Holding Court
pivot sweat
pick set
on blacktop plateau
no script give
and go
run 'em back
a mid-summer's pickup
play stretched out
laced up
one-on-one
win by two
run 'em back
bound to the key
turn to the wing
swing bottom block
drop step
head fake
who's got next?
run 'em back
who's got game?
baggy swagger
trash trap
crossover kids
weigh net worth
by the bucket
can't buy a bucket
run 'em back
take no offense
no ref reference
just rep on
the foul line
bend 'n' box
out of bounds
check it
stutter step
brick lay
up float or funk
sink to sunk
that's game.
run 'em back
