[Chorus]
LA Lakers, fast break makers
Kings of the court, shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a badass fact
A claim that remains intact
[Verse 1]
M-A-G-I-C, see you on the court
Buck has come to play his way and his way is to thwart
M-A-G-I-C, Magic of the buck
Other teams pray for dreams
But he don't give a fuck
Penetrating the lane like a bullet train
Comes Magic blood a telepathic brain
Knucklehead suckers better duck
When the buck comes through like a truck
Scott stops, pops, and drops it in
On his way back, gets a little skin
From the hand of a man named AC Green
Slam so hard, break your TV screen
Worthy's hot with his tomahawk
Take it to the hole, make your mama talk
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to burst your bubble, but triple double trouble
Is comin' to your town and he's gonna make rubble
[Chorus]
LA Lakers, fast break makers
Kings of the court, shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a badass fact, a claim that remains intact
[Verse 2]
M-A-G-I-C, I see your purple and gold
You can swim, but you won't get far
So you might as well go home
M-A-G-I-C in Buck we trust
Restoring order to the court, and justice is a must
Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
'Cause they've got more moves than a bowl full of jelly
The buck stops here, pops, then cheers
A roar through the Forum that deafens my ears
The one and only known of his kind sits in a throne
Not for the records that he holds
But for bein' bald and bold
Kareem Abdul Jabbar, all-time great super, superstar
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to burst your bubble, but triple double trouble
Is comin' to your town and he's gonna make rubble
[Interlude]
Does anybody want some (Magic Johnson?)
Does anybody want some (Magic Johnson?)
Does anybody want some (Magic Johnson?)
Does anybody want some (Magic Johnson?)
[Chorus]
LA Lakers, fast break makers
Kings of the court, shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a badass fact, a claim that remains intact
LA Lakers, fast break makers
Kings of the court, shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a badass fact
A claim that remains intact
