The other day a friend gave me a call
6
He said that the dream team was playin' basketball
7
Was so excited that I hadda get a witness
8
The first time the NBA was in the 'lympics
9
Players from the east, players from the west
10
And you can bet that they took the very best
11
(Except they left Tim Hardaway at home)
12
(Yeah, that was hella fucked up)
13
But anyway I tuned in because I was hella psyched
14
To see Magic Johnson on the same team as Mike
15
Gettin crazy, havin' lots of fun
16
Makin' sure that they got the job done
17
Fans were wavin' the red, white and blue
18
It seemed strange to me, was it strange to you?
19
Brotha's on the street and everyone is scared a ya
20
So how could ten Africans represent America?
21
Bullshit, it didn't mean a thing
22
'Cause in the same year we saw Rodney King
23
So I thought that I would put a team together
24
A team that I have been waitin' for forever
25
Some a you may know what I mean
26
But if you don't then lemme introduce you to
27
My Dream team
28
Spearhead in the area
29
This is my dream team, my dream team
30
My dream team, my dream team
31
Well, Chuck D's announcin', flava's doin' color
32
Halftime enterntainment by Dre and Ed Lover
33
Malcolm X is the coach, he's drawin' up the strategy
34
He's choppin' up America's anatomy
35
'Cause they're the ones we're up against of course
36
Oue general manager is Chief Crazy Horse
37
Huey Newton 'cause he was extra hard
38
He's the one who would be playin' at the shootin' guard
39
I dreamed Charles Barkley would be
40
Played by Marcus Garvey
41
He'd be throwin' people off his back and makin'
42
Sure they never got a rebound, rebound
43
And he'd throw it to the outlet
44
Nat Turner 'cause he can turn the corner when he's out there
45
He be flyin' through the air
46
Throwin' passes like he really doesn't care
47
Behind the back and in between the legs
48
He's handlin the rock as gently as an egg
49
He's throwin' it in to Angela Davis's neighborhood
50
She's postin' up down in the extra hard wood
51
She grabs the pill and then she puts her shoulder down
52
Get out the way 'cause she's gonna throw down now
53
Boom, oh, my God, I just can't believe it
54
Get anotha backboard or bettah yet leave it
55
We always play for fun but we always play for keeps
56
The game is over and the loser's gotta sweep
57
Up the glass that we busted in the ass
58
Set the record straight about America's past
59
This is my Dream team
60
Spearhead in the area
61
Dream Team's in the house
62
Dream Team's in the house
63
Well, after doin' that we be headin' for the ceremony
64
Hand on the heart is a bunch of baloney
65
The spirit of the '68 Olympics
66
Black power people, can I get a witness?
67
Fist in the air this is proper manners
68
While Jimi Hendrix is fuckin' up the spangled banner
69
Up into the sky Miles Davis blows a horn
70
Look into the bleachers, it's Bill Clinton sellin' popcorn
71
So now, we jump and we have a celebration
72
Shaquille 0'Neal would provide the entertainment
73
To some of you this is a far fetched scheme
74
But to me, I'll tell you what it is
75
This is my Dream team
76
Spearhead in the area
77
This is my dream team, my dream team
78
My dream team, my dream team
79
Yeah, Sista Rosa Perks she gets the first seat on the bench
80
And Dr. King, we bring him in in a pinch
81
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas
82
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas
83
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas
84
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas
