rap and ball 2.0 - timothy welbeck lyrics

verse 1
i live in the concrete jungle, reared in the suburban wilderness/i observe in bewilderment how absurd our children live in both/they’re all betrothed to the sickening hope/they distribute rock or get a wicked shot to the pros/the plot then unfolds/they don’t want to be a doctor no more/unless they’re dr. dre doctoring beats and rocking the flow/or dr. j rocking ‘fros before he rocks on the court/it’s like the only option they know, it’s gotten so old/yeezy told ‘em, “[t]he system’s broken, the schools is closed, the prisons open”/part of the reason why is because our boys isn’t focused/they want to dribble a ball, be lebron james/or keep on rapping until they get some big sean fame/they can be more than that/and it goes beyond saying, but even our girls want to go the route beyoncé went/if were more supportive of our sons and our daughters/they would be architects, engineers, and lawyers/they would be preachers and teachers the days that they grow up/they would be entrepreneurs, someone’s employer/but we’re not, so they want that celebrity path/but chris rock lives next to a dentist, you do the math/it’s 467 players in the nba/about four times that in the nfl/if we teach our kids other ways in which they can be great/tell ‘em pray and work hard, then they’ll excel

hook
but they want to rap and play ball, ball and play rap/make they’re way out the trap, put their ‘burb on the map (repeat 3x)/the want to rap and play ball, rap and play ball, rap and play ball

verse 2
i know the irony of rhyming me saying you shouldn’t be aspiring/to be a rapper when i’m rapping, but look i am me/i went to school twice, i left with my degrees/and if i never rap again, i know i can teach/ i know i represent, i know i can lead/but when i choose to rap, i put fire on beats/i inspire these seeds not to die in these streets/to put their faith in christ, that’s all they’ll need/but in the interim, i just want to mentor them/and keep them away from the evil that tries to enter them/in the interim, i just want to mentor them/and keep them away from the evil that tries to enters them

hook

interlude
i wanted to be a rhodes scholar like my hero bill bradley. if he did it, i want to try and do it as well. and so, three years later, i was fortunate to earn that scholarship. then, i went to see my teachers and academic advisors at fsu and tell them that i want you guys to help increase my intellectual capital so one day i can be an outstanding pediatric neurosurgeon, like another one of my influences, dr. ben carson. now, i’m a second year medical student hopefully able to do that in the future. and lastly, i went to my strength coaches and my athletic trainers and my football coaches, bobby bowden 6 included, and told them that i want them to equip my body 7 and get me ready for a career as a national football player. and fortunately, i was able to be drafted by the t-tans and play for the steelers as well
