Chorus
You used to be a balla
Then you wrecked yo Impala
You’re name used to light in beams
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to love this girl
She used to be your entire world
When you used to see her face, it was like it gleamed
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to be a gangsta but now yo clean
Then one day you got caught in the streets.
The gangsta used to be part of yo team
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
Verse
There was this guy
And it came to his surprise
He was walking in the park
But when he came into the dark
He noticed that he heard sounds
After that he hit the ground
He tried to breathe and run away
But he would end up in the hospital that very next day
Then the doctor said he had survived
It was a miracle that he would even be alive
When they figured out who had done this
He could barely believe it
He couldn’t see it
And everybody knows he wouldn’t be it
After that day
His brother got locked away
Chorus
You used to be a balla
Then you wrecked yo Impala
You’re name used to light in beams
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to love this girl
She used to be your entire world
When you used to see her face, it was like it gleamed
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to be a gangsta but now yo clean
Then one day you got caught in the streets.
The gangsta used to be part of yo team
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
Verse
Out in the streets there was an upcoming star
He had to play on courts outside bars
He could dunk, dribble, rebound and shoot
Other ballers had to look out when he came to the hoop
One day there was a there was someone in the crowd
He didn’t know it then, but that guy would help him out
He played his best that game and the guy in the crowd was a scout
That day launched his new career
And he didn’t have any fear
About being a big name baller
Like Vince Carter
But one day he was cruisin down the streets
And his, and another car had to meet
He was injured badly
And it was so sadly
That he had to retire from basketball
It’s so amazing how you could fall
He would had an amazing life
But now he has to stay in the streets with his wife
This is the story of a true baller
And how is life went from large to smaller
Chorus
You used to be a balla
Then you wrecked yo Impala
You’re name used to light in beams
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to love this girl
She used to be your entire world
When you used to see her face, it was like it gleamed
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
You used to be a gangsta but now yo clean
Then one day you got caught in the streets.
The gangsta used to be part of yo team
But now it’s just (Shattered Dreams)
