Watch the Clock

At the jump ball, get crunk dawg, but make sure you watch the clock
Know when to go for it all, or stop and pause, just make sure you watch the clock
Take it hard to the hole, play d and run the O
Just keep an eye on the clock and play hard fa sho
Handle tight with the rock, got dimes to drop and shots to stop and pop
Be good with the time management
Ball early and often you got time so manage it
Don’t wait and get stuck in the same stance or in the same glance cause TO’s will damage it
Stuck in the same trance, don’t give em the same chance to dance and hit
It’s your game demand it quick, take what they give you but be a man with it
Even when they double team, use the other seem to find the open man
You got to trust your team, don’t rush your dreams but keep in mind the open slam
Do it the first time like it’s your last time
The middle game might not be a simple plain just do it right the first and last 5
Like its your first and last crime, constant with your first and last line
Make sure you win the game and don’t let it win you
And watch the clock and don’t let it watch you
