《Why Oh Why》歌词

[00:00:00] Why Oh Why - Michael Franti & Spearhead

[00:00:23] I say my prayers every morning just like orange juice

[00:00:26] I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm feeling loose

[00:00:29] I strap my sneakers on my feet like they was combat boots

[00:00:32] They fit my feet like Cinderella when I'm shooting hoops

[00:00:34] Why oh why do memories keep chasing me

[00:00:37] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:00:40] Sometimes I wanna blow my brains to put my life at ease

[00:00:43] But I ain't clocking out I gotta see the seven seas

[00:00:45] Please seven's a very lucky number for me

[00:00:48] That was the age when I discovered how good balling could be

[00:00:51] Up every morning with the birdies doing little drills

[00:00:53] Go to my left go to my right developing mad skills

[00:00:57] How could a love for this game bring so much sadness

[00:01:00] I played with brothas with so much badness

[00:01:02] But now they gone I sing a song pop a three

[00:01:05] From the top of the key in they memory

[00:01:07] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:01:10] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:01:12] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:01:14] I still be memorizing lines out on the basketball court singing

[00:01:18] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:01:21] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:01:23] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:01:25] I be remembering my partners on the basketball court

[00:01:28] Do you remember runnin' the court in September

[00:01:32] Me and my homies be down for whoever

[00:01:35] Would come along and try to send us to the showers

[00:01:37] From the game that we'd been dominating' there for hours

[00:01:40] All day to be more specific east to west

[00:01:43] From Atlantic to Pacific fools would come round

[00:01:46] To get down and try to take our crown

[00:01:48] But we would hold our ground and we would never back down

[00:01:50] Old timers new timers would get in line there

[00:01:54] And take a seat there and try to prepare

[00:01:56] But oh no

[00:01:57] There was no chance when we was in the zone

[00:01:59] We was alone at the top we had hops we got props

[00:02:02] And when we needed to we busted chops

[00:02:04] Wipe the court with your game like we was using mops

[00:02:07] What ever happened to the super hoopers in the park

[00:02:10] I reminisce while shootin' solitary after dark

[00:02:12] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:02:15] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:02:18] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:02:20] I still be memorizing lines out on the basketball court singing

[00:02:23] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:02:26] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:02:29] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:02:31] I be remembering my partners on the basketball court

[00:02:35] Why oh why

[00:02:39] Why oh why

[00:02:45] Brother C came fresh from out of town

[00:02:47] And he had handles

[00:02:49] And like McDonald's he could clown ya

[00:02:50] Dribbling baby bounces between drinking forty ounces

[00:02:53] Knock ya on your heels

[00:02:54] And do circles like he was Curly Neal

[00:02:56] But oh no

[00:02:57] The liquor got quicker to his head and he said

[00:02:59] I think I musta placed some stupid bets

[00:03:02] He hit me up for some cash

[00:03:03] There was a car crash a splash

[00:03:05] And then the brother made a mad dash

[00:03:07] Rob oh Rob his whole life was like a roller coaster

[00:03:10] But on the court he looked like a Dr J poster

[00:03:12] Flying high with an Afro blowing in the wind

[00:03:15] Wiping Windex index finger rolls off the glass

[00:03:19] Then swish through the net jump a Corvette with a triple pirouette

[00:03:23] But off the court he had a few temptations copulations

[00:03:27] No moderations by 24 he had 3 pregnations

[00:03:32] Last check crack intoxications

[00:03:34] So many other brothers gone from this dimension

[00:03:37] And none of those who got hurt receive a pension

[00:03:40] Give a Bup Bup to those locked up in detention

[00:03:42] Memories too many dimension

[00:03:46] And we say one more time one more time

[00:03:50] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:03:54] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:03:56] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:03:58] I still be memorizing lines out on the basketball court singing

[00:04:01] Why oh why do memories be chasing me

[00:04:05] Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my sh*t and flee

[00:04:07] Even in seasons when it's another color sport

[00:04:09] I be remembering my partners on the basketball court
