Wing$

[Verse 1: Macklemore]

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 that 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 stuffing, the tread

At school, I was so cool, I knew that I couldn't crease 'em

My friends couldn't afford 'em, four stripes on their Adidas

On the court, I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros, yo

Stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo

Nike Air Flight, book bag was so dope

And then my friend Carlos's brother got murdered for his Fours

Woah

[Verse 2: Macklemore]

See he just wanted a jump shot

But they wanted his Starter coat, though

Didn't wanna get caught from Genesee Park to Othello

You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro, those were not tight
