Scottie Pippen Songtext
von Mick Jenkins

I was trippin′
I was definitely trippin' now that I think about it
Number two, I was Pippen
No matter how hard I shoot, I′ll never win it all
On my own, yeah, without you (without you)
It's the same thing for me
I was trippin'


I was just used to that shit
It′s like suicides after practice, I was conditioned this way
You a brand-new conditioner
I didn′t realize that I was auditionin' though
Bring all of your inhibitions this way
Don′t tell me no lies, I'm learnin′, I'm listenin′, huh
You should recognize a nigga is different this way
Less randomized, and way more intentional now
It's all the way down to your hips and the distance dey sway
I def' memorized your kiss and the lip-gloss you use
I counted the freckles and all of the dips in your face
Nothing can touch that joy
Pitter patter of your feet
I always slip at your pace

I been trippin′
I was definitely trippin′ now that I think about it
I was blue, I was crippin'
See the red, Bull shittin′
I was Pippen
No matter how hard I shoot, I'll never win it all
On my own, yeah, without you
It′s the same thing for me


You more than enticed a young man
Your voice was nearly enough to suffice at that time
That isn't likely these days
You know what I mean, we sacrifice for this love
I know for sure it′s not overpriced over here
And that's not to say it wasn't expensive as fuck
That′s not to say we didn′t roll a dice over here
Scratchin' our heads, it wasn′t no lice, it's just real life
Committed to her before all of her vices were clear
She committed to me despite the advices we heard
We thought it was sweet, it′s not Oberweis over here
Felt like a male bird of paradise for a year
Still, we throwin' rice over here (Rice over here)
We both had walls up so high
Reachin′ new heights over here

I been trippin'
I was definitely trippin' now that I think about it
With the crew, I was different
Eyes were red, I was bitchin′, bullshittin′
No matter how hard I shoot, I'll never win it all
On my own, without you
