Nikes Fresh Out The Box
Mario Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nothin' like
A pair of fresh, all white
Air force ones
And I said to myself, I gotta have

Gotta have those white Nike's fresh out the box

Everybody want to know her name

It's like she walked right out a dream
A fantasy unreal, did god send me an angel
She's like no one I've ever seen
No one I've ever met, someone I'll never forget
Lookin' at her is good for my health she got me singin' to myself

I see her, I want her, gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box
I'm feenin', day-dreamin', gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box
I won't scuff her up I'll lace her up right
I'll treat her real good like a pair of fresh white high top or low tops
Gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box

Hey hey hey hey
(hey hey hey hy)
Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

I wouldn't want to waste time
I'm tryna hook up with a dime,
Because I'm checkin' out a dolla' that's makin' me want to holla'
She's like no one I've ever seen,
No one I've ever met,someone I'll never forget
Lookin' at her is good for my health, she's got me singin' to myself

I see her, I want her, gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box
I'm feenin', day-dreamin', gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box

I'll treat her real good like a pair of fresh white high top or low tops
Gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box

So the next time you see a girl that reminds you of a pair of J's
And you want to get her attention this is what you gotta say

Gotta have her like Nike's fresh out the box
