about

Jim Carroll had "Basketball Diaries"
lee nyce created "Court Journals"

secret-lee, they're both about DRUGS.

what some hear as 'basketball lines'
others here hear as 'rules of the street'.

lyrics

coke lead to the nosebleed
V.I.P. - just mean you want a floor seat.
when you there / see what the core need.
but'chu never make the league wit' the torn knee.
poor lee... / pour'n heart more than he pour lean
those schemes / those frees // more fees
paid dues done got dudes paid...
...and talent don't die it age.
i became great wit' the wordplay...
wit' the line...
Mary J hangin' out loose for a sorbete.
ok... / say i catch a court case...
i suit-up for a court date / when we playin' E-A.
we ain't... / tryin' to see the replay...
two strike down pitchin' off a mound lookin' for a new day.
you say... / i'm better off knockin' on a new claim...
but who can't...
change the weather, weatherin' the new wave... (shiiii..)

"i was such a good lil' boy, right?
...with such potential - wasn't that it...?"
-
BLACK TOP or THE BOX!
-
"Jim, don't blow on these dreams..."
-
I'M JUST SHOOTIN' MY SHOT!
-
"it was a dream - not a nightmare..."
-
BLACK TOP or THE BOX!
-
"it used to be about gettin' high
and playin' basketball. but now...
it's just about gettin' high with you."

I'M JUST SHOOTIN' MY...

one V one in a circle...
no cypher hit'chu with somethin' that'll hurt'chu.
ain't nothin' personal wit' the lingo...
the ink-sewn into the paper make it harder on Kinko
they know... / ain't no copy cat here bro...
the ear lobe - never pick-up what'cha hear so
here go / the hear say, you say is here tho'...
ain't no pass - this the shot here bro.
Kirkland at The Rucker...
no spark wit' a heart put lee into what's structured.
catch this - outside in the street...
the window seat is the bleachers for all the others.
i speak in tongues / you tryin' sneaks in a room...
....shiiiit, that's laced in too.
this ain't suits, V.I.P.'d wit' the window cube...
it's the court seat, more elite, playoff que (wooooo!)
