Hooperz Dream

I had a dream that I taught her how to come down and lull a defender to sleep.
A way to take your man by lookin' at the position of their feet.
how to read your teammates and know when they needed, an wanted the ball.
how you could be the smallest on the team, and be the most feared of all.
 
How to accept defeat if you don't win, and to understand the refs are gonna miss some calls.
I had a dream that we worked on our player intros -
two back hand taps up high, two down low and then we strike a pose.
teachin' her to realize that sometimes you may be the co-star, but it can still be your show.
 
 
Candace Parker, Ivory Latta, Simone Augustus, Sheryl Swoopes, and Swin Cash posterz take up one side of the walls in her room.
Neva' forget you gotta shoot for the stars to walk on the moon.
 
I had a dream that in crunch time "KJ-22" would take command and get her team in place.
Somehow the game would run an flow at her steady controlled pace.
 
And when she shot the rim was ocean wide like her smile,
She was a point forward defining versatile, class an style.
 
 
When I go through the dream sometimes I try and grasp the thought of it all.
The visions of my "Mo-Mo" on the court, and that she would really wanna play ball.
A dream that we would share the same passion for the game I love an can't ever let go of..
How she would dedicate herself to defense an be called "Iso-Toner", cause she stix like "The Glove".
 
In this dream all the hard work, sweat and tears we put in would teach her the lessons needed in life as she goes through the fire.
Things that would be instilled inside - creating a neva say die dedicated passion desire.
 
When I woke, all I could do is shake my head, an simply laugh a little.
You see "KJ-22" could really care less about hoopin',
She just wants to watch her favorite guys "Hip Hop Harry", "The Doodlebops" and "The Wiggles"....
