Englisch Hilfe benötigt

Kann mir jemand vielleicht folgende zwei Fragen zu dem Text beantworten?
1.
Why does he not by them? How does he choose to get them?
2. How does the poetry convey the robber`s and the victim`s love of Air Jordans to the reader?

Danke für Eure Hilfe.


my air jordans cost a hundred with tax
my suede starters jacket says raiders on the back
i`m stylin . . . smilin . . . lookin real mean cuz
it ain`t about bein heard just bein seen

my leather adidas baseball cap
matches my fake gucci backpack
there`s nobody out there looks good as me
but the gear costs money it sure ain`t free


and i gots no job no money at all
but it`s easy to steal fresh gear from the mall
parents say i shouldn`t but i know i should
gots ta do what i can to make sure i look good


and the reason i have to look real fly
well to tell ya the truth man i don`t know why
i guess it makes me feel special inside
when i`m wearin fresh gear i don`t have to hide


but i really must get some new gear soon
or my ego will pop like a ten cent balloon
but security`s tight at all the shops
everyday there are more and more cops


my crew`s laughin at me cuz i`m wearin old gear
school`s almost over summer is near
and i`m sportin torn jordans and need somethin new
there`s only one thing left to do


cut school friday catch the subway downtown
check out my victims hangin around
maybe i`ll get lucky and find easy prey
gots to get some new gear there`s no other way


i`m ready and willin i`m packin my gun
this is serious bizness it sure ain`t no fun
but i can`t have my posse laughin at me
i`ll cop somethin dope just wait you`ll see


come out a the station west 4th near the park
brothers shootin hoops and someone remarks
HEY HOMES . . . WHERE`D YOU GET THOSE DEF NIKES
as i said to myself. . . i likes em . . . i likes


they were q-tip white bright and blinded my eyes
the red emblem of michael looked as if it could fly
not one spot of dirt the airs were brand new
had my pistol knew just what to do


followed him very closely behind
waited until it was just the right time
made a left turn on houston pulled out my gun and screamed
GIMME THEM JORDANS . . . and he tried ta run


took off fast but didn`t get far
i fired (POW) he fell between two parked cars
he was coughin/cryin/blood dripped on the street
and i snatched them air jordans off a his feet


while layin there dyin all he could say was
please . . . don`t take my air jordans away . . .
you think he`d be worried about stayin alive
as i took off with the jordans there were tears in his eyes


the very next day i bopped into school
with my brand new air jordans man was i cool
i killed to get them but hey . . . i don`t care
cuz now. . . i needs a new jacket to wear
