Basketball
Lil Bow Wow Lyrics

They're playing basketball (uh all around the world)
Basketball games are happening all over the world

We love that basketball (uh to the beat y'all)
We enjoy basketball, it makes us feel good

They're playing basketball (let's go, all around the world)
Basketball is being played globally, it's exciting

We love that basketball (this is so so dat)
We really love basketball, it's amazing

They're playing basketball (to the beat y'all)
Basketball games are happening in rhythm and are exciting

We love that basketball (yeah)
We absolutely adore basketball

They're playing basketball (uh huh, uh huh)
Basketball games are happening right now

We love that basketball
We love basketball and all that it entails

Yeah, now basketball is my favorite sport
Basketball is the most enjoyable sport for me

I like the way they dribble up and down the court
I find it exciting how players maneuver the ball around the court

I keep it so fresh on the microphone
I bring my unique style to the game as a player and rapper

I like no interruption when the game is on
I like to be fully immersed in the basketball game without any distractions

I like slam dunk, to take me to the hoop
I love watching players powerfully slam the ball into the hoop

My favorite play is the alley-oop
My preferred strategy is the impressive alley-oop move

I like the pick-and-roll
I enjoy the effective teamwork that comes with the pick-and-roll move

I like the give-and-go
I appreciate the smooth, coordinated play of the give-and-go maneuver

In this basketball, Bow Wow, let's go
I invite Bow Wow to join me in enjoying the game of basketball

I got the rock in my hands
I currently have possession of the basketball

Ain't no telling what I'm gonna do with it
I'm unpredictable in my moves with the ball

When I got possession I'ma act a fool with it
I will play around and have fun with the ball when I have possession

I might cross you up fake one way
I might trick you into thinking I'm going one way when I'm really going another

Turn around and hit you with the MJ fade away
I'll execute an impressive jump shot move, like Michael Jordan's fadeaway

I'm throwing dime passes like J. Kidd
I'm making great, precise passes like Jason Kidd

Taking cats to the rack
I'm driving aggressively to the basketball hoop, ready to score

And I'm dunking on them like T. Mac
Like Tracy McGrady, I am skillfully dunking over my opponents

When I'm in the paint I play with that Alonzo style
When I'm close to the hoop, I use my Alonzo Mourning style to play

I'm like Darius 'cause I can shoot two miles
Like Darius Miles, I can shoot the ball from far away

Don't too many players get offers like me
Not many players receive the same attention and offers that I do

Back and forth, I'll likely shake the checks off your Nikes
I'll probably move so fast, I'll cause your checkered shoes to rattle and shake

They almost had me in a suit at the draft
I almost dressed up and attended the draft ceremony

'Cause it look like a free throw when I be shooting from half
My shooting skills are so precise that it looks like I am performing an easy free throw when shooting from mid-court

The first step like Iverson, blow past you
My quick first step is similar to Allen Iverson's, allowing me to blow past my opponents

Usually nothing but net, but I can go blast too
My shots usually go straight into the basket with ease, but I can also intentionally miss to achieve a different tactical result

When I'm in the paint the defense so shook
When I am close to the basketball hoop, the defense is intimidated and disoriented

They don't know if I'ma put up a slow hook, or dish off a no-look
The opposing team doesn't know if I'll hang onto the ball to perform a slow hook shot or quickly pass it without looking

To drive the lane would be dumb, though
It would be foolish to try and dribble down the lane

'Cause I send it back at you then give you the finger like Mutombo
If someone attempts to shoot down the lane, I'll block their shot and taunt them like Dikembe Mutombo

Shorty, over the summer, you might've boosted an inch
Hey girl, you might have grown a bit taller last summer

But as long as Fabolous is playing, get used to the bench
But as long as Fabolous is on the court, you'll just have to accept a spot on the bench

See my game consist of a whole lotta
My basketball style involves many different tactics

Moves you would think I learned from the Harlem Globetrotters
My basketball moves are so skillful, you might imagine I learned them from the talented Harlem Globetrotters

J.D. gon' lead us to a ring
Jermaine Dupri will lead our basketball team to a championship victory

Fab and Bow Wow the only players that make cheerleaders want to sing
Fab and Bow Wow are the only two players that make the cheerleaders so passionate they want to sing, dance, and cheer louder than usual

Now, now, now, now tell me were you in the joint
Hey, were you there in person

The night MJ scored sixty three points
When Michael Jordan famously scored 63 points in one game

When the Lakers won titles back-to-back
When the Lakers won two consecutive championship titles

Didn't give nobody, no kind of slack
They didn't go easy on the competition at all

When Vince Carter gave and stuck his arm in the rim
When Vince Carter famously dunked and his arm went through the basketball hoop

Everybody went crazy in the whole damn gym
People in the entire arena went wild with excitement

Dikembe Mutombo standing tall
Dikembe Mutombo was playing and was physically tall

Playing D with desire, it's basketball
He was playing great defense with passion, a true example of basketball

They're playing basketball (put it up, put it up, put it up now)
The basketball game is in progress

We love that basketball (put it up, put it up, put it up now)
We really love watching and playing basketball

They're playing basketball (yeah)
The game of basketball is happening right now

We love that basketball (uh huh, uh huh)
We truly adore the game of basketball

They're playing basketball (all around the world)
Basketball games are happening worldwide

We love that basketball (put it up, put it up, put it up now)
We cannot get enough of basketball
