I say my prayers every mornin' just like orange I crack the crinkles out my body I'm feelin' loose I strap my sneakers on my feet like they was combat They fit my feet Cinderella when I'm shootin' hoops
Why oh why do memories chasin' me? it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee Sometimes I wanna my brains to put my life at ease But I ain't clockin' out I see the seven seas
Please, seven's a very number for me That was the age when I how good ballin' could be Up every mornin' with the doin' little drills Go to my left go to my right mad skills
How a love for this game bring so much sadness I played brothas with so much badness But now they I sing a song pop a three From the top of the key in they
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Even in seasons when it's another sport I be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Even in seasons when another color sport I be rememberin' my on the basketball court
Do you remember runnin' the in September? Me and my homies be for whoever come along and try to send us to the showers From the game that we'd dominatin' there for hours
All day to be specific east to west From Atlantic to Pacific fools come round To get and try to take our crown But we would hold our and we would never back down
Old timers, new timers get in line there 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 when we needed to we chops Wipe the court your game like we was usin' mops What ever happened to the Super in the park I while shootin' solitary after dark
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Even in seasons when it's another sport I be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? Sometimes it 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 fresh out of town And he had and like McDonald's he could clown ya Dribblin' bounces between drinkin' forty ounces Knock ya on your and do circles like he was Curly Neal
But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his and he said "I think I musta placed some 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 coaster But on the court he looked like a Dr. J. Flyin' high an Afro 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 copulations No by 24 he had 3 pregnations Last crack intoxications
So many brothers gone from this dimension And none of those who got hurt receive a Give a bup, bup, to those locked up in Memories too dimension And we say, "One time, one more time"
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it me wanna grab my shit and flee in seasons when it's another color sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball singin'
Why, oh why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another sport I be rememberin' my on the basketball court
