When the school lets out and the shifts are done
Get the boys together get a ball get a run
Lace up the sneaks kick off them shoes
IÂ’ll admit I play to win yo cause I donÂ’t like to lose
At seger park theyÂ’ve got the best competition
Good moves baby - IÂ’m the definition

They shooting hoops
Yeah yeah yeah
They playing basketball

I learned at old pine, see IÂ’m the school yard hustler
I had my hardknocks now IÂ’m an off the backboard buster
I could fake to the left penetrate like mike
Or 360 in the air as dominique might
I could pass like magic
I could shoot like the bird, after a doctor j dunk
The courtside drunk said good lord

They shooting hoops
Yeah yeah yeah
They playing basketball

Lunch from a hot dog stand a pretzel and a pop
WeÂ’ve been playing all day cause weÂ’ve had this court non stop
The city sun is hot - all the courts they steaming
Bright eyed yong ball handlers are believing and dreaming
Hoping some day all this playing will be paying
ThatÂ’s what all the sideline junkies smoking reefer keep saying

They shooting hoops
Yeah yeah yeah
They playing basketball
