Текст песни Basketball - Kurtis Blow

They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
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

They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball

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
Isaiah, 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
To the hoop, ya'll
In yo' face

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 doctor J sthe 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

They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball

I get the ball and then I go and play
Like a superstar in the NBA
The forwards, the centers, and all the guards
The ones you see on the bubblegum cards
Me and homeboy would go one-on-one
Cause playing the game is a lot of fun
Sit by the TV and watch 'em all
Cause Kurtis Blow is rapping basketball
