I say my prayers every just like orange 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 I wanna blow my brains 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 ballin' could be Up every mornin' with the birdies little drills Go to my go to my right developin' mad skills
How could a love for this 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 still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court
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 rememberin' my partners on the court
Do you remember the court in September? Me and my homies be down for Would come and try to send us to the showers From the game that we'd been dominatin' for hours
All day to be specific east to west From Atlantic to Pacific fools would come To get down and try to take our But we would our ground and we would never back down
Old timers, new timers get in line 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 Wipe the court 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 color sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my and flee Even in when 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 clown ya Dribblin' baby bounces between drinkin' forty ya on your heels and do circles like he was Curly Neal
But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his head and he "I I musta placed some stupid bets" He hit me up for some cash, was a car crash A splash and then the made a mad dash
Rob, oh, Rob his life was like a roller coaster But on the court he looked a Dr. J. Poster Flyin' high an Afro blowin' in the wind Wipin' Windex, index finger rolls off the
Then swish through the net jump a Corvette a triple pirouette But off the court he had a few temptations No by 24 he had 3 pregnations Last check crack
So other brothers gone from this dimension And none of those who got hurt receive a a bup, bup, to those locked up in detention Memories too dimension And we say, "One more time, one time"
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my and flee Even in seasons when another color sport I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' 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
