   NOW WE’RE SKYIN’, WE AIN’T MESSIN’, WE AIN’T LYIN’,
   PORTLAND’S WINNIN’ SO STOP YOUR CRYIN’.

   (CHORUS)

   BIG PRESS FULL COURT, FOUL SHOT FALLS SHORT,
   TIP IN, IT’S GOOD, LEATHER BALL, HARD WOOD
   STEAL IT, SCORE IT, LICKETY BRINDLE,
   THAT’S WHAT WE CALL SWISH AND SWINDLE.

   DRIVE, STOP, PUMP, SHOOT, LISTEN TO THE HORN TOON,
   BACKBOARD SNAP BACK, BE BLAZERMANIAC,
   REF IS RUNNIN’, BLOWING HIS WHISTLE,
   YA BETTER HANG ON, ‘CAUSE WE’RE FLYIN’ LIKE A MISSLE.

   PORTLAND’S JAMMIN’, DRIVIN’, SLAMMIN’,
   OTHER TEAMS ARE FAKIN’, OTHER TEAMS ARE SCAMMIN’,
   LAY UP’S NICE, BUT WHY NOT CRAM ‘EM,
   BLAZERS DON’T JUST WIN, THEY SLAM ‘EM.

   (CHORUS)

   LOOSE BALL, MAD DASH, INTO THE FANS CRASH,
   JUMPBALL HALF COURT, ROUNDBALL’S A HOT SPORT,
   DEEP FROM THE BASELINE, BALL IN FLIGHT,
   CHALK IT UP TWO, RED, BLACK AND WHITE.

   LISTEN TO THE FLOOR SQUEAK, PORTLAND ON A HOT STREAK,
   POWER PLAY, HOOK SHOT, PARTY IN THE PARKING LOT,
   RIMS ARE BREAKIN’, BACKBOARDS FALLIN’,
   CAUSE WE’RE BLAZER BASKETBALLIN’.

   PORTLAND’S CRUISIN’, BUSTIN’, BRUISIN’,
   NO MORE SLEEPIN’, NO MORE SNOOZIN’,
   I DON’T CARE WHAT ‘D’ YOU’RE USIN’,
   PORTLAND’S GONNA LEAVE YOU LOSIN’.

   (CHORUS)

   LACIN’ UP A HIGH TOP, GONNA MAKE A BIG STOP,
   PICK ‘EM OFF, PUT IT IN, THEN YOU STEAL IT BACK AGAIN,
   EVERYBODY STOMPIN’, FEET AND HANDS,
   AND YA GOTTA GIVE IT UP FOR THE PORTLAND FANS,

   MOVIN’ ON A DRIBBLE DRIVE, SLAPPIN’ UP A HIGH FIVE,
   AT THE BUZZER IN FOR THREE, WE WANT A VICTORY,
   LIGHT THE BLAZE AND LET THE SCORE GET HIGHER,
   BUT YA BETTER CALL THE COPS ‘CAUSE THE HOOP’S ON FIRE.

   HUSTLE, SWAT IT, NOW WE GOT IT,
   BLAZER FEVER, HOPE YOU CAUGHT IT,
   TRUE BELIEVERS EVERY MINUTE,
   YA KNOW WE WANT IT, COME ON WIN IT!

   (CHORUS)

2. Bust A Bucket

   Listen everybody to my Blazer rhyme ’bout one night when I shot to the big time
   Coliseum friday night

   Sittin’ up front where the lights are bright two hot seats oh yeah fantastic. Me and Jason right by the basket blazer dancers b**pin thumpin

   big shot block Buck Williams b**pin’

   slapped so hard that ball was flyin’

   right in my face man i ain’t lyin’

   tried to duck but the ball done decked me

   knocked me cold disconnect me

   next thing I know I’m in a blazer jersey

   coach says hey you’re goin’ in for Kersey

   I said yeah right man check you out

   then he got in my face and began to shout

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   (Oh… this is gonna be harder than I thought

   How you spellin that?

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Yeah, right, whatever…. back to my story)

   Bust a bucket, toss a pass? You’re talking to a fan who flunked gym class

   but there I was just the same

   playin’ throwin’ findin fame

   dip to the west scoop to the drop

   Porter says “Juke man, don’t pass off”

   half time bath time rest my bod have a little chat with Ahmad Rashad

   I feel pretty good man that’s the truth I’ll tell you more later when I stop by the booth

   it was rip city showtime fully fantastic positively Portland slam bombastic

   crowd was stompin’ then they screamed “MAKE HIM CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM”

   but that one thing coach said kept me guessin’

   whats that word man now im stressin’

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   (Hmm… I got the good part, kick it a couple times and let me think about it)

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   life was cool in the nba

   surfer’s hours bankers pay

   half-court hook shot in it soared

   but the ref said said sorry son you didn’t call backboard

   pick up the phone Bob Costas ringin
   next thing I know man Kersey’s singin

   ooh baby you got the touch take it easy man you’re workin’ too much

   Future’s big, coach just said, just lets fix that b**p on your head

   I was gonna join in and sing some bass when a Duckworth pass hit me right in the face

   knocked me right up off my feet right back to my front row seat

   woke up dizzy head just screamin’ whats that word I musta been dreamin

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Now I get it!

   Next time I’m wearing a helmet

   Bagga lagga loopa loopa dinga linga s***** booty rooty ready booty ready yabba yabba doo doo

   Alright now you’re messing with me, feed me, feed me seymore.

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Bust a bucket, bust bust a bucket

   Everybody sing along, it’s not to hard, you can do it, I know you can

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Bust a bucket, bust bust a bucket

   Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!

   Bust a bucket, bust bust a bucket
