In the dusty streets
A bouncing dream was born
A round ball
A court
Where legends were sworn
Dribbling through the pain
Chasing the stars above
Bouncing off adversity
A symbol of true love
Stepping on the hardwood
The rhythm starts to sway
The crowd roars in the night
As the game comes alive
From Harlem to LA
His name echoed in the streets
He soared through the air
Defying the laws of gravity
From the concrete jungle to the bright stadium lights
His heart thumped to the rhythm
His soul took flight
Through sweat and tears
He left it all on the floor
Chasing the glory
The dream he couldn't ignore
