| The other day
|
| A friend gave me a call
|
| He said that the dream team was playin basketball
|
| Was so excited / That I hadda get a Witness
|
| The first time the NBA was in the 'lympics
|
| players from the east/ players from the west
|
| And you can bet that they took the very best
|
| (Except they left Tim Hardaway at home
|
| Yeah that was hella fucked up!)
|
| But Anyway
|
| I tuned in because I was hella psyched
|
| To see Magic Johnson on the same team as Mike
|
| Gettin crazy / Havin lots of fun
|
| makin sure that they got the job done
|
| Fans were wavin the red white end blue
|
| It seemed strange to me / was it strange to you?
|
| Brotha’s on the street / And everyone is scared a ya So how could ten Africans represent America?
|
| Bullshit / It didn’t mean a thing
|
| 'Cause in the same year / we saw Rodney King
|
| So I thought / That I would put a team together
|
| A team that I have been waitin for forever
|
| Some a you / May know what I mean
|
| But if you don’t then / Lemme introduce you to…
|
| MY DREAM TEAM!

|
| are general manager is Chief Crazy Horse
|
| Huey Newton/ 'cause he was extra hard

|
| I dreamed Charles Barkley would be played by Marcus Garvey
|
| he’d be throwin people off his back and makin
|
| sure they never got a rebound rebound / and
|
| he’d throw it to the outlet
|
| Nat Turner/ 'cause he can turn the corner when
|
| he’s out there
|
| he be flyin through the air/ throwin passes like
|
| he really doesn’t care/behind the back /and in between the legs
|
| he’s handlin the rock /as gently as an egg
|
| he’s throwin it in/ to Angela Davis’s neighborhood
|
| she’s postin up down in the extra hard wood
|
| she grabs the pill/ and then she puts her shoulder down
|
| get out the way/ 'cause she’s gonna throw down now
|
| boom /oh my god! |
| I just can’t believe it get anotha backboard or bettah yet leave it.
|
