Lyrics
These ‘98 Diadoras on the dash still smell like pitch in Jeddah
Stitches frayed, leather cracked, know you said 'just leave 'em, ever'
'Cause a relic's just a relic, 'til it’s all that's left to hold
But tonight this heat in Georgia feels exactly like that cold
Winter evening when you bought 'em, now they're staring at the glass
Of a bar I clean for pocket change that drains out just as fast
You'd be laughing at the irony, this washed-up number ten
But I'm pulling at the laces, habibi, we go again.
[Chorus]
Yeah, this one's for you, I'm lacing up
Know you're watching, think I'm crazy, yup
These old cleats got one more run in 'em now
Underneath the Atlanta clouds.
[Verse 2]
The derby game, back in ‘09, felt like the whole world stopped to see
You were screaming from the nosebleeds, 'Yallah, shoot it, ya 3amee!'
And the leather met the ball, and the net it made that sound
Now the only crowd I hear's the MARTA rattling through the town
This city's not our city, and this pitch is not our pitch
Just some burnt-out patch of grass behind a liquor store, that's it
But the muscle has a memory, the ghost is in the seams
And I'm scheming on a goal to resurrect some broken dreams.
[Bridge]
They say talking to the past means you're broken, means you're lost
But I'm just checking on the price, and I'm still paying the cost
This ain't no prayer, this is a promise.
[Chorus]
Yeah, this one's for you, I'm lacing up
Know you're watching, think I'm crazy, yup
These old cleats got one more run in 'em now
Underneath the Atlanta clouds.
[Outro]
One last game.
Save me a spot on the bench.
