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

Verse 2
they memory
(E minor) (Chorus)
Why oh Why do memor (D major) ies
be chasing me
sometimes it makes (F sharp major) me want
to grab my shit and flee
(E minor) even in seasons when it's
another color (D major) sport
I still be memorizing lines out on
(F sharp major) the basketball court singing
(E minor) Why oh Why do memor (D major) ies
be chasing me
sometimes it makes me (F sharp major) want
to grab my shit and flee
(E minor) even in seasons when it's another
color (D major) sport
I be remembering my partners
on the (F sharp major) basketball court
Verse 3
Do you (E minor) remember runnin'
the (D major) court in Septem (G major) ber
(D major) me and my homies be down for
whoever (E minor)
would come along and try to
(D major) send us to the showers
from the game that we'd been
dominating' there for hours
(E minor) all day to be more spe
(D major) cific east to west
from Atlantic to Pacific (E minor) fools
would come round
to get down and try to (D major) take our crown
but we would hold our ground and we
would never (F sharp major) back down (E minor)
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
when we (B minor) was in the zone
(E minor) we was alone (D major) at the top we had
(E minor) hops we got props
and when we needed to
we (D major) busted chops
wipe the court with your game
like we (A major) was using mops
(E minor) what ever happened to the super
hooper (D major) s in the park

Verse 4
(E minor) (Chorus)
Brother see came fresh from out of (D major) town
and he had handles and like McDonald's
he could (A major) clown ya
(E minor) dribbling baby bounces between
drinking forty (D major) ounces
knock ya on your heels and do
circles like he was Curly Neal
but (E minor) oh no, the liquor got quick
(D major) er to his head and he said
"I think I musta placed
some stupid bets"
(E minor) he hit me up for some cash
there was a (D major) car crash a splash and then
the brother made a mad dash
(E minor) Rob oh Rob his whole life
was like a (D major) roller coaster
but on the court he looked
like a Dr. (A major) J poster (E minor)
flying high with an Afro
(D major) blowing in the wind
wiping (G major) Windex, index (D major) (F sharp major) finger
rolls (E minor) off the glass
then swish through (D major) the net jump
a Corvette with a triple pirouette
(E minor) but off the court he had a few
tempta (D major) tions copulations
no mod (B flat major) erations (E minor) by 24 he
had (D major) 3 pregnations
last check crack intoxications
(E minor) so many other brothers gone
from this (D major) di mension
and none of those who got
hurt receive a pension
(E minor) give a Bup! Bup! to those
locked up in (D major) de tention
(G major) memor (B minor) ies (D major) too many
dimension (E minor)
and we say,
one more time... (D major) one more time
