I say my prayers mornin' just like orange juice I the crinkles out my body till I'm feelin' loose I strap my sneakers on my like they was combat boots They fit my feet like Cinderella when I'm shootin'
Why oh why do keep chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and Sometimes I wanna blow my to put my life at ease But I ain't clockin' out I gotta see the seven
Please, seven's a very number for me That was the age when I discovered how good ballin' be Up every mornin' with the birdies doin' little Go to my left go to my right mad skills
How could a love for this game bring so much I played with brothas so much badness But now they I sing a song pop a three From the top of the key in memory
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 still be lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another color I be rememberin' my partners on the 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 that we'd been dominatin' there for hours
All day to be more east to west From Atlantic to Pacific would come round To get down and try to take our But we would hold our ground and we would never down
Old timers, new timers would get in there And take a there and try to prepare But oh, no, there was no chance we was in the zone We was alone at the top, we had hops, we got
And when we needed to we busted Wipe the court your game like we was usin' mops What ever happened to the Super Hoopers in the I reminisce while shootin' solitary dark
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna my shit and flee Even in when it's another color sport I still be 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 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 handles and like he could clown ya Dribblin' baby bounces between drinkin' ounces Knock ya on your heels and do circles like he was Curly
But oh no, the liquor got to his head and he said "I think I musta some stupid bets" He hit me up for some cash, there was a car A splash and then the brother made a mad
Rob, oh, Rob his whole was like a roller coaster But on the he looked like a Dr. J. Poster high with an Afro blowin' in the wind Wipin' Windex, index finger off the glass
Then swish through the net jump a Corvette with a triple But off the he had a few temptations copulations No moderations by 24 he had 3 Last check crack
So other brothers gone from this dimension And none of those who got hurt a pension 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 court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in when it's another color sport I be rememberin' my on the basketball court
