Down on the courts in Bed Stuy, a legend rose from the streets
D Em
Just a poor kid with no use for what the others called gravity
Em
People came from all around to see young Connie Hawkins do his thing
D
When the hawk went up against the best at Rucker Park, oh how the choir would sing
A
High flying kid, do you know what you just did?
C Am Em
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, what do you know
G D
Hey pa, I think I'm gonna make it, I'm going away on a one way ticket
C Am Em
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, steady you go
G D
Round here those are always sinking, folks will say, Connie, what were you thinking

Em
He lead the team in High School, he never lost once two years in a row
D Em
Got a scholarship to Iowa and knew that he had to go

He sent a letter home, to his papa, said, papa, I'm going to the NBA

But then out of nowhere his name got dropped into a scandal, always someone got to pay

So I got to, got to, got to get going now, pap, there's a detective here from the AA
F C G
And he's telling me they'll lock me away, if I don't say what he wants me to say
F C Dm Am
So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn't like they say
Dm F G
The investigators pushed me around, and then I was blackballed by the NBA
C Gm F C Am
That playground legend, who could dunk when he was eleven, with super natural abilities
C Am G
Long before MJ, before the Doctor
C G F C Am
And his Dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, he never got his day in the sun
C Am G C
And now here lies High Flying Hawkins, the greatest player that never was
