[Verse]

I used to go to school wearin' bummy clothes

Kids would point and yell, "What are those? What are those?"

Nike Air Struggles, the 2.0's

Wow, shoes sittin' on sunken soles

You even worked the graveyard shift for those

Four in the morning, before dawn, I heard you coming home

Mom, I made you buy me Jordans when you could not afford 'em, please forgive me

Self esteem was on Muggsy Bogues

Now look at this, Manute Bol, Mutombo growth for us both

I swear, it's almost spiritual

To you, meant more than a pair of shoes

To me, it meant more than you ever knew

Nobody knows me (Nobody knows)

Like pages by my nightstand (My nightstand)

Nobody knows me like shawty when my night ends
