about

I'll always remember David Robinson flying high in the air, blocking a Michael Jordan dunk, this song is about both him and the Nike Carnivores, a pair I remember being worn by my college basketball team's assistant coach in pickup games.

lyrics

At the start of war, watch out for Carnivores
Teeth gnashing for the martyr more, sharks galore
Carpet floors, cover damage maybe guard the door
Tighten velcro straps, snatch a heart for sure
Regarding predators eating patterns the art of more
High tech, the connoisseur with a sharp repoire
Far from floors, flying over cats, you know the haps
Left handed with a note attached, I broke your back
The jumper deadly, got the lane opening wide
Split second and I’m gone, watch me smoke them in kind
Soaking in brine with bitterness
From what I did to them
Naval operator, got the flavor prime meridian
Shots are high percentage
The admiral, is it me or just the Cybergenics
My flight ascendant
It’s time to get it, my drive the weapon I’m throwing down
And if you didn’t know my name, well you know it now

Cover ground, got the moves of gazelle
Hardwood conqueror, proving it as well
These opera guys might talk a nice scheme
But do they really have that oxidized green?
In slow mo’s the only way you see the scene
Foot and ankle steady cradled by the neoprene
They’ll catch up to me when hell froze back
Still lock it down with those velcro straps
Safari midsole with black and white print
Jagged like the nerves of those to who try to fly since
Zen gray and black with a grimace touch
I mean the purple accent admit it’s tough
Anyone who starts Imma finish up
The carnival of carnivores find the dinner stuff
Spin and bust another move with straps steady
I’m ahead of my time, no other cats get me
