I say my prayers every mornin' just like orange I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm loose I strap my sneakers on my feet like they was boots They fit my feet like when I'm shootin' hoops
Why oh why do memories chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Sometimes I wanna blow my brains to put my at ease But I ain't out I gotta see the seven seas
Please, a very lucky number for me That was the age when I discovered how 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 bring so sadness I played with brothas with so badness But now they gone I sing a pop a three the top of the key in they memory
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's color sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my and flee Even in seasons it's another color sport I be my partners on the basketball court
Do you runnin' the court in September? Me and my homies be down for come along and try to send us to the showers From the game that we'd dominatin' there for hours
All day to be more east to west From Atlantic to fools would come round To get and try to take our crown But we hold our ground and we would never back down
Old timers, new timers would get in there And take a seat there and try to But oh, no, there was no chance we was in the zone 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 to the Super Hoopers in the park I reminisce while solitary after dark
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 memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna 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 fresh from out of town And he had handles and like McDonald's he clown ya Dribblin' baby bounces drinkin' forty ounces Knock ya on heels and do circles like he was Curly Neal
But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his and he said "I I musta placed some stupid bets" He hit me up for cash, there was a car crash A and then the brother made a mad dash
Rob, oh, Rob his whole was like a roller coaster But on the he looked like a Dr. J. Poster Flyin' high with an blowin' in the wind Windex, index 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 other brothers gone this dimension And of those who got hurt receive a pension Give a bup, bup, to locked up in detention Memories too dimension And we say, "One time, one more time"
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Even in seasons when it's another color I still be lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when another color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball
