Transit22 - The Grizz lyrics

Artist: Transit22

album: The Grizz


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
