Lyrics:
Kanye West - I Wonder
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
[chorus]
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
[chorus]
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
[chorus]
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

just to touch on my previous post... i think ppl misinterpreted it.. ppl think i was talking bout some particular person? i was actually talking about myself... it was a reflection... well that ruined the whole aura of the post, but... yeh... so ppl understand it better, i had to state it..
anyways...
after playing about 10hrs of ball the past 3 days, i sat and watched ppl play for half an hour to an hour... one person caught my attention... not cause he was good, but cause he sucked ass... he had the asian hair parted in the middle, wore a blue baggy nautica shirt, extremely baggy jordan shorts, and last year's iverson shoes.. he tried to dress like a baller, but he.... had no skill let's say... he tried to practice dribbling to show off and such... but his shot sucked and he had no defense... more often than not, he was slacking off on the court... he was too worried bout his hair than playing.. this is one thing that annoys me so much.. every asian there who had the 'asian' hair always worried bout their hair more than playing... why even play? just sit in front of a mirror and comb it 24/7 pls.. dont waste space on the court...
anyways, what caught my attention bout the guy is that he reminded me of me 2, 3 years ago when i had the long asian hair and all i cared bout on the court was my hair... all i wanted to do was dribble and score.. i think i've matured from then.. hopefully.. i never had the baggy shorts down 3/4 of my leg, but i tried to dress like a baller... quite unsuccessfully too, haha..
hmmm.. i guess the point is that as Christians, we can dress like one (with our wwjd bracelets and all) and talk like one (quoting bible verses), but if we can't back ourselves up on the court as one (living as one), then we're not actually doing what we're supposed to do... our talk and appearance will deceive others... lets back our talk up... lets not worry bout the superficial things (such as hair, haha)... lets keep focus on what we need to do... which is to play basketball when we're on the courts!! (or living a Christian life, whichever one you choose, haha)
