Shooting Hoops

                                  When the school lets out and the shifts are done

Get the boys together get a ball get a run

Lace up the sneaks kick off them shoes

I'll admit I play to win yo cause I don't like to lose

At Seger Park they've got the competition

Good moves baby -- I'm the definition

They shooting hoops

Yeah Yeah Yeah

They playing basketball

I learned at Old Pine, see I'm the school yard hustler

I had my hardknocks now I'm an off the backboard buster

I could fake to the left penetrate like Mike

Or 360 in the air as Dominique might

I could pass like Magic

I could shoot like the Bird, after a Doctor J dunk

The courtside drunk said good lord

They shooting hoops

Yeah Yeah Yeah

They playing basketball

Lunch from a hot dog stand a pretzel and a pop

We've been playing all day cuase we've had this court nonstop

The city sun is hot -- all the courts they steaming

Bright eyed young ball handlers are believing and dreaming

Hoping some day all this playing will be paying

That's what all the sideline junkies smoking reefer keep saying

They shooting hoops

Yeah Yeah Yeah

They playing basketball
