I say my prayers every mornin' just like juice I crack the crinkles out my body I'm feelin' loose I my sneakers on my feet like they was combat boots They fit my feet like Cinderella when I'm shootin'
Why oh why do memories keep me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee Sometimes I wanna blow my to put my life at ease But I ain't out I gotta see the seven seas
Please, seven's a very lucky for me was the age when I discovered how good ballin' could be Up every with the birdies doin' little drills Go to my go to my right developin' mad skills
How could a love for this game bring so sadness I played brothas with so much badness But now they I sing a song pop a three the top of the key in they memory
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee Even in when it's another color sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another color I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball
Do you remember the court in September? Me and my homies be down for Would along and try to send us to the showers the game that we'd been dominatin' there for hours
All day to be more specific east to From Atlantic to Pacific would come round To get and try to take our crown But we would hold our ground and we would never back
Old timers, new would get in line there And take a seat there and try to But oh, no, there was no chance when we was in the We was at the top, we had hops, we got props
And we needed to we busted chops the court with your game like we was usin' mops What ever happened to the Super Hoopers in the I reminisce shootin' solitary after dark
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another sport I be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another color I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball
Why, oh, Why, oh,
Brother C came fresh from out of And he had and like McDonald's he could clown ya Dribblin' baby bounces between drinkin' forty Knock ya on your heels and do circles like he was Neal
But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his and he said "I think I musta some stupid bets" He hit me up for some cash, there was a car A splash and the brother made a mad dash
Rob, oh, Rob his whole life was like a coaster But on the court he looked like a Dr. J. Flyin' high an Afro blowin' in the wind Wipin' Windex, finger rolls off the glass
Then swish through the net jump a Corvette with a pirouette But off the court he had a few temptations No moderations by 24 he had 3 Last check crack
So many brothers gone from this dimension And none of those who got hurt a pension a bup, bup, to those locked up in detention Memories too dimension And we say, "One more time, one time"
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my and flee Even in seasons when it's another sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the court
