[Verse 1: GOOSE]
PHIL WAS NICE
WITH THE ROCK
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK
SO THEY PUT HIM ON THE
VARSITY TEAM AT FIFTEEN
AND THAT'S A DREAM
FOR THIS YOUNG CHILD
LIVING IN THE SLUM WHILE
TRYING TO KEEP HIS
RECRUITMENT LETTERS
SORTED IN ONE PILE
SCHOOLS JOCKING
MAD COACHES KNOCKING
ON HIS DOOR
THE ONLY FRESHMAN
ON THE FLOOR
WILL SCORE FORTY FOUR
HIS HANDLE WAS RAW
THE BEST THEY EVER SAW
BUT WAIT A MINUTE JOE COLLEGE
DON'T FORGET
HE'S GOT THREE MORE
SUMMERS ON THE PAVEMENT
THROUGH CULTURAL ENSLAVEMENT
COACH SAID HE'D PAY RENT
IF HE WOULDN'T DROP OUT
HE DOESN'T WANT TO COP OUT
BUT MOMS THREW HIS POP OUT
WITH NO RENT THERE'S NO HOME
HE HAD TO TAKE THE LOAN
HE NEVER WENT TO CLASS
BUT THE TEACHERS LET HIM PASS
GAMES WERE SOLD OUT ALL SEASON
SO THE SCHOOL WAS MAKING CASH
OFF A HUNGRY YOUNG
PLAYER FROM THE STREETS
WHO DIDN'T HAVE
A NICKEL TO HIS NAME
BUT THEY CHARGING
TEN DOLLARS FOR THE SEATS
[Hook: GOOSE]
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK YO
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
AT FIFTEEN
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
[Verse 2: GOOSE]
HERE'S SENIOR YEAR
AND AFTER ALL THE SMOKE'S CLEAR
HE'S GOT 57 OFFERS
FROM DIVISION 1 SCHOOLS
NEVER LEARNED TO READ
BUT THERE WERE BETTER
THINGS TO SWEAT
CUZ EVERYBODY'S LOOKING
FOR THAT LETTER OF INTENT
SO THEY WINE EM'
AND DINE EM'
FROM CLOSE AND FAR
APPROACH THE STAR
THEY EVEN GAVE
HIS COACH A CAR
HE'S A MCDONALD'S ALL AMERICAN
DON'T PLAY HIM TOO CLOSE
HE'S GONNA CHOOSE
WHICHEVER UNIVERSITY
PAYS HIM THE MOST
NOW HE'S ON CAMPUS
AND EVERYTHING IS NORM
SMOKING DRINKING
BANGING PRETTY b*tchES
IN THE DORM
HIS ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
ON THE TESTS ARE GUESSES
BUT THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR'S
PAYING OFF ALL HIS PROFESSORS
FIRST GAME AGAINST DUKE
LIVE ON CBS SPORTS
36 POINTS, 3 BLOCKS
AND 10 BOARDS
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BUGGING
WHEN THAT TV GUY
CALLED HIM THE FRESHMAN PHENOM
FROM WILBY HIGH
[Hook: GOOSE]
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK YO
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
AT FIFTEEN
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
[Verse 3: GOOSE]
HALFWAY THROUGH THE PLAYOFFS
IN THE NCAA'S
CAME TO SEE ME AT THE PARK
WITH A BLUNT OF BUBBLE HAZE
WANNA BLAZE ?
RUN A LITTLE 2 ON 2
WITH THE CREW LIKE WE USED TO DO
BACK IN THE DAYS
NO DOUBT TOOK THE BALL OUT
STRAIGHT TO THE HOOP
SECOND PLAY BACKDOOR
THREW THIS PERFECT ALLEY OOP
THEN I TOOK THE SHOT
FROM THE TOP
PHIL WENT UP FOR THE REBOUND
CAME DOWN AND ALL
I HEARD WAS POP
LAYING ON HIS BACK
WITH HIS KNEE SPLIT IN TWO
LIKE A TOOTHPICK
SHIN BONE STICKING
THROUGH THE SKIN
COMPOUND FRACTURE
THREW HIM IN THE CAR
TOLD THE NURSE AT ER
HE A STAR LET HIM IN
SURGEON COMES OUT
BOUT SIX HOURS LATER
WITH A LIGHT BLUE
MASK AND A PEN
HE SAID YOUR FRIEND'S IN A CAST
AND WITH REHAB HE'LL WALK
BUT HE'S NEVER
PLAYING BASKETBALL AGAIN
[Hook: GOOSE]
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK YO
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
AT FIFTEEN
PHIL WAS NICE WITH THE ROCK
THE BEST ON THE BLOCK SO
THEY PUT HIM ON THE VARSITY TEAM
[Verse 4: GOOSE]
I DON'T PLAY NO MORE BALL
MY PRIME'S LONG GONE
STILL GO TO THE COURTS THOUGH
TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON
SAW THIS YOUNG KID
WITH HIS CHAIN HANGING LOW
HE SAID I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU GOOSE WHAT UP BRO
WHO THAT OLD MAN
BY THE FENCE WITH THE CANE
HE SHOWS UP EVERYDAY
ALWAYS WATCHING US PLAYING
THE DUDE NEVER SAY NOTHING
HE JUST FROWNS A LOT
THEN LIMPS TO THE LIQUOR STORE
OR CRACK HEAD SPOT
