Crown on the Hardwood

Family memory

Ocean's basketball anthem — crown on the hardwood, heart in the game.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Yeah, lions on the floor, you know the score
48 to 35, watch the roar from the garden to the court
We don't stop, ocean with the rock, yeah we taking the top, let's go
Reference in 10 ton, 1,028, 7 PG, check the crown, check the gold
Lion on the hardwood, stories getting told
Jersey blue and yellow, number two on the back
Dribble between the legs, leave them in the track
The Savannah squad is deep, yeah they lined up
Kalia on the wing, zebra stripes getting hyped up
An orange zebra with a basketball print
Eye on the net, yes she never gonna blink
Then I see Solene, cheetah fast eyes bright
From the grass to the paint, moving left, moving right
And here comes Acre, wing spread, flying high
Blue fur in the rafters, watch them touch the sky
Ellie's got the pink, made a lens in the zone
Moving all together, yeah we claim in the throne
Ten and under, but we playin' like pro's
See the sneakers on our feet, watch how it goes
Fast break, clear the lane, no time to explain
From the cobble to the court, this is more than just a sport
From the garden, from the trees
Sisters, cousins, doin' what we please
Ocean Solene, Ellie, Kalia come through
Made a lens, equal, yeah the whole team's true
Buzzer sounding on 48 on the board
Crown on the head, yeah the lion is restored
We out, yeah we out
