We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it 
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it 
Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shoe
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in 
Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid 
I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement 
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it 
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said 
Look at what that swoosh did 
See it consumed my thoughts 
Are you stupid, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box 
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk 
That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops 
We are what we wear, we wear what we are 
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all 
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box 
These Nikes help me define me, but I’m trying to take mine, off

Smart not bolding 'Nike' cause I know you don't own any Nikes.
