Wasatch Front - Dame D.O.L.L.A. (达米恩·利拉德)

Reminiscing on the days I ain't know what was ahead

What I gotta do to make show the family fed

Staring at the ceiling struggling to go to bed

Tryna pass class split the needle with a thread

Far away from home and feeling so alone

A boy amongst men I ain't even wear cologne

Girls call me mcm I'm tryna be Jerome

The jazz up the road I wanna play for jerry Sloan

Got to college me and mama had to setup the dorm

Shortly after got the first tat on my my upper arm

Hit the volley ball game yea that welcome was warm

She crying driving off time to weather the storm

First day I stumbled in teacher hand us the syllabus

I'm dame from east Oakland I don't know if I'm feeling this

The notice the temperament right away

Wondering if I should stay

In my heart I know that this the right move for nicer pay

They ask me dame how ya classes I saw a few distractions

But nothing serious enough to make me late for practice

I'll be there coach I'm jumping on the shuttle

He said if you on time that mean you late you better hustle

Grab my bags got that town swag

IPod slapping listening to black mags

That boy out on his own thinking that he grown

Wet behind the ears tryna show he got some stones

Reminiscing on the days I ain't know what was ahead

What I gotta do to make show the family fed

Staring at the ceiling struggling to go to bed

Tryna pass class split the needle with a thread

Far away from home and feeling so alone

A boy amongst men I ain't even wear cologne

Girls call me mcm I'm tryna be Jerome

The jazz up the road I wanna play for jerry Sloan

I been on campus for some time but I ain't working enough

I claimed I wanna make it Phil was first to call my bluff

I ain't have curfew I'm seeing what that work do

Up through the campus I could tell you every perfume

Truant at every party my cut on Steve Harvey

Tryna mc and be fly call me Marty

Was hardly ever tardy we showed up like an army

A lot of love for hopers a couple sports was salty

I'm sorry eventually I got up on my job

Game winning treys and I started catching lobs

Won a MVP everybody giving props

Broken 5th metatarsal headed to the docs

Can't believe it in my feelings

Head up in my palms

Moms living with my auntie set off an alarm

Stayed at school for summer cuz the city doing harm

Bout to make the most of the given deck of cards

Reminiscing on the days I ain't know what was ahead

What I gotta do to make show the family fed

Staring at the ceiling struggling to go to bed

Tryna pass class split the needle with a thread

Far away from home and feeling so alone

A boy amongst men I ain't even wear cologne

Girls call me mcm I'm tryna be Jerome

The jazz up the road I wanna play for jerry Sloan

Fall 2011 I'm high minded noble

Did the work it's time for me to do what I'm supposed to

Huey told me dominate and let them coaches coach you

Started getting media none of it was social

Elevated my mentality all I see is casualties

How he get to weber state my performance baffling

All the girlies after me I got reporters chattering

Started hearing whispers they thinking about drafting me

I'm to the lab let's work that dribble jab

If I get this down I'm getting 20 at half

They try to double me I hit a shot look at the staff

I was in my bag I'ma get the last laugh

Coach said come on by my office I got a bone to pick

Busted out in tears you know how them moments get

He said this year ya last gotta put you in the draft

Blazers took me number 6 that's a mission passed

Reminiscing on the days I ain't know what was ahead

What I gotta do to make show the family fed

Staring at the ceiling struggling to go to bed

Tryna pass class split the needle with a thread

Far away from home and feeling so alone

A boy amongst men I ain't even wear cologne

Girls call me mcm I'm tryna be Jerome

The jazz up the road I wanna play for jerry Sloan
