[Intro] Clap your hands if you feel the groove Soul power Make that hardwood move (hey!) ABA vs NBA Who ran the game Back in the day Soul power Get louder [Verse 1] From playground courts To the players Short shorts The ABA had The three point shot The bright Red White blue ball The slam dunk contest and Dr. J Ten cent beer nights But ABA faced Financial struggles. [Chorus] Clap your hands if you feel the groove Soul power Make that hardwood move ABA vs NBA Who ran the game back in the day? Soul power Get louder Get louder (oh yeah) DR. J was the player back in the day New era born when he paved that way Soul power Soul power Soul power Make that hardwood move [Verse 2] Spin that ball on a fingertip Afros high Yeah The whole place lit Flash and flair with the wild cross-over Half-court dreams when the night was over Would the two leagues clash Would the two leagues merge? Whole new wave on the culture surge Old logos fade But the stories stay Every no-name kid still shoutin’ “let’s play” [Bridge] Would they fall Would they rise Would they meet at the rim? Two worlds One court Lights go dim From the corner of the park to the sold-out roar Every bounce Every step Opened up that door (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Clap your hands if you feel the groove Soul power Make that hardwood move ABA vs NBA Who ran the game back in the day? Soul power Get louder Get louder From hook shots clean to the chasedown swat Every shake Every fake Gave the game its heart Soul power Soul power Soul power Make that hardwood move [Outro] From playground courts to the big-time lights Short shorts Long nights Legendary fights The beginning of a new era What we gon’ do? Soul power in the paint Runnin’ straight through you Clap your hands if you feel the groove Soul power Make that hardwood move Let’s play Let’s play Let’s play Soul power Get louder today
