Femdot - NCAA Rules Lyrics

Grew up on a block named after my cousin
He was gunned down as a younging
So we bang the block and we blew at opps
Just to show them that we love him
Let them know something
My OG said I'm too smart just to be up in the streets Keep going and they gone name the block after me.
Well I mean, hoop kinda
Can't even imagine I'll take me too far
Ain't start freshman year they said I was too small
My brother had to serve
My other cousin cracked cards
Niggas hate so you know it's poles all in the car.
Get pulled over, officer say somebody gotta take the charge. My brother told me if he sit down,
I gotta focus on ball
He say he down for least 7
When come out he need me to be a star.
A lil later he sentenced and I caught a growth spurt.
God giving a nigga tools to make sure it could work.
Now I ball for real
Either I'm in the gym or in the house
Jumped off the porch but went back when my brother went down
AAU teams, tournaments. newspapers
Got some articles on me
They say I could be one make it happen
So I send clippings to pen for my brother see.
Look he said he'll be home in no time
Just keep grinding and we gone be straight that's what he believed
Senior year my my homie blew out his knee,
To be quite honest, man he was better than me
I watched his scholarships deplete
He went from 10 D1 offers to 3
And even then only one had the scholarship he need
With him down all the eyes on me to carry the team
Got some juco's some D2's who want me
I mean a D1 interested but I needed more bread
They handing out partials, trying to rebuild they program. But I can barely afford tuition for a semester
And my grades decent but not enough to raise check up
I sat down with momma, and we talked bout how I'm the first to go college
And she'll do whatever she gotta make sure I'm proper
And my father would be proud of things I accomplished
I ain't know him that well said I was 4 when his car had got shot up
Season over, city champs everything was great
Even got some more offers
Had to thank my AAU coach for helping me send out my tapes
Sent one to head coach at Houston
He said he liked how I play
They was made the dance last year
And they star guard went to the NBA
I can come in and fill roll what he say
And it's close to May
It's decision day
Momma took a second mortgage on the house
That's to pay for me to go down to U of H
On a partial scholarship I announce in a couple days.
Bet the house on me literally
My coach say as long as I ball out, that the school said they'll be down to pay
My brother said put the pressure on these niggas boy you been great.
And they gone parole me early I'll be home before your birthday
June 18th his parole date
Turn 18 July 5th
I'll be back from summer school I gotta break
Independence Day weekend took a new meaning
I ain't even wanna go out just wanna see him
You know hug my nigga possibly feed him
And tell how he gotta come out to the H
I been out here since 6 days after graduation date
My teammates cool
My dorm room straight
The girls thick as hell too
But I ain't tripping I got a job to do
They gave me access to the gym over night
In there every night tryna get my shot right
Everything looking good
In the rotation, said I'm playing,
And shorty help with my tests so know I'm walking around and my grades look amazing
My momma always call me
She always say that her and my brother watch me every game
Let me know I'm doing smooth
Even reassure me when we lose
But back home things started changing too
Bro tried working but no one gave him a job
So he Uber using my name and still be on block
Mom picked up a third job
Pay the mortgage on time
Team looking good but we started falling off
Missed the tournament
Made it to the conference finals but we lost
Then April came, get a call from my mom
Up in practice playing 2 on 2
Her voice sound unusual
Say I got to come home for my brother funeral
Said they caught him in the car in front of his girl house
Same nigga who he was just telling his girl about
Ran off on, man they caught him
Blew his brains out
I cried right there on the court
So much that my eyes swole
Can't even cry when I came back to Chicago
Couple days though just to take care of my mom though Then I gotta call about a scandal that came up
About some grades on the team
Someone brought up my name.
Damn, they found out this girl doing my tests
Now they tryna just kick me off team
And they say I can't play
The craziest thing is that Igot my full ride the other day
And they won't even let me appeal my case
Now I'm back in Chicago
Never thought I'd hate being home
Really cause it ain't safe being at home
And everyone gone ask questions like
"why don't you hoop no more?"
Dropped out I was only in school for ball
At my mom house outside with the pole in my draws
Cause you know my cousin who cracked cards and his homie from the back of the yards
Caught dude who killed my brother put the gat in his jaw
And blew till his teeth hit the back of the wall
And now his niggas tryna even the score
Knowing I could be next had me paranoid
I could barely sleep anymore
One day I went to the corner store down the streets
Just to grab some crunchy curls to eat for my niece
Some nigga in a Black Charger started to creep up
Tinted up so I couldn't really even see who was
But they rolled down the window as I was walked to my Jeep
One masked up as I can see
Pulled out a riffle I think was AR
Let off a 30 round
I ran around my car
One hit my arm and the other hit me my heart
Took my last breath as I had to look up to God
I can feel my spirit fall in my brother arms
Holes in car
Blood on the ground
From the sky I can see my mother crying to the coroner on the corner
Leaving holes in her heart.
T shirts and vigils for the nights
Candle lights, bears, and flowers by the store
Where a nigga really had lost his life.
My lil niggas added my name to the block
One time I wish my momma wasn't right
Two sons and a husband all gone
She need drugs just to fall sleep now
She find trouble trying to sleep through the night
Damn
