Chours:
|
They're playing Basketball,
|
We love that Basketball,
|
They're playing Basketball,
|
We love that Basketball
|
|
(Now rapping Basketball, Number 1, Kurtis Blow)
|
Basketball is my favorite sport,
|
I like the way they dribble up and down the court,
|
Just like I'm the King on the microphone, so is Dr. J and Moses Malone,
|
I like Slam-dunks, take me to the hoop,
|
My favorite play is the alley-oop,
|
I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go,
|
Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow,
|
|
Chours
|
|
I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl,
|
To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl,
|
And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West,
|
To play Basketball at it's very best,
|
Basketball has always been my thing,
|
I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King,
|
And number 33, my man Kareem,
|
Is the center on my starting team,
|
|
(To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out
|
In yo' face, now here comes the rest)
|
|
Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete,
|
Now these players, could never be beat,
|
Isiah, and Iceman too,
|
Just give 'em the ball, and then you talk up too,
|
Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene,
|
And Ralph Sampson is really mean,
|
Bill Russell didn't take no junk,
|
and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk,
|
Tell me, were you in the joint?,
|
The night Wilt scored 100 points,
|
Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back,
|
And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack,
|
Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team,
|
With moves that came right out of a dream,
|
Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall,
|
Playing D with desire, it's Basketball,
|
|
