Perry Lane

[Verse 1]
Uh, just went to the urgent care
Scared I had a heart attack, my cardiac was Jordan air
Just got out the urgent care
They said I’m perfect, it’s anxiety that’s killing me
I stop and pray
I just pulled up to Chick-Fil-A
They got the order wrong, was trippin’ on ‘em
I forgot to show ‘em grace
Is there enough to allocate?
So I drove to Crumbl, caught some cookies, put six in a tray
They said, “I play your music every day”
Then it hit me that this carry weight
So anyways, went right back to Chick-fil-A
Asked for the manager, he came to me, smiled in my facе
I gave the cookies and apologizеd for today
He said, “My brother, listen, it's okay
Congratulations on your baby”
Then it hit me that these people watchin' every single move I make
Like the way we dreamed way back in Perry Lane
Way back in Perry Lane

[Verse 2]
Just got to school at 7:38
Look at the locker, I don't see my name
I look again, maybe just in case
Went to the coach and asked him, “Ayy, what happened"
Full of hate
Full of confliction when I seen his face
There go the man that took my dream away
Couple hours later in the day
I tried to focus on the class, but could not escape
Turned to my left, saw the assistant coach and told him
“Hey, why didn't I make the team?”
He then went on to explain:
“You had support from the head coach
But we ain't choose the same
So shift the blame”
It hit me and I felt the weight
Anyways, I just got a text from ‘Crae
Said I need counseling to dig up why I feel this pain
I keep assuming everyone around me feel a way
I guess I'm scared to get cut, just like eleventh grade
My dad called me the other day
Told me he went back to the gym where I couldn't play
Coach said, “Congratulations, your son has truly made it”
Then it hit me that they watchin' every shot I take
Just like the way we dreamed way back in Perry Lane

[Outro]
Way back in Perry Lane
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Way back in Perry Lane, yeah
Way back in Perry Lane
