Larry Bird’s Life Matters Too Lyrics by Ryan Parker

2020

Black lives matter in the NBA
They're gonna write it on the courts where the players play
And put it on their backs where their names should be
Do they know that slavery's history?
From fundamental lay-ups to showtime dunks
The pie-high shorts, the loose, low trunks
The NBA's come a long, long way
From 1950 when the first black played
I love Shaq, and I liked Walt
And those Lakers teams, that magic bolt
I love Sir Charles and Dr. J
And it's been real fun watching Curry play
I say Michael Jordan was the best
Better than the white logo Jerry West
If we're all racist, tell me why
It's okay to say, "Token white guy"
White men can't jump, and they've got small hands
I would pick LeBron or choose Durant
If I had one guy to start a team
If he wasn't old, I'd take Kareem
Is the fact I do this a good basis
To say that I am a reverse racist?
If I only want my team to win
I don't care about the color of their skin
I find it odd and somewhat strange
When a guy like Nash or Danny Ainge
Comes in the league and has success
'Cause the white guys just have not been blessed
I see Brian Scalabrine
While the NBA wants Mussolini
Black lives matter, yes it's true
But I'm here to say, "Larry Bird's life matters, too"
Larry Bird's life matters, too
Larry Bird's life matters, too
