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!"

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!"

THIS IS MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM

MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM

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!"

THIS IS MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM

MY DREAM TEAM, MY DREAM TEAM

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!
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas!
Because I like to shoot hoops not brothas!
