1 (Transit): In 1995 I was 6 years alive When my Dad told me the news I got a sparkle in my eyes I remember it, yea It wasn't just any day When I found out Vancouver joined the NBA It was a big deal for Canada With thumb tacks & tape I put the banner up I dreamt of the jump shot while they dreamt of the gum drops Slam ball on the trampoline while others did the bum drops I loved watching the Grizzlies do their thing It was a new regime when we got Abdur-Rahim But the season got locked out in '98 & When they came back Big Country gained a lot of weight They never won every season was tragic But in '99 man we got the second draft pick So maybe things, were looking up after all & We could be more than the laughing stock of basketball In my room (Kyprios) In my room I sat & wondered (Kyprios) I sat & wondered Where could my baby be? (Kyprios) My baby left me, she went to Memphis 2 (Kyprios): The gave me the rock it's like the same day they took it away Vancity, when the team came, embarassed our name Apparently blame, the errors that came Started with a white boy, drafted, with no game Who needed rogaine, footwork & had a fear of traffic They drafted him for marketting & demographics They coulda had Ratliff with that draft pick They chose Big Country & we got our ass kicked As if, Heisley ever gonna, Leave the team in the town of Marijuana Now them was goners Memphis go to work boys! The jerseys sucked, but still I rocked the turquoise It was the politics that got us after all & They tease us like a new team is coming back to y'all I'm mad they had to fall, Francis w/ the casket call Love my city, but man I miss the basketball In my room (Kyprios) In my room I sat & wondered (Kyprios) I sat & wondered Where could my baby be? (Kyprios) My baby left me, she went to Memphis 3 (Transit): People ask me: "So do you cheer for Memphis?" That's like cheering when dudes french-kiss your exes That's like cheering for Lex Luther or dem looters After the Stanley Cup giving a bad name to Vancouver I'd love to sit with David Stern & maybe have a word Bout how he let the team leave how could he have the nerve To move the team pre-mature & give Shareef the word To load the plane next to Dickerson & Tony Massenburg & To be super honest, they even moved the Super-Sonics So being a fan in Western Canada is super awkward I mean we still have Steve Nash But all I really want is for them to bring my team back & Nowadays, the dollar is stronger So if they moved em back we'd get some stars on the roster Mr. David Stern, bad move Sir, signed sincerely The fans of Vancouver
