Verse 1
Em
I say
D
my prayers every morning just like orange juice
I crack the crinkles out my
body till I'm feeling loose
Em
I strap my sneakers on my feet
D
like they was combat boots
they fit my feet like Cinderella
when I'm shooting hoops
Em
D
Why oh why do memories
G
keep chasing me
D
sometimes it makes me want
to grab my shit and flee
Em
sometimes I want to blow my brains
D
to put my life at ease
but I ain't clocking out I gotta
see the seven seas
Em
please seven's a very lucky
D
G
number for me
D
that was the age when I discovered
Em
how good balling could be
up every morning with the birdies
D
doing little drills
go to my left go to my right
Em
developing mad skills
D
how could a love for this game bring
so much sadness
I played with brothas with so
Em
much bad ness
but now they gone I sing
D
a song pop a three

Em
(Chorus)
D
Why oh Why do memories

the basketball court singing

D
Why oh Why do memories

Do you remember runnin'
D
G
the court in September
D
me and my homies be down for
Em
whoever
would come along and try to
D
send us to the showers
from the game that we'd been
dominating' there for hours
Em
all day to be more spe
D
cific east to west
Em
from Atlantic to Pacific fools
would come round
D
to get down and try to take our crown
but we would hold our ground and we
F#
Em
would never back down
old timers new timers would get
in line there
and take a seat there and try to prepare
but oh no! there was no chance
Bm
when we was in the zone
Em
D
we was alone at the top we had
Em
hops we got props
and when we needed to
D
we busted chops
wipe the court with your game
A
like we was using mops
Em
what ever happened to the super
D
hoopers in the park

Verse 4
Em
(Chorus)
D
Brother see came fresh from out of town
and he had handles and like McDonald's
A
he could clown ya
Em
dribbling baby bounces between
D
drinking forty ounces
knock ya on your heels and do
circles like he was Curly Neal
Em
but oh no, the liquor got quick
D
er to his head and he said
"I think I musta placed
some stupid bets"
Em
he hit me up for some cash
D
there was a car crash a splash and then
the brother made a mad dash
Em
Rob oh Rob his whole life
D
was like a roller coaster
but on the court he looked
A
Em
like a Dr. J poster
flying high with an Afro
D
blowing in the wind
G
D
F#
wiping Windex, index finger
Em
rolls off the glass
D
then swish through the net jump
a Corvette with a triple pirouette
Em
but off the court he had a few
D
temptations copulations
Bb
Em

D
had 3 pregnations
last check crack intoxications
Em
so many other brothers gone
D
from this di mension
and none of those who got
hurt receive a pension
Em
give a Bup! Bup! to those
D
locked up in de tention
G
