I say my prayers every mornin' just like juice I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm loose I strap my sneakers on my feet they was combat boots They fit my feet like when I'm shootin' hoops
Why oh why do memories keep me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Sometimes I blow my brains to put my life at ease But I ain't clockin' out I gotta see the seas
Please, seven's a lucky number for me was the age when I discovered how good ballin' could be Up every mornin' with the birdies doin' little Go to my left go to my right developin' mad
How could a love for this game so much sadness I played with brothas with so much But now they gone I sing a song pop a the top of the key in they memory
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 still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's color sport I be my partners on the basketball court
Do you remember runnin' the court in Me and my homies be down for Would come along and try to send us to the From the game that we'd been dominatin' there for
All day to be specific east to west Atlantic to Pacific fools would come round To get down and try to take our But we hold our ground and we would never back down
Old timers, new timers would get in line And take a seat and try to prepare But oh, no, there was no chance when we was in the We was alone at the top, we had hops, we got
And we needed to we busted chops Wipe the court with your like we was usin' mops What ever happened to the Super in the park I reminisce while shootin' solitary dark
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna my shit and flee Even in when it's another color sport I still be memorizin' out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons it's another color sport I be my partners on the basketball court
Why, oh, Why, oh,
Brother C came from out of town And he had handles and like McDonald's he could ya Dribblin' bounces between drinkin' forty ounces Knock ya on your heels and do circles like he was Neal
But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his head and he "I think I musta some stupid bets" He hit me up for cash, there was a car crash A splash and then the brother a mad dash
Rob, oh, Rob his whole life was like a roller But on the he looked like a Dr. J. Poster Flyin' high an Afro blowin' in the wind Wipin' Windex, index finger off the glass
swish through the net jump a Corvette with a triple pirouette But off the he had a few temptations copulations 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 Give a bup, bup, to locked up in detention too many dimension And we say, "One time, one more time"
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's color sport I still be memorizin' out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and in seasons when it's another color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the court
