Frankie Beanie - JUMP SHOT Lyrics

I'm looking at this photograph like I'm Nickelback
I lent you that money and you laughed
Can I have my nickel back?
It's hard being young and
Being broke and
Being left in the house all alone with
Nothing but the thoughts in your head
Nothing but the pain in your chest
Sometimes I can't take all of that
I wish I could just take it all back
I wish I could just take it all back
They say success don't mean shit if you can't share it
So I took my advance and gave it all to my parents
It's not about the paying back it's paying forward
It's what they still do for me
Check the scoreboard
Last night my mom called me so distraught
Reminiscing about me and brother hitting jump shots
Out in the driveway late at night
Dreaming about that one day we could be just like Mike
I guess I miss that shit too
Always playing games like who's the best
Me vs. you
Be out there listening to Jay bumping K.Dot
Now I wonder where the time went
Mom's still working the same job
One day we'll get her out I know it
Can't always show it
But with this music shit I got I just can't blow it
I hope she knows that
I suck at saying it
That's why I'm on this rap shit feels like it's how I'll make it
All of that money
Won't get you too far no
If you're still unhappy
Then why get so far yo
Woah
Yeah
When I was eighteen years old I moved across the ocean
Tryna make something of myself
Do something important
I think Mom took that harder than she let on
Her little boy was growing up he really had moved on to
Bigger and better out there in the world
Would he find what he was looking for
Would he marry that girl
Truth is I was just as terrified as her but had to keep my shit together
Act like I was sure
To this day I think she knew I was frontin'
Always ramblin' bout something
Can't believe she would trust him
To go out there and not f*ck too much up and
You better not come back until enough is enough
That's real trust
When everything fades that's what'll hold up
When everything fades at least you showed up
