I say my every mornin' just like orange juice I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm loose I strap my sneakers on my like they was combat boots 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 blow 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 discovered how ballin' could be Up mornin' with the birdies doin' little drills Go to my left go to my right mad skills
How could a love for this bring so much sadness I played with brothas with so badness But now they gone I sing a pop a three From the top of the key in they
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it me wanna grab my shit and flee Even in seasons when it's another sport I still be 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 when it's color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the court
Do you runnin' the court in September? Me and my be down for whoever Would come and try to send us to the showers the game that we'd been dominatin' there for hours
All day to be more east to west From Atlantic to Pacific fools come round To get down and try to our crown But we would hold our and we would never back down
Old timers, new timers would get in there And a seat 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 chops Wipe the court with game like we was usin' mops ever happened to the Super Hoopers in the park I reminisce while shootin' solitary after
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 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 another color sport I be rememberin' my on the basketball court
Why, oh, Why, oh,
Brother C fresh from out of town And he had handles and like he could clown ya baby 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 some cash, there was a car A splash and the brother 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 with an Afro in the wind Wipin' Windex, index rolls off the glass
Then through the net jump a Corvette with a triple pirouette But off the court he had a few temptations No by 24 he had 3 pregnations Last crack intoxications
So many other brothers gone from this And none of those who got receive a pension Give a bup, bup, to those up in detention too many dimension And we say, "One more time, one time"
Why, oh, why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee in seasons when it's another color sport I still be lines out on the basketball court singin'
Why, oh why do be chasin' me? Sometimes it makes me wanna my shit and flee in seasons when it's another color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the court
