time - cardboard gods lyrics

[verse 1: time]
i bought my first pack when i was only 8
i went to the store and put a 5 on fate
my heart started to race, i pulled out a barkley
then i high fived the clerk, jordan dunking on dan majerle
forget cloud 9 i was on the upper deck
i was unstoppable, like olajuwon’s stutter step
magic johnson larry bird, i pulled them from a fleer pack
then i got another jordan, i couldn’t hold the tears back
now i’m addicted, the cellophane is ripping
out my mind like rodman praying for a pippen
i used to sell all my doubles and my extras on the corner
listening to tapes, by styx, pac, and foreigner
the only book i ever used to read was the beckett
all my cards were mint condition, i had to protect them
cause every cards valuable, at least most are
unless you get an ad or a sam bowie card
on christmas i thought i went to heaven d-mn
cause my mom and dad gave me a michael jordan hologram

[hook: giuseppe}
as i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep
and if i die before i wake
i pray the lord my jordan’s safe

[verse 2: time]
back in 95 my mom bought me a box
it was the whole 92 season from topps
but not any old tops this was topps with 2 p’s
i was p funk on nba jam with bootsy
boomshakalaka, i was dunking from half court
these gods made of cardboard were hard to ignore
i got laphonso’s autograph by a joslin’s clothes rack
then i went home and played ball till my sprite went flat
dad drank dr. pepper, mom made cookies
i was in my room praying for a jordan rookie
basketball cards in my spokes, yes i was troublesome
under my desk at school, i’d hide my topps bubblegum
baseball saved us, basketball made us
back in the day, i was nothing without my fade cut
i first found god in a pack, my memories are my wealth
now i see him everywhere, even in myself

[hook: giuseppe}
as i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep
and if i die before i wake
i pray the lord my jordan’s safe
