You might think it weird,

Some will think it’s funny

But I just donā€™t understand how people can spend that money.

$200 or so for some Jordans and you wear them in the rain?

This man got six rings; I think thatā€™s just a pain

Of course, the object is just that

It’s not that important,

Itā€™s certainly not world-changing,

But oh, I have to say,

When you lace up your all-season Jump Mans

You put your 1s in puddles, you wear your 2s in the slush

Your 3s are pretty gross, theyā€™ve turned into mush

Your 4s have grass stains and your 5s are mildewed

I just donā€™t understand how people can spend that money.

You mean to tell me,

You have $200 for Jordans

But not $50 for some wet weather shoes?

You bought them cause their cool,

Make you feel better at school,

And now their all muddy,

Oh no, you fool.

I like Jordans, so

Thatā€™s why,

I just donā€™t understand how people can spend that money
