Lyrics

Sports Team (ver. 7)

Yeah
I may not look like much to you
Short and skinny compared to you
Glasses to improve my view
All fucked up, yeah
Boo-hoo-hoo

But when I meet up with my crew
I'm a playboy just like you
Bree van Bri and The Devastator
Sweet Tip Willy
I'm-a call you later (See you later, alligator)

In the game of tough ball
We off the wall
Like Michael Jackson
We Anglo-Saxon
Getting financial backing

You don't associate Michael with toughness
But you don't understand the plight of the artist
You need your brothers to watch your back
And even then, you might smoke crack

We are the sports team (cranking Drake)
Go tell the ref to start the game
We are the sports team (cranking Drake)
Go tell the ref to start the game
It might be pink, it might be purple
Depending on how you mix that shit
It might be pink, it might be purple
Depending on how you mix that shit
