Fouled in the Act

I've been outscored 9-0
to start the quarter
but I'm going to rally, yo

dribble-drive the floor,
penetration galore,
elevation and
SLAMMM
DUNK!

Ain't no need to fake the funk.

Hoops like love
a game of runs;

9-0 to start the period;

17-2 in response;

and we're tied at the half, yo.

Hoops like love:
power jams and
power plays
lovin's great but
will we stray?

I've gotta make a 10-0 run
or the game
like us
is lost

Game's in the refrigerator
the door is closed
the light's out
the Jell-O's a-jiggling &
the butter's getting hard

no fun.
