[00:51.81] | (Now rapping Basketball Number 1 Kurtis Blow) |
[00:56.78] | Basketball is my favorite sport |
[00:58.41] | I like the way they dribble up and down the court |
[01:00.77] | Just like I'm the King on the microphone |
[01:02.94] | so is Dr. J and Moses Malone |
[01:05.15] | I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop |
[01:07.71] | My favorite play is the alley oop |
[01:10.05] | I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go, |
[01:12.20] | Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow, |
[01:32.04] | |
[01:33.46] | I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl, |
[01:35.36] | To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl, |
[01:37.55] | And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West, |
[01:39.79] | To play Basketball at it's very best, |
[01:42.00] | Basketball has always been my thing, |
[01:44.48] | I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King, |
[01:46.73] | And number 33, my man Kareem, |
[01:49.00] | Is the center on my starting team, |
[01:51.55] | |
[02:00.33] | (To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out |
[02:08.53] | In yo' face, now here comes the rest) |
[02:10.78] | Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete, |
[02:12.14] | Now these players, could never be beat, |
[02:14.42] | Isiah, and Iceman too, |
[02:16.59] | Just give 'em the ball, and then you talk up too, |
[02:18.98] | Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene, |
[02:21.78] | And Ralph Sampson is really mean, |
[02:23.81] | Bill Russell didn't take no junk, |
[02:26.00] | and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk, |
[02:28.34] | |
[03:05.29] | Tell me, were you in the joint?, |
[03:07.35] | The night Wilt scored 100 points, |
[03:09.57] | Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back, |
[03:12.24] | And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack, |
[03:14.31] | Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team, |
[03:16.50] | With moves that came right out of a dream, |
[03:18.69] | Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall, |
[03:21.05] | Playing D with desire, it's Basketball, |
[05:16.83] | |
[05:17.13] |
