Hoop
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Styling on them niggas that's the routine that's the routine
Put the work in motion we in full swing now we in full swing
Buss a move buss a move king
We made it off a low budget tight as shoestring
Dope boy I could plug the fiends some new weeds
Dope boy I could plug the fiends some new weeds
We used to wanna ball and I ain't talking
Hoop dreams ain't talking hoop dreams
Ain't talking hoop dreams

Ayy yo I marathon this booth I been saying kakarot
Who the best tag them all
I zip them up and bag them dawg
Half of y'all is Captain Hog I ain't even mad at all
You different when the camera's off
I been nice since Eve bit the apple off like Macintosh
I ain't with the back and forth
Bitch you wish you had the balls you too scared to tag along
We ride hard saddle off
War cries and battle calls
Hard raw that's the bar
White lines Asher Roth
Your favourite rapper soft he ain't even have the sauce
I grew up on Cappadonna and he was bumping Macklemore
Your swagger off hate to brag and all but I got mad rapport in the streets
Don't talk about beef I run the abattoir
Bar for bar you not in my league just peep the catalogue
Let's have a heart to heart you sweet go head and act the part
You couldn't trap with a nigga
I go Thanos and phase you with the snap of a finger nigga

Styling on them niggas that's the routine that's the routine
Put the work in motion we in full swing
We play the block like it's chess buss a move king buss a move king
We made off a low budget tight as shoestring
Dope boy I could plug the fiends some new weeds
Dope boy I could plug the fiends some new weeds
We used to wanna ball and I ain't talking




hoop dreams ain't talking hoop dreams
Ain't talking hoop dreams
