poppin' like the bottles gone
Pickin' my pockets, pluckin' dollars like a cotton farm
And ain’t no drama in my entourage
What’s the problem, huh?
Only way to get even is to conquer odds
Want it all, we just want it all, from the bottom on
Used to dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
Want it all, we just want it all, I’m where I belong
See my dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon

Inner monologue that you’re evesdroppin' on
Now you see my dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
If it’s a lie you want, I could supply you one
If it’s my time you want, I can’t provide you none
Climbin' from the bottom rung tryin' to reach the roof
Might have gone the scenic route
But look how far we’ve come (awesome, huh?)
That’s why I’m dodgin' y’all low-ceiling-having, always-talking-small,
mind-of-gossip, cotton
Sewin' circle, I block your call
Ain’t cut from the same cloth as y’all
Role reversal without the awkward pause
The rise and fall, yeah I saw it all
On my job opportunity knockin', Karma on the conference call
Heart on my garment wearin' all my scars
So you know what time it is
I flaunt my flaws like an Audemars
Heart on my garment wearin' all my scars
So you know what time it is
I flaunt my flaws like an Audemars
The loudest one the building isn’t the smartest one
Now watch the people resurface as soon as the dollars come
Want it all, we just want it all, from the bottom on
Used to dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
Want it all, we just want it all, I’m where I belong
See my dream on the block: Hakeem Olajuwon
