[chorus]
they're playing basketball
we love that basketball
Now basketball is my favorite sport
i like the way they dribble up and down the court
i keep it so fresh on the microphone
i like no interruption when the game is on
i like slam-dunks that take me to the hoop
my favorite play is the alley-oop
i like the pick-n-roll
i like the give-n-go
and its basketball bow wow lets go
[chorus]
I got the rock in my hands
there ain't no tellin what i'm gonna do wit it
when i got possession i'm gonna have to fool wit it
i might cross you up and fake one way
turn around and hit you wit the mj fade-away
i throwin down passes like j-kidd
taking cats to the rack
and i'm dunkin over them like t-mac
when i'm in the paint i play wit that alonzo style
i'm like darius cuz i can shoot 2 miles
Don't too many players get offers like me
i'm back-n-forth likely
shake the checks off your nikes
they almost had me in a suit at the draft
cuz it look like a freethrow
when i be shootin from half
the first step like iverson, blow pass you
he'll leave nothin but net, but i can go glass too
when i'm in the paint the defense so shook
they don't know if i'm gonna put up a slow hook or dish up a no-look
see my game consist of whole lotta.....
moves you would think i learned from the harlem globe trotters
jd gonna lead us to a ring
fab and bow wow is the only players that makes the cheerleaders wanna sing
[chorus]
Now tell me were you in the joint
the night mj scored 63 points
when the lakers won titles back-to-back
didn't give nobody no kind of slack
when vince carter came
stuck his arm in the rim
everbody went crazy in the whole damn gym
dikembe mutumbo standing tall
playing d wit desire
its basketball
[chorus]
