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!"

 (chorus)
 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!"

 (chorus)
 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"

 (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
