Jump around, grab a rebound and pump the sound
Big Ron, big man’s in town
Razzle, razzle, yo’, and I dazzle
Or should I say dunk, dunk like Jordan
I pump, pump, double pump, double platinum
And yo’, I’m takin’ em to the roof until it’s time for me to go
So I suggest you sit back and check my flow, yo’
Give it up, pass it up, I’m ‘bout to score a 3 point play
Can’t you hear the crown, boy
It’s over, it’s over, time’s up and yo’ I’m outtie
Packed up, macked up, got my ghetto booty
And swung with the swingers on the basketball court
The fellas like the hoochies in the tight booty shorts
Take no shorts to amaze the bassline
B.B.D.’s droppin’ hits and funky rhymes

They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim
They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim

They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim

I got my balls in my nets, from flipside sweats
(breakdown, breakdown) Yes, the defense gets
The B-I-V gonna squish the past way
Hoops and flips, money grips of the fast way
Trick-tricky, brothers can’t stick me
They’ll beat you on the Broad if you try to get with me
I tips with the C-note, the visitor got Troops
And reps from the honeys, at the game I knock boots
So keep your eyes glued to the kid with Spaulding
Years later, yes, the bath water’s callin’
Smooth the moves, you’ll lose, so who’s next
No lay up, so pay up, your man lost his bets
Bell Biv DeVoe comin’ strong in your projects
Straight from OP to 40, to hootie
I pump the ball like the booty
So peace and I trip to Tim Hardaway

They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim
They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim

They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim
They be buttin’ in their car, they be buttin’ their jeeps
Above the rim, above the rim

Yeah, my big man slaps the glass
I run the point, I wax your a**
Above the rum
B.B.D. funky

You can’t hang, but live a life above the rim
You can’t hang, but live a life above the rim
You can’t hang, you can’t hang
Above the rim, above the rim

You can’t hang, but live a life above the rim
You can’t hang, but live a life above the rim
You can’t hang, you can’t hang
Livin’ life above the rim, yeah

Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim

Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim
Above the rim, above the rim
