    ''I went home today and that court that we'd go play been bull dozed away''... That line always gets me, HOME BREW is next level rap makes me proud knowing that these guys are from our little country AOTEAROA...much love...

    Yeah this one here goes to Riversdale park, Avondale.
    For all the snot nosed kids, check
    This basketball court tells my life without no more talk
    Foot prints still in the floor from where my fours walked
    Memories still in my thoughts from back in fourth-form
    And chalk still drawn up on the wall for the score-board
    And in the breeze
    I hear the old wind kicking leaves
    As I sit in tree's, watching little me sitting three's
    I smell the tar still burning in the summer sun
    And melting bubblegum mixed with burning rubber from my bikes back tire
    Leaving marks in the park
    Car park parts had my name carved in in bark
    Blood stains remain like my first tattoo
    Written in the concrete with a piece of bamboo
    And I go back now and again
    To get up outta my head
    And think about it, all the hours I've spent
    And I can hear the ball bouncing again
    And sometimes I can even here the sound of the net
    Like 'hwishhh'
    Just walking through the street
    With nothing on our feet
    Just snotty little kids playing 5-on-5
    Sitting in the dark
    With the bums in the park
    And the bottle on the bench on a Friday night
    Chilling by myself
    Just me and no one else
    Looking at the world from the three-point line
    From 3 feet tall
    All the way to 24
    This basketball court it knows my life
    Now as the days flew
    This new hoop is where we came to
    Same crew
    Same old suede's, but they were sprayed blue
    Same view, nothing had changed
    Just the chain's new
    And the tape played break-loose for us to break to
    The same moon went like the core
    Every night just like a torch
    While the old folks called their kids in from by the porch
    And you can tell the ones who grew up here
    Cause they used to gear 'their older brothers
    Used to wear like a souvenir
    Its like we do a loop
    I'm looking at my new recruit
    Playing on the same hoop
    Where we used to shoot
    And now we sit up on the park bench
    Sippin' Maß, sippin' jack
    Where we sat, in the days
    Pickin' scabs
    Sittin' back in the pitch black
    As I reminisce on every swish
    Missing every shot I ever missed
    And I remember still
    Ain't forgot it, probably never will
    The day I beat will 7 nil
    Its real.
    Just walking through the street
    With nothing on our feet
    Just snotty little kids playing 5-on-5
    Sitting in the dark
    With the bums in the park
    And the bottle on the bench on a Friday night
    Chilling by myself
    Just me and no one else
    Looking at the world from the three-point line
    From 3 feet tall
    All the way to 24
    This basketball court it knows my life
    I went home today
    And that court where we'd, go to play's
    Been bull-dozed away
    Now the only stain
    From the, olden day
    Are the marks in the park from the, roller blades
    And the fingerprints left on the black board
    A blank wall and a flat ball
    But that's all
    There's no more lights
    No more fights, for who's like Mike
    And no games that go all night
    There's no more; Life
    I pick up a rock and take a jump shot
    That I once got from that one spot
    And I remember how it felt being young
    As I count 3 2 1
    I guess one day, we all gotta end the game
    I never would of made the NBA anyway
    But I'll never let my memory fade
    And when, ever I play
    I re-member the days.
    Just walking through the street
    With nothing on our feet
    Just snotty little kids playing 5-on-5
    Sitting in the dark
    With the bums in the park
    And the bottle on the bench on a Friday night
    Chilling by myself
    Just me and no one else
    Looking at the world from the three-point line
    From 3 feet tall
    All the way to 24
    This basketball court it knows my life
