[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 THATS A DREAM
FOR THIS YOUNG CHILD
LIVIN IN THE SLUM WHILE
TRYIN TO KEEP HIS
RECRUITMENT LETTERS
SORTED IN ONE PILE
SCHOOLS JOCKIN'
MAD COACHES KNOCKIN'
ON HIS DOOR
THE ONLY FRESHMAN
ON THE FLOOR
WILL SCORE 44
HIS HANDLE WAS RAW
THE BEST THEY EVER SAW
BUT WAIT A MINUTE JOE COLLEGE
DONT FORGET
HE'S GOT THREE MORE
SUMMERS ON THE PAVEMENT
THROUGH CULTURAL ENSLAVEMENT
HIS COACH SAID HE'D PAY RENT
IF HE WOULDNT DROP OUT
HE DOESNT WANNA' COP OUT
BUT MOMS THROUGH HIS POP OUT
WITH NO RENT THERES 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 MAKIN' CASH
OFF A HUNGRY YOUNG
PLAYER FROM THE STREETS
WHO DIDNT HAVE
A NICKEL TO HIS NAME
BUT THIER CHARGIN'
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]
HERES SENIOR YEAR
AND AFTER ALL THE SMOKES CLEAR
HE'S GOT 57 OFFERS
FROM DIVISION 1 SCHOOLS
NEVER LEARNED TO READ
BUT THERE WERE BETTER
THINGS TO SWEAT
CUZ EVERYBODYS LOOKIN'
FOR THAT LETTER OF INTENT
SO THEY WINE EM'
AND DINE EM'
FROM CLOSE N' FAR
APPROACH THE STAR ?
THEY EVEN GAVE
HIS COACH A CAR
HE'S A MCDONALDS ALL AMERICAN
DONT PLAY HIM TOO CLOSE
HE'S GONNA' CHOOSE
WHICHEVER UNIVERSITY
PAYS HIM THE MOST
NOW HE'S ON CAMPUS
AND EVERYTHING IS NORM
SMOKIN' DRINKIN'
BANGIN' PRETTY b*tchES
IN THE DORM
HIS ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
ON THE TESTS ARE GUESSES
BUT THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
PAYIN' OFF ALL HIS PROFESSORS
FIRST GAME 'GAINST DUKE
LIVE ON CBS SPORTS
36 POINTS, 3 BLOCKS
AND 10 BOARDS
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BUGGIN'
WHEN THAT TV GUY
CALLED EM' 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 A' 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 THIS SHOT
FROM THE TOP
PHIL WENT UP FOR THE REBOUND
CAME DOWN AND ALL
I HEARD WAS POP
LAYIN' ON HIS BACK
WITH HIS KNEE SPLIT IN TWO
LIKE A TOOTHPICK
SHIN BONE STICKIN'
THROUGH THE SKIN
COMPOUND FRACTURE
THREW EM' IN THE CAR
TOLD THE NURSE AT E.R
HE A STAR, LET HIM IN
SURGEON COMES OUT '
BOUT SIX HOURS LATER
WITH A LIGHT BLUE
MASK AND A PEN
AND SAID YA FRIENDS IN A CAST
AND WITH REHAB HE'LL WALK
BUT HE'S NEVER
PLAYIN' 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
