lyrics

Hook:
Back before doc was famous
He used to buy his shoes from Payless
Thrift scores
Were all he could afford
Couldnt even get layaway payments
Witta smile Doc was on his way
Ready for school on the very 1st day
Eager to hear
What his friends would say
Long story short
Young Doc still got played
Talk to em uh

1st Verse:
Thinkin I was cool
Come to find out I wasn't
My new friends
Act like they don't trust me
Prolly cause I don't shop at the mall
More like Payless and Kmart dawg
Kids laughing in the hall
It's embarrassing
But it's ok I know one day
Uma takeoff
Like a rocket
But for now
I guess I'll be the laughingstock
Of the crowd
Singing sad songs like

Bridge:
You say that you love me
But I know you don't care about me
Smiling in my face

Whole time you lying
I thought yall were my friends

You can laugh now
Watch me ball later
Might be broke now
But Imma get that papa
Soon enough
We gon so turnt up
Laughin to da bank
Tell the waiter
Bring my drink

Hook:
Back before doc was famous
He used to buy his shoes from Payless
Thrift scores
Were all he could afford
Couldnt even get layaway payments
Witta smile Doc was on his way
Ready for school on the very 1st day
Eager to hear
What his friends would say
Long story short
Young Doc got played
talk to em

2nd Verse:
That day I got my mom to replace
my worn out BKs with some new kicks.
Found a pair of Reeboks with the pump up on the tongue
If you pump 'em too tight make your foot go numb
I was young and dumb but thought if we bought them
I would become a cool kid
I begged for a while a hot new style
No idea why they're in the clearance aisle
couldn't wait knew my shoes were lookin great but the fools at school didn't feel the same way Somehow
they figured out they were a kmart exclusive
Thence forth for me social status was elusive
It felt sort of freeing in a way,
Thinking about clothes a whole new way
to this day I don't play with whats in fashion
I buy my clothes from ebay or thrift store shopping
