about

Uhh... well it's kind of a long deceitful story involving Howard Schultz, a handful of westside politicians, the devil incarnate David Stern, and a bunch of foul henchmen. Originally recorded in 2007, released officially as part of Matt Carlton - "Inexplicable" (2010)

lyrics

On the wall in my room hangs a poster from 1979,
there's a skyline basketball and Lenny WIlkens, too.
The weedle on the needle, Jack Sikma, and downtown Freddy Brown.
DJ, Gus Williams, too.
It's from back in the day when opponents were slayed
in the old coliseum, the epicenter of the heart of the Emerald City.
And it's the X-Man cometh, Tom Chambers rising,
Ray Allen leaving, Kevin Durant arriving.
Starbucks coffee gave us all the worms...

Save our Sonics. Save our Supersonics. Save our Seattle Supersonics.

Like the "Reign Man" bringing thunder on an oop up from "The Glove"
Or Big Smooth, Hawkins, and the German dropping bombs.
In '95 they unlocked the key with blessings from David Stern,
who somehow is more arrogant than me.
He's the four-eyed-bitch of the NBA owner's fraternity,
whose luxury box' depends upon a public dime.
Now I ain't sayin' the governments good,
they ain't helpin' out in your neighborhood...

They twiddle their thumbs, they scratch their bums,
they only cater to the corporate scum.
And Clay Bennett is a rich businessman, unlike you
What you gonna do?

Save our Sonics! Save Our Supersonics!! Save our Seattle Supersonics!!!

Starbucks coffee gave us all the worms.

And it's the X-Man cometh, Tom Chambers rising, Ray Allen leaving, Kevin Durant arriving...
