Dream Team

Red Black Green, Red Gold Green Dat's how we know we a fe we dream team (Repeat) The other day A friend gave me a call He said that the dream team was playin basketball Was so excited / That I hadda get a Witness The first time the NBA was in the 'lympics Players from the east/ players from the west And you can bet that they took the very best ("Except they left Tim Hardaway at home" "Yeah that was hella fucked up!") But Anyway I tuned in because I was hella psyched To see Magic Johnson on the same team as Mike Gettin crazy / Havin lots of fun Makin sure that they got the job done Fans were wavin the red white end blue It seemed strange to me / was it strange to you? Brotha's on the street / And everyone is scared a ya So how could ten Africans represent America? Bullshit / It didn't mean a thing 'Cause in the same year / we saw Rodney King So I thought / That I would put a team together A team that I have been waitin for forever Some a you / May know what I mean But if you don't then / Lemme introduce you to... MY DREAM TEAM! "SPEARHEAD IN THE AREA!" (Chorus) THIS IS MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM Well Chuck D'sannouncin'/ Flava's doin' color Halftime enterntainment by Dre and Ed Lover Malcolm X is the coach he's drawin' up the strategy He's choppin up America's anatomy 'Cause they're the ones/ we're up against of course Are general manager is Chief Crazy Horse Huey Newton/ 'cause he was extra hard He's the one/ who would be playin at the shootin' guard I dreamed Charles Barkley would be Played by Marcus Garvey He'd be throwin people off his back and makin Sure they never got a rebound rebound / and He'd throw it to the outlet Nat Turner/ 'cause he can turn the corner when He's out there He be flyin through the air/ throwin passes like He really doesn't care/behind the back /and in Between the legs He's handlin the rock /as gently as an egg He's throwin it in/ to Angela Davis's neighborhood She's postin up down in the extra hard wood She grabs the pill/ and then she puts her shoulder down Get out the way/ 'cause she's gonna throw down now Boom /oh my god! I just can't believe it Get anotha backboard or bettah yet leave it. We always play for fun /but we always play for keeps The game is over and the loser's gotta sweep. Up the glass/ that we busted in the ass Set the record straight /about America's past THIS IS MY DREAM TEAM "SPEARHEAD IN THE AREA!" (Chorus) DREAM TEAM'S IN THE HOUSE DREAM TEAM'S IN THE HOUSE Well after doin that /we be headin for the ceremony Hand on the heart /is a bunch of baloney The spirit of/ the '68 olympics Black power people/ can I get a witness Fist in the air/ this is proper manners While Jimi Hendrix/ is fuckin' up the spangled banner Up into the sky/ Miles Davis blows a horn Look into the bleachers/ It's Bill Clinton sellin popcorn So now we jump! and we have a celebration! Shaquille 0'neal would provide the entertainment To some of you this is a far fetched scheme But to me... I'll tell you what it is... This is my Dream Team... "Spearhead in the area" (Chorus) Yeah Sista Rosa Perks she gets the first seat On the bench! And Dr. King, webring him in in a pinch. Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas! Beceuse I like to shoot hoops not brothas! Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas! Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas!
