[Intro]
Yeah…
Thirty-three…
Two lives…
Ayy…
[Hook]
I’m livin’ two lives, can’t nobody judge me,
Thirty-three jersey, whole crowd wanna love me.
Crossin’ up defenders, got the gym gettin’ ugly,
Then I’m back home tryna make sure my family’s comfy.
Damn… how the fuck I split time like this?
One dream in my heart, one world on my wrist.
If I don’t make it, everybody take a hit…
So I’m prayin’ every night while I empty this clip.
[Verse 1]
Lace ‘em up, whistle blow, yeah it’s game time,
Thirty-three on my chest, now it’s my time.
Euro step, fadeaway, buckets on replay,
Talkin’ all that shit? Put your ass on a mixtape.
Crowd screamin’, “MVP!”
Every move feel like destiny.
Fast break, windmill, hangin’ on the rim,
God gave me this gift so I’m all in.
Laughin’ with my brothers after every damn win,
Nobody see the pressure underneath my skin.
‘Cause when the lights fade and the cameras all gone,
I’m answerin’ calls while I’m drivin’ back home.
Mama need help…
Brother need cash…
Friends got problems…
Bills stack fast.
Everybody reachin’ for the kid with the hoop dream,
But nobody ask if I’m okay behind the scenes.
[Pre-Hook]
Sometimes I smile just to cover all the scars,
Sometimes I cry lookin’ up at the stars.
Can’t let ‘em down, that’s the code that I live,
Even when I’m empty, I’m still tryna give.
[Hook]
I’m livin’ two lives, can’t nobody judge me,
Thirty-three jersey, whole crowd wanna love me.
Crossin’ up defenders, got the gym gettin’ ugly,
Then I’m back home tryna make sure my family’s comfy.
Damn… how the fuck I split time like this?
One dream in my heart, one world on my wrist.
If I don’t make it, everybody take a hit…
So I’m prayin’ every night while I empty this clip.
[Verse 2]
Dream chasin’ every sunrise,
Pain hidden behind my eyes.
Got teammates countin’ on assists,
Family countin’ on every damn cent I get.
Sometimes I wanna quit…
Fuck this pressure.
But I remember pain made me better.
Every scar turned into another lesson,
Every L became another damn weapon.
If I sign that deal, we all gon’ eat.
No more stress livin’ paycheck to week.
Grandma smilin’, mama finally rest,
Little cousins wearin’ Thirty-three on they chest.
I ain’t selfish, I just want us all straight,
Tryna turn hard work into a better fate.
Middle fingers up to everybody that doubted,
Now they scream my name ’cause I finally found it.
[Bridge]
One life got arenas…
One life got tears…
One life hears cheers…
One life fights fears.
But they’re both me…
Every single day…
Ball till I’m gone…
Never fade away.
[Final Hook]
I’m livin’ two lives, still I never fold,
Heart made of fire while my blood run cold.
Thirty-three forever, watch the story unfold,
Turned pain into platinum, turned dreams into gold.
Yeah, I’m ballin’ for the family,
Ballin’ for the city,
Ballin’ for the kid that they said wasn’t ready.
Now I’m standin’ at the top while they all lookin’ up…
Two lives, one soul…
And I ain’t givin’ up.
