MISTER BIRD- 
NO HALFTIME

(HOOK)
My life is like a game of basketball in my mind.
And similar to free-throws, a lot is on the line.
Everyday I make plays, but I don't play with mine.
And I don't need a break, no timeout, no halftime
(VERSE 1)
If I die, I'll die doin' what I love like Pistol Pete
Alley-oopin' mixtapes, And1s on my feet.
Basketballin' instrumentals as I dribble a beat.
Organizin' techniques, even the streets call 'em neat.
I'm unique when I speak, callin' plays like I'm coachin'.
Even if they guard me, I take shots like I'm wide open.
Without crossin' over, I still leave ankles broken.
Lyrical globetrotter, I got places that I'm goin'.
I'm closin' in on goals in my life that I've set.
Ain't on my back bored, I work shootin' nothin' but net.
Didn't even take time out when I was under arrest.
I guard all that's against me, runnin' full court press
On laziness and stress. Never practicin' bad habits.
I compete with myself, it's like I'm Bird and I'm Magic.
Still off the glass I pass it to myself as I T-mac it.
But I can make my point without puttin' ball in a basket.

My life is like a game of basketball in my mind.

(VERSE 2)
Let's hustle like Russell Westbrook does on the court.
And triple or double the effort that we put forth.
Let's get paid like they should to play college sports.
And be about our business like Mark Cuban, of course.
Let's break more and more records like Lebron's stats.
And like he does to communities, let's give back.
But if we get fouled, attacked, or even hacked,
Let's keep our sense of humor like Charles Barkley or Shaq.
I'm puttin' teams on maps like Jordan did Bobcats.
And if the city asks, I'm bringin' old names back.
Like Steve Francis' raps, some haven't heard my tracks.
But if he hollas at me, I'll get him a contract.
I coach like Jerry Stackhouse did Pippen's son.
And if things get hard, I ain't like Harden. I don't run.
I'm jokin', I'm mo' fun than the Rockets' mascot.
And I'm clutch if it comes down to the last shot.
