Amazing
Hi-5 Lyrics

I am not trying to be in the store all day
I don't want to spend too much time in the store

Y'all can play the game one time
You can play the game once

Let me go get change for a dollar real quick
I need to get some change for my dollar quickly

Hey my man, what's up, you got change for a dollar?
Excuse me, do you have change for a dollar?

What's up, man? You don't remember me do you? (Ryan!)
Hey man, do you remember me? (My name is Ryan!)

I remember you, I remember you, definitely
Yes, I remember you for sure

I remember you took my basketball and wouldn't give it back 'cause
You took my basketball and didn't want to return it because

I dribbled it inside the store but I was just messing with you
I bounced it inside the store to tease you

Plus that was my lucky ball
That was my ball that I considered lucky

My Dad got it signed by Isaiah Thomas so I kept it with me
My dad had Isaiah Thomas sign it, so I kept it with me as a memento

Everywhere I went I used to bounce that ball
I was always bouncing that ball no matter where I went

I'm little Ryan from 16, 6-5-0 Bayers
My name is Ryan and I come from 16, 6-5-0 Bayers

Remember me? I used to buy all the mystery mix Now And Laters
Do you remember me? I used to buy all the mystery mix Now And Laters

I used to wait for God to come down and answer all my prayers
I used to wait for God to answer all my prayers

Never asked for much when I sat down and say my prayers
I didn't ask for much when I prayed

All I ever, ever wanted was to be amazing (Ryan!)
All I ever wanted was to be amazing

Same little boy used to walk to the corner store
I was the same little boy who walked to the corner store

Who used to get the Funyun chips
I used to buy Funyun chips

Who ended up, dumb, young, and rich
Who ended up being rich at a young age

I had young parents but they both were strict
My parents were young but also strict

I had a supersticious Grandad, wait, scratch that, crazy Grandad
I had a superstitious, or maybe crazy grandad

I seen him turn his hat around three times
I saw him turn his hat around three times

Drive his car around the corner three times in reverse
He drove his car around the corner three times but in reverse

Just 'cause he crossed paths with a black cat
Just because he saw a black cat

Man, you remember Hank? He used to be a Jimmy at the market
Hey man, do you remember Hank? He worked as a Jimmy at the market

My mom used to do his laundry
My mom used to do his laundry

He used to have me and my brothers dyin' laughing at him
He used to make my brothers and me laugh

Talkin about: you know you can't leave them clothes in the
He used to say things like

Washing machine too long when they get done washed
Don't leave your clothes in the washing machine for too long after they are washed

And still put 'em in the dryer
And still put them in the dryer

Doing that makes the clothes stink
That will make the clothes smell bad

Damn, being back here bring back so many memories
Being back here brings back so many memories

You sure you don't remember me? You remember the ball
Are you really sure you don't remember me? How about the ball?

Nigga, everybody know little Ryan from 17, 1-5-0 North Long
Everybody knows little Ryan from 17, 1-5-0 North Long

I used to come and cop pork rinds
I used to buy pork rinds there

I used to watch drug dealers come through in cars
I used to watch drug dealers come through in cars

Like, if I get one of those, its showtime
Thinking that if I ever got one of those cars, it would be showtime

Is that Ryan? Is it always good to see him in the neighborhood
Is that Ryan? It's always good to see him in the neighborhood

Hey baby! How your momma? Look at that car, he done done it
Hey there! How's your mom? Look at that car, he finally did it

I told y'all he was gonna do somethin'
I told you all that he was going to achieve something

Wow, this is overwheling
Wow, this is overwhelming

It feels like it was just yesteday I was watching Good Times
It feels like I was watching Good Times just yesterday

Wishing I could get ahold of Thelma
Wishing I could talk to Thelma from Good Times

Fighting with my brother over channels
Fighting with my brother over what channel to watch

I like watching movies
I like watching movies

He likes stupid shit like Robin Williams going Nanu Nanu
He likes stupid things like Robin Williams saying Nanu Nanu

Whatever that stupid ass show called
Whatever that stupid show was called

I ain't around here being no attention whore
I'm not here seeking attention

I need niggas to look at these whips for every time we got those extension cords
I need people to see these cars because of the effort we put into them

God, I miss my big brother so much
God, I miss my big brother so much

He went to prison so much that I don't think I'd recognize him these days much
He went to prison so much that I don't think I would recognize him today

But I'mma always know what to get him from the Ice Cream truck
But I'll always know what to get him from the Ice Cream truck

He used to get the Push-up Pops
He used to get the Push-up Pops

I used to get the Snow Cone
I used to get the Snow Cone

I used to wanna be just like Turbo
I used to want to be just like Turbo (a character from the movie 'Breakin')

He used to want to be Ozone
He used to want to be Ozone (another character from 'Breakin')

I got all the kids waving at me
All the kids are waving at me

All the elderly off they high horse
All the elderly are off their high horse

They wouldn't even let a nigga play twenty-one in the driveway
They wouldn't let us play basketball in the driveway

Nowdays the ball is in the my court (Ryan!)
But now the ball is in my court

Everybody going 'ain't that little Ryan from over there on Morrow
Everyone is saying 'isn't that Ryan from over there on Morrow?'

I ain't seen him since he was a baby'
I haven't seen him since he was a baby

Well I'm back in town to let the people know that you
Well, I'm back in town to tell everyone that

Don't need no lucky ball, you already amazing
You don't need a lucky ball, you're already amazing

And I'm still your neighbor
And I'm still your neighbor

And God bless the child no matter how long it seems
God blesses the child, no matter how long it takes

Somehow he'll find his way home
He will find his way home somehow

It's so important baby
It's so important

Between the memories and family, I don't know which one is more amazing
I don't know which is more amazing: the memories or the family

Never asked for much when I sat down and say my prayers
I didn't ask for much when I prayed

All I ever, ever wanted was to be amazing
All I ever wanted was to be amazing
