Basketball - Kurtis Blow

They're playing basketball

Now rapping basketball

Number one Kurtis Blow

Basketball is my favorite sport

I like the way they dribble up

And down the court

Just like I'm the king of 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 for 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 its very best

Basketball has always been my thing

I like Magic Bird and Bernard King

And number thirty-three my man Kareem

Is the center on my starting team

To the hoop y'all

Watch out watch out in yo' face

Here comes the rest

Clyde Rick Barry and Pistol Pete

Now these players could never be beat

Isiah 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 y'all

Yes

Here I go

Face

Watch there here damn

You can't check me man

Get on down

Oh yeah I like this basketball

Here I go in your face

Swish

Oh yeah

To the hoop y'all

It's basketball

Tell me were you in the joint

The night Wilt scored a hundred points

Or when the Celtics won titles back-to-back

And didn't give nobody no kind of slack

Or when Dr J shook the 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 (To the hoop y'all)

We love that basketball (Yeah yeah girl)

They're playing basketball (Aw yeah)

We love that basketball

(To the hoop to the hoop to the hoop y'all)

They're playing basketball (Shoot the pill)

We love that basketball (Slam dunk)

They're playing basketball (Damn damn damn damn)

We love that basketball (Aw yeah)

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

Then homeboy we 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 rappin' basketball

They're playing basketball (The ball y'all)

We love that basketball

(The pill the pill the pill)

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball (Oh yeah to the hoop)

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball We love that basketball
