I say my prayers every mornin' just orange juice I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm feelin' I strap my sneakers on my feet like they was combat fit my feet like Cinderella when I'm shootin' hoops
Why oh why do memories keep me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee I wanna 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 good ballin' be Up every mornin' with the birdies doin' little Go to my left go to my developin' mad skills
How could a love for this game so much sadness I played with brothas so much badness But now gone I sing a song pop a three the top of the key in they memory
Why, oh, why do memories be me? Sometimes it makes me grab my shit and flee in seasons when it's another color 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 it's another color sport I be rememberin' my on the basketball court
Do you remember the court in September? Me and my be down for whoever Would come along and try to us to the showers From the game we'd been dominatin' there for hours
All day to be more specific east to From Atlantic to fools 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 seat there and try to 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 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 while 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 another 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 rememberin' my on the basketball court
Why, oh, Why, oh,
C came fresh from out of town And he had handles and McDonald's he could clown ya Dribblin' baby between drinkin' forty ounces Knock ya on your and do circles like he was Curly Neal
But oh no, the got quicker to his head and he said "I think I musta placed some bets" He hit me up for some cash, was a car crash A splash and then the brother a mad dash
Rob, oh, Rob his whole was like a roller coaster But on the court he looked like a Dr. J. Flyin' high an Afro blowin' in the wind Wipin' Windex, index rolls off the glass
Then swish through the net jump a with a triple pirouette But off the court he had a few copulations No by 24 he had 3 pregnations check crack intoxications
So many other 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? it makes me wanna grab my shit 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? Sometimes it makes me wanna my shit and flee in seasons when it's another color sport I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball
