Verse 1 (Transit):
In 1995 I was 6 years alive
When my Dad told me the news I got a sparkle in my eyes

I remember it, yea It wasn't just any day
When I found out Vancouver joined the NBA
It was a big deal for Canada

With thumb tacks & tape I put the banner up
I dreamt of the jump shot while they dreamt of the gum drops
Slam ball on the trampoline while others did the bum drops

I loved watching the Grizzlies do their thing
It was a new regime when we got Abdur-Rahim
But the season got locked out in '98

& when they came back Big Country gained a lot of weight
They never won every season was tragic
But in '99 man we got the second draft pick

So maybe things, were looking up after all
& we could be more than the laughing stock of basketball


Chorus:
In my room
(Kyprios) In my room

I sat & wondered
(Kyprios) I sat & wondered
Where could my baby be?

(Kyprios) My baby left me, she went to Memphis

Verse 2 (Kyprios):

The gave me the rock it's like the same day they took it away
Vancity, when the team came, embarassed our name
Apparently blame, the errors that came

Started with a white boy, drafted, with no game
Who needed rogaine, footwork & had a fear of traffic
They drafted him for marketting & demographics

They coulda had Ratliff with that draft pick
They chose Big Country & we got our $$# kicked
As if, Heisley ever gonna,

Leave the team in the town of !#)#
Now them was goners
Memphis go to work boys!

The jerseys sucked, but still I rocked the turquoise
It was the politics that got us after all
& they tease us like a new team is coming back to y'all

I'm mad they had to fall, Francis w/ the casket call
Love my city, but man I miss the basketball


Chorus:
In my room
(Kyprios) In my room

I sat & wondered
(Kyprios) I sat & wondered
Where could my baby be?

(Kyprios) My baby left me, she went to Memphis

Verse 3 (Transit):

People ask me:
"So do you cheer for Memphis?"
That's like cheering when dudes french-kiss your exes

That's like cheering for Lex Luther or dem looters
After the Stanley Cup giving a bad name to Vancouver
I'd love to sit with David Stern & maybe have a word

Bout how he let the team leave how could he have the nerve
To move the team pre-mature & give Shareef the word
To load the plane next to Dickerson & Tony Massenburg

& to be super honest, they even moved the Super-Sonics
So being a fan in Western Canada is super awkward
I mean we still have Steve Nash

But all I really want is for them to bring my team back
& nowadays, the dollar is stronger
So if they moved em back we'd get some stars on the roster

Mr. David Stern, bad move Sir, signed sincerely
The fans of Vancouver
