Red black green red gold green
Datand'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 and'lympics
Players from the east/ players from the west
And you can bet that they took the very best
(andquot;except they left tim hardaway at homeandquot;
andquot;yeah that was hella fucked up!andquot;)
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?
Brothaand's on the street / and everyone is scared a ya
So how could ten africans represent america?
Bullshit / it didnand't mean a thing
and'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 donand't then / lemme introduce you to...
My dream team!
andquot;spearhead in the area!andquot;
(chorus)
This is my dream team, my dream team
My dream team, my dream team
Well chuck dand'sannouncinand'/ flavaand's doinand' color
Halftime enterntainment by dre and ed lover
Malcolm x is the coach heand's drawinand' up the strategy
Heand's choppin up americaand's anatomy
and'cause theyand're the ones/ weand're up against of course
Are general manager is chief crazy horse
Huey newton/ and'cause he was extra hard
Heand's the one/ who would be playin at the shootinand' guard
I dreamed charles barkley would be
Played by marcus garvey
Heand'd be throwin people off his back and makin
Sure they never got a rebound rebound / and
Heand'd throw it to the outlet
Nat turner/ and'cause he can turn the corner when
Heand's out there
He be flyin through the air/ throwin passes like
He really doesnand't care/behind the back /and in
Between the legs
Heand's handlin the rock /as gently as an egg
Heand's throwin it in/ to angela davisand's neighborhood
Sheand's postin up down in the extra hard wood
She grabs the pill/ and then she puts her shoulder down
Get out the way/ and'cause sheand's gonna throw down now
Boom /oh my god! i just canand'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 loserand's gotta sweep.
Up the glass/ that we busted in the ass
Set the record straight /about americaand's past
This is my dream team
andquot;spearhead in the area!andquot;
(chorus)
Dream teamand's in the house
Dream teamand'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 and'68 olympics
Black power people/ can i get a witness
Fist in the air/ this is proper manners
While jimi hendrix/ is fuckinand' up the spangled banner
Up into the sky/ miles davis blows a horn
Look into the bleachers/ itand's bill clinton sellin popcorn
So now we jump! and we have a celebration!
Shaquille 0and'neal would provide the entertainment
To some of you this is a far fetched scheme
But to me... iand'll tell you what it is...
This is my dream team...
andquot;spearhead in the areaandquot;
(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!
