Basketball
Bow Wow Ft Fabolous Lyrics

They're playing basketball
Right now, people are engaged in a game of basketball

We love that basketball
We have an immense liking for the sport of basketball

Yeah, now basketball is my favorite sport
At present, basketball is my most preferred and beloved game

I love the way they dribble up and down the court
I adore the ability of basketball players to move the ball skillfully by bouncing it off the court surface in rapid succession

I keep it so fresh on the microphone
I consistently produce novel, original rap lyrics that engage and entertain my audience

I like no interruption when the game is on
I enjoy watching basketball games without disruption or interference from extraneous sources

I like slam dunk, to take me to the hoop
I derive pleasure from witnessing players jump high to forcefully throw the ball down through the hoop ring

My favorite play is the alley-oop
I find great satisfaction in the acrobatic, high-flying basketball move where one player leaps in the air and catches a pass from another player to slam the ball into the basket

I like the pick-and-roll
I appreciate the basketball strategy where one player sets a screen to block a defender, allowing another player to move away from their defender with the ball for an open shot

I like the give-and-go
I admire the basketball play where one player passes the ball to a teammate who immediately passes it back, creating an opportunity for a shot or layup

In this basketball, Bow Wow, let's go
I'm urging Bow Wow to come and participate in the game of basketball with me

I got the rock in my hands
I currently possess the basketball in my possession

ain't no telling what I'm gonna do with it
It's impossible to predict what move or shot I'll make with the ball

When I come position I'ma act a fool with it
Once I'm in a prime scoring position, I'm going to execute a truly impressive move or shot

I might cross you up fake one way
I might deceive you with a fake move, pretending to go in one direction but quickly changing course

Turn around and hit you with you with the MJ fadeaway
I will imitate Michael Jordan's signature move of twisting my body in mid-air to create space between me and my defender, allowing me to take a fadeaway jump shot

I'm throwing dime passes like J. Kidd
I'm making extremely accurate, on-target passes like basketball legend Jason Kidd

Taking cats to the rack
I'm aggressively driving to the basket, taking on defenders with ease

And I'm dunking on them like T. Mac
I'm performing powerful slam dunks over my opponents, like Tracy McGrady

When I'm in the paint I play with that Alonzo style
When I'm near the basket, I emulate Alonzo Mourning's aggressive, tough style of play

I'm like Darius cause I can shoot two miles
I'm able to shoot long-range jump shots with impressive accuracy, like basketball player Darius Miles

Don't too many players get offers like me
There aren't too many players who receive offers or opportunities like I do

Back and forth, I'll likely
I'll probably be going back and forth, exchanging shots and moves with my opponents

Shake the checks off your Nikes
I'm so quick and agile that I can make my opponents' sneakers come loose and shake as they try to guard me

They almost had me in a suit at the draft
I was nearly not selected during the basketball draft process, and would have attended the event as an audience member or spectator wearing a suit instead

And it look like a free throw when I be shooting from half
When I'm shooting from the halfway line or beyond, my form resembles a free throw throw motion rather than a traditional jump shot technique

The first step like Iverson - blow past you
My initial move when I have the ball, much like Allen Iverson, is to sprint past defenders with great speed and agility

Usually nothing but net, but I can go blast too
My shots typically find only the bottom of the net, but occasionally I'll shoot with more force and make the ball hit harder on the rim before it goes in

When I'm in the paint the defense so shook
When I'm near the basket, the opposition's defense is so intimidated and confused that they're hesitant to challenge me

They don't know if I'ma put up a slow hook, or dish off a no-look
The defenders can't predict if I'm going to make a slow, underhanded hook shot or pass the ball to a teammate with a clever no-look pass

See my game consist of a whole lotta
My personal style of play involves using a wide array of different moves and techniques

Moves you would think I learned from the Harlem Globetrotters
My moves and tricks seem so flashy and impossible that you might assume I learned them from the famous Harlem Globetrotters basketball team

J.D. gon lead us to a ring
My coach, Jermaine Dupri, is going to guide our basketball team to a championship victory

Fab and Bow Wow the only players that make cheerleaders want to sing
Only Fabolous and I have the skills and charisma to attract such excitement and enthusiasm from cheering fans and audiences

Now tell me were you in the joint
Can you recall if you were present at a certain place or event?

The night MJ scored 63 points
Can you remember witnessing the night Michael Jordan achieved an incredible 63-point game in basketball

When the Lakers won titles back to back
Do you recall the consecutive championship victories of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team

didn't give nobody, no kind of slack
The Lakers played with great determination and tenacity, leaving no room for their opponents to relax or get complacent

When Vince Carter gave and stuck his arm in the rim
Do you remember the awe-inspiring moment when basketball player Vince Carter leapt so high that he reached his arm all the way through the hoop ring while dunking the ball

Everybody went crazy in the whole damn gym
Everyone in attendance erupted with excitement and enthusiasm, reacting with wild cheers and applause to Vince Carter's amazing feat

Dikembe Mutombo standing tall
Basketball player Dikembe Mutombo, know for his towering height, is positioned firmly on defense

Playing D with desire, it's basketball
Mutombo's exceptional display of defensive skills and passion is a prime example of the art and beauty of basketball

We love that basketball
Once again emphasizing our intense passion and enjoyment of basketball
