Make a song about a boy getting bullied because he wanted to play basketball and then they said he would never make and he did make it
Lyrics
[intro]
(Yeah, yeah)
Little kid with a dream, ball in his hand
They laughed him out the gym, but he took a stand
[verse]
Back in the day, skinny kid on the block
Dreamin' of the hoop, hear the swish when it drop
Grabbed his ball from the corner store, faded orange glow
Dribblin' on the cracked court, rain or freakin' snow
School team tryouts comin', he lined up with the crew
Big kids towerin' over, smirkin' like "Who the hell are you?"
"Yo shorty, you trippin', ain't got the height or the game
Go home to your comics, this ain't your lane"
They shoved him, tripped him, stole his kicks mid-dribble
Laughin' in his face, "You'll never make it, little nibble"
Coach blew the whistle, they all pointed and jeered
"Pipsqueak can't jump, disappear, you weird"
But he laced up tighter, eyes burnin' with fire
Hit the park every dawn, sweat till he tired
Push-ups in the basement, sprints up the hill
Visualizin' the win, bendin' time to his will
They said, "You'll never make it, never make it, no way"
[chorus]
(never make it, no)
Laughin' in my face, pushin' me away
But I rose up, rose up, ball in my grip
(rose up, yeah)
Swish through the net, now they watch me drip
Never make it? Ha, look at me now
Crown on my head, hear the fans scream loud
Never make it? Boy, I made it, I made it
(yeah, I made it, uh-huh)
They doubted, they shouted, but I elevated
[verse]
Nights in the driveway, shootin' till wrists ache
Neighbors yellin' shut up, but he don't brake
Fadeaways in the mirror, crossovers slick
Buildin' muscle memory, brick by damn brick
Tryouts day two, same crew with the trash talk
"Still here? Go fetch the water, shorty, take a walk"
He steps to the line, heart poundin' like drums
Dribble left, hesitation, pull up—swish, he stunned 'em
Ankles broken on the first fool who guarded tight
Crossover so nasty, left him on the floor that night
Three-pointer rainin', handles like silk thread
Rebound, euro-step, layup—coach nodded his head
Final buzzer, cuts announced, his name rings clear
Number 23, tears mixin' with the cheer
Bullies standin' silent, jaws on the floorboard
He tips his cap, "Told ya, now watch the scoreboard"
[break]
[chorus]
They said, "You'll never make it, never make it, no way"
(never make it, no)
Laughin' in my face, pushin' me away
But I rose up, rose up, ball in my grip
(rose up, yeah)
Swish through the net, now they watch me drip
Never make it? Ha, look at me now
Crown on my head, hear the fans scream loud
Never make it? Boy, I made it, I made it
(yeah, I made it, uh-huh)
They doubted, they shouted, but I elevated
Never make it? (No!) Never make it? (Nah!)
I made it, I made it, yeah I made it (ayy!)
[outro]
(Yeah, made it)
From the bottom to the top, ball don't stop
(swish, swish)
They talked, I walked,
