Amazing (feat. Melanie Rutherford)

Ryan!
 I am not trying to be in the store all day
 Y'all can play the game one time
 Let me go get change for a dollar real quick
 Hey my man, what's up, you got change for a dollar?
 What's up, man? You don't remember me do you? (Ryan!)
 I remember you. I remember you, definitely
 I remember you took my basketball and wouldn't give it back
 'cuz I dribbled it inside the store but I was just messing with you
 Plus that was my lucky ball
 My Dad got it signed by Isaiah Thomas so I kept it with me
 Everywhere I went I used to bounce that ball
 Everywhere I used to go I used bounce that, bounce that ball
 I'm little Ryan from 16650 on Bayers
 Remember me? I used to buy all the mystery mix Now And Laters
 I used to wait for God to come down and answer all my prayers
 Never asked for much when I sat down and say my prayers
 All I ever, ever wanted was to be amazing (Ryan!)
 Same little boy used to walk to the corner store
 Who used to get the Funyun chips
 Who ended up, dumb, young, and rich
 I had young parents but they both were strict
 I had a superstitious Grandad, wait, scratch that, crazy Grandad
 I seen him turn his hat around three times
 Drive his car around the corner three times in reverse
 Just 'cause he crossed paths with a black cat
 Man, you remember Hank? He used to be a jitney at the market
 My Mom used to do his laundry
 He used to have me and my brothers dyin' laughing at him
 Talkin about: you know you can't leave them clothes in
 the washing machine too long when they get done washed
 And still put 'em in the dryer
 Doing that makes the clothes stink
 Damn, being back here bring back so many memories
 You sure you don't remember me? You remember the ball
 Everywhere I went I used to bounce that ball
 Everywhere I used to go I used bounce that, bounce that ball
 Nigga, everybody know little Ryan from 17150 North Long
 I used to come and cop pork rinds
 I used to watch drug dealers come through in cars
 Like, if I get one of those, its showtime
 Never asked for much when I sat down and say my prayers
 All I ever, ever wanted was to be amazing (Ryan!)
 Is that Ryan?
 Is it always good to see him in the neighborhood.
 Hey baby! How your momma?
 Look at that car, he done done it.
 I told y'all he was gonna do somethin'
 Hell yeah
 Hell yeah
 Hell yeah
 Ryan!
 Wow, this is overwheling
 It feels like it was just yesteday I was
 watching Good Times wishing I could get a hold of Thelma
 Fighting with my brother over channels
 I like watching movies
 He likes stupid shit like Robin Williams going Nanu Nanu
 Whatever that stupid ass show called
 I ain't around here being no attention whore
 I need niggas to look at these whips
 for every time we got those extension cords
 God, I miss my big brother so much
 He went to prison so much that I don't
 think I'd recognize him these days much
 But I'mma always know what to get him from the Ice Cream truck
 He used to get the Push-up Pops
 I used to get the Snow Cone
 I used to wanna be just like Turbo
 He used to want to be Ozone
 I got all the kids waving at me
 All the elderly off they high horse
 They wouldn't even let a nigga play twenty-one in the driveway
 Nowdays the ball is in the my court (Ryan!)
 Everywhere I went I used to bounce that ball
 Everywhere I used to go I used to bounce that, bounce that ball
 Everybody going 'ain't that _____
 little Ryan from over there on Morrow
 I ain't seen him since he was a baby'
 Well I'm back in town to let people know that
 you don't need no lucky ball, you already amazing
 And I'm still your neighbor
 Little ol' Ryan
 And God bless the child no matter how
 long it seems, somehow he'll find his way home
 It's so important baby
 Between the memories and family,
 I don't know which one is more amazing
 Never asked for much when I sat down and say my prayers
 All I ever, ever wanted was to be amazing
