Oh, Basketball (feat. Wax Mannequin)

If you live in an urban place

So dense, high pace

You might find comfort in a place

That’s called the paint

I’m not speaking of Monet

Meet me at the school lot

We’ll shoot the shit and take shots

I’ve got the gall, to heed the call

Of basketball

Have you seen the crowd on hockey night?

Same colour as the ice

But b-ball is a time when different groups

Share the same hoop

And the dream of alley-oops

No pads just socks and shoes

Not body checks just cool moves

Lend a haul, when someone falls

In basketball

When the Raptors made the playoffs

Pete was going through a break-up

You were there to catch his fall

Basketball

And when he saw Drizzy sittin’ courtside

Lint rollin’ with those sad eyes

He knew they both found comfort called

Basketball

Oh, basketball
