I knew this chick, when I was eight years old
And what I liked best she had real fly soles
She was real stylish, when I was just a young G
Never knew through my
stressed life she'd be dressin me
Courtin regular, not a pure girl she was secular
Not about the hipsters,
no heads was collectin her
But I fell right into her, she fit me in the arch
A few new jack ballas, rocked her in the park
But she came back for me, and I went back for her
Pull out some white for her, turn on the shine for her
And just shoot out, shoot out and practice with her
Sittin on the bench, wishin that I could work her
Eventually if I could make the leap, then she would come with me
Because she helped me make it, physically and mentally
And she was live then, I'd get high when she'd turn around
Smooth and tight though, when she was underground
Original, new grain uppers and fresh leather
Boy I tell ya, I wish I kept her
