[Verse]
Am
Down on the courts in Bed Stuy, a legend rose from the streets
G Am
Just a poor kid with no use for what the others called gravity
Am
People came from all around to see young Connie Hawkins do his thing
G
When the hawk went up against the best at Rucker Park, oh how the choir would sing
D
High flying kid, do you know what you just did?
F Dm Am
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, what do you know
C G
Hey pa, I think I'm gonna make it, I'm going away on a one way ticket
F Dm Am
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, steady you go
C G
Round here those are always sinking, folks will say, Connie, what were you thinking
Dm
Am
He lead the team in High School, he never lost once two years in a row
G Am
Got a scholarship to Iowa and knew that he had to go
Am
He sent a letter home, to his papa, said, papa, I'm going to the NBA
G Am
But then out of nowhere his name got dropped into a scandal, always someone got to pay
D
High flying kid, do you know what you just did?
F Dm Am
It's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, what do you know
C G
Hey pa, I think I'm gonna make it, I'm going away on a one way ticket
F Dm Am
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, steady you go
C G
Round here those are always sinking, folks will say, Connie, what were you thinking
Dm
F Am Dm G
So I got to, got to, got to get going now, pap, there's a detective here from the DA
A# F C
And he's telling me they'll lock me away, if I don't say what he wants me to say
A# F Gm Dm
So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn't like they say
Gm A# C
The investigators pushed me around, and then I was blackballed by the NBA
F Cm A# F Dm
That playground legend, who could dunk when he was eleven, with super natural abilities
F Dm C
Long before MJ, before the Doctor
F C A# F Dm
And his Dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, he never got his day in the sun
F Dm C F
And now here lies High Flying Hawkins, the greatest player that never was
C
