“Back in that old I.L. Field House…
If you ain’t hooped there in the 80s, you missed a whole era…
KC basketball… legends were born on that wood.”
VERSE 1 —
Back in the I.L. Field House, lights low but the dreams loud
KC raised me, scoreboard rattlin’, whole gym a wild crowd
(Ad-lib: Yeah!)
Anthony Peeler? One of the best to lace ’em up, facts
AP turned every court into highlight tracks
But we had ballers—too many stories to fit in one song
Round two coming… if I missed you, don’t trip, Blaq ain’t wrong
(Ad-lib: Hold up!)
Central, East, Lincoln, Paseo—every night a war
Westport, Southwest, Southeast—energy shaking the floor
Van Horn, Northeast—KC stacked with flame
Everybody had a killer with a jumper or game
Didn’t play with him or against him, but the legend still rings
Glen Jamison dunkin’ on everybody—man had wings
(Ad-lib: Boom!)
Barry Bailey, Will Scott—sweetest strokes in the city
With a three-point line? Forty a night—no pity
Paseo got Peeler but Rainey & them Lewis twins was cold
Southwest boys—T. Bone, Travis, Bruce & Nap—gold
But Marvin Fight? One of the best that KC ever seen
Running up and down that floor like a KC machine
(Ad-lib: Talk yo’ talk!)
Hook
Hoopin’ in the I.L.… back when every night was war
(BGV: I.L.… I.L.… gym roar)
Hoopin’ in the I.L.… KC heart forever more
(BGV: Forever… more…)
VERSE 2
Lincoln boys? They’d run you out the gym
Golston to Gant (Yo Nupe), Ben to Jolly—speed always grim
(Ad-lib: Too fast!)
Van Horn had them Chase brothers—pressure in stereo
Make a whole defense fold like a tear in the airflow
East had Dan Carson—smooth—Cheadle with the flair
They floated on the court like the floor wasn’t even there
(Ad-lib: Glide!)
Westport? William James—handles that bent time
James Wilborn—hops so crazy it didn’t make sense to climb
Northeast had John Wilson, Aaron Thompson—What up Cuz
KC always had somebody who was, not somebody who wasn’t
Walking bucket, defensive wall, mid-range king
Before mixtapes—your rep was everything
In the 80s? Ain’t no clout—your game was your permit
KC ballers built different, every night survival legit
Whole I.L. felt like finals
(Ad-lib: Every night!)
Hook B
Raised in the I.L.… where legends learned to rise
(BGV: Rise… rise…)
KC on my back… fire in my eyes
(BGV: Fire… in my eyes…)
VERSE 3
Now this the new beat—2025 KC hybrid glow
Modern bass, swinging drums—petty storyteller flow
Everybody claim they know KC hoops—nah, they don’t know
If you ain’t sweated in them halls, you ain’t part of that show
I was that skinny kid watching giants move like gods
Learning every hesitation, every crossover, every nod
Field House built me—broke me—rebuilt me—taught fight
KC pumping through my veins morning, noon, and night
Some games we lost, some games we won, but every night taught
Respect the court, respect the city, respect battles fought
Shoutout AP again—KC’s finest, that’s no debate
But KC deep—lose by fifty or win by eight
Every gym was a furnace—heat rising off the wood
KC basketball in the 80s… life never felt so good
(Ad-lib: Never!)
Final Hook
I.L. in my soul… KC raised this heart of mine
(BGV: Heart… of mine…)
I.L. in my soul… this city always gon’ shine
(BGV: Always… shine…)
EXTENDED OUTRO — SPOKEN
“To everybody from them I.L. days…
If you laced up in that gym…
If your heart pumped with that KC pride…
Just know Blaq remembers.
KC basketball made warriors…
KC basketball made men…
KC basketball made me.
Blaq Out.”
