Shooting Hoops

(Verse 1)
Well, when the school lets out and the shifts they done
Get the boys together, ah brother get a ball get and run
Lace up them sneaks, oh gonna kick off them shoes
I'll admit I play to win, yo, I don't like to lose
At Seger Park they've got the best competition
"Good move, baby": I'm the definition

(Chorus)
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball

(Verse 2)
I learned at Old Pine, see I'm the school yard hustler
I had my hard knocks, now I'm an off the backboard buster
I could fake to the left, oh penetrate like Mike
And three-sixty degrees in the air as Dominique might
I could pass like Magic, yeah I could shoot like the Bird
After a Doctor J dunk, that courtside drunk said "Good lord!"

(Chorus)
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball, yeah

(Verse 3)
Lunch from a hot dog stand, a pretzels and a pop
We've been playing all day cause we've had this court nonstop
The city sun is hot, now all the courts they steamin'
Bright-eyed young, bright-eyed young ball handlers believing, yes, and a-dreamin'
Hoping some day all this playin' will be payin'
That's what all the sideline junkies smoking reefer keep saying

(Chorus)
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball
