The other day
5
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
14
I tuned in because I was hella psyched
15
To see Magic Johnson on the same team as Mike
16
Gettin crazy / Havin lots of fun
17
makin sure that they got the job done
18
Fans were wavin the red white end blue
19
It seemed strange to me / was it strange to you?
20
Brotha's on the street / And everyone is scared a ya
21
So how could ten Africans represent America?
22
Bullshit / It didn't mean a thing
23
'Cause in the same year / we saw Rodney King
24
So I thought / That I would put a team together
25
A team that I have been waitin for forever
26
Some a you / May know what I mean
27
But if you don't then / Lemme introduce you to...
28

Well Chuck D'sannouncin'/ Flava's doin' color
34
halftime enterntainment by Dre and Ed Lover
35
Malcolm X is the coach he's drawin' up the strategy
36
he's choppin up America's anatomy
37
'cause they're the ones/ we're up against of course
38
are general manager is Chief Crazy Horse
39
Huey Newton/ 'cause he was extra hard
40
he's the one/ who would be playin at the shootin' guard
41
I dreamed Charles Barkley would be
42
played by Marcus Garvey
43
he'd be throwin people off his back and makin
44
sure they never got a rebound rebound / and
45
he'd throw it to the outlet
46
Nat Turner/ 'cause he can turn the corner when
47
he's out there
48
he be flyin through the air/ throwin passes like
49
he really doesn't care/behind the back /and in
50
between the legs
51
he's handlin the rock /as gently as an egg
52
he's throwin it in/ to Angela Davis's neighborhood
53
she's postin up down in the extra hard wood
54
she grabs the pill/ and then she puts her shoulder down
55
get out the way/ 'cause she's gonna throw down now
56
boom /oh my god! I just can't believe it
57
get anotha backboard or bettah yet leave it.
58
we always play for fun /but we always play for keeps
59
the game is over and the loser's gotta sweep.
60
up the glass/ that we busted in the ass
61
Set the record straight /about America's past
62
THIS IS MY DREAM TEAM
63
"SPEARHEAD IN THE AREA!"
64
(chorus)
65
DREAM TEAM'S IN THE HOUSE
66
DREAM TEAM'S IN THE HOUSE
67
Well after doin that /we be headin for the ceremony
68
hand on the heart /is a bunch of baloney
69
the spirit of/ the '68 olympics
70
Black power people/ can I get a witness
71
fist in the air/ this is proper manners
72
while Jimi Hendrix/ is fuckin' up the spangled banner
73
up into the sky/ Miles Davis blows a horn
74
Look into the bleachers/ It's Bill Clinton sellin popcorn
75
so now we jump! and we have a celebration!
76
Shaquille 0'neal would provide the entertainment
77
to some of you this is a far fetched scheme
78
but to me... I'll tell you what it is...
79
This is my Dream Team...
80
"spearhead in the area"
