Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They're playing basketball (Uh, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Uh huh, uh, to the beat y'all)

They're playing basketball (Let's go, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Y'all know, this is So So Def)

They're playing basketball (Uh huh, uh, to the beat y'all)

We love that basketball (Yeah)

They're playing basketball (Uh huh, uh huh)

We love that basketball (Yeah, uh huh)

[Verse 2]

Now basketball is my favorite sport (Uh huh)

I like the way they dribble up and down the court (Come on)

I keep it so fresh on the microphone

I like no interruptions when the game is on (Game is on)

I like slam dunk to take me to the hoop (Yeah)

My favorite play is the alley-oop (Uh huh)

I like the pick-and-roll (Go)

I like the give-and-go (Go)

In this basketball, Bow Wow, let's go

[Verse 3]

They're playing basketball (Uh huh, uh, uh, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Yeah, to the beat y'all)

They're playing basketball (Uh huh, uh huh)

We love that basketball (Yeah, yeah, what's up?)

[Verse 4]

I got the rock in my hands

Ain't no telling what I'm gonna do with it

When I got position I'ma act a fool with it (Okay, go ahead)

I might cross you up and fake one way

Turn around and hit you with you with the M.J. fadeaway (Woo)

I'm throwing dime passes like J. Kidd

Taking cats to the rack (Uh huh)

And I'm dunking on them like T. Mac (Uh, uh)

When I'm in the paint, I play with that Alonzo style (Uh)

I'm like Darius 'cause I can shoot two miles

[Verse 5]

Don't too many players get offers like me (Yeah, uh uh)

Back and forth, I'll likely

Shake the checks off your Nikes (Ooh, okay)

They almost had me in a suit at the draft

'Cause it look like a free throw when I be shooting from half

The first step like Iverson, blow past you (Oh)

Usually nothing but net, but I can go glass too (Woo, huh)

When I'm in the paint the defense so shook

They dont know if I'ma put up a slow hook or dish off a no-look (Yeah)

To drive the lane would be dumb, though

'Cause I send it back at you then give you the finger like Mutumbo (Get that outta here)

Shorty, over the summer, you might've boosted an inch

But as long as Fabolous is playing, get used to the bench

And ee my game consist of a whole lotta

Moves you would think I learned from the Harlem Globetrotters (Whole lotta, ha ha)

J.D. gon' lead us to a ring

Fab and Bow Wow the only players that make cheerleaders wanna sing

[Verse 6]

They're playing basketball

(Uh, yeah, put it up, put it up, put it up, put it up now)

We love that basketball

(Put it up, put it up, put it up now, put it up, put it up, put it up now)

They're playing basketball (Uh, yeah, uh huh, yeah)

We love that basketball (Uh huh, uh huh, uh, now, now, now, now)

[Verse 7]

Now tell me were you in the joint?

The night MJ scored 63 points

When the Lakers won titles back to back (Yeah)

Didn't give nobody, no kind of slack

When Vince Carter came, stuck his arm in the rim

Everybody went crazy in the whole damn gym (Haha)

Dikembe Mutombo standing tall

Playing D with desire, it's basketball, sing

[Verse 8]

They're playing basketball (Uh huh, uh, uh, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Uh, put it up, put it up)

They're playing basketball (Put it up now, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Put it up, put it up)

They're playing basketball (Put it up now, all around the world)

We love that basketball (Put it up, put it up)

They're playing basketball (Put it up now)

We love that basketball
