    Interesting. Thanks. I always find it fascinating how these words come to be and why they became well known.

    Like the Italian slur. I thought it meant With Out Papers but I heard that was wrong.

    So does that explain the name of the convenience stores?

    He should have retired to the song "take this job and shove it...(I ain't working here no more)"

    To understand what he's saying. I tried to write it all down...

    lyrics:

    Good golly the NBA was fun,
    Especially when I sported a literal man-bun

    I cut my hair,
    But still warmed up that chair

    I got millions to polish that long-ass bench,
    Least I landed that prime lil subservient wench

    Ballin' gave me a rockin' bod,
    But I chose to focus on playin' COD

    Chorus:
    I ain't been thinkin',
    I just been drinkin'


    Nahhhh, nahhhh, nah nah, nahhhhh nahhhhh

    I can shoot the threeeeeeee,
    But I prefer turnin' to the mirror and lookin' at meeeeeeee


    I coulda signed with the Spurs,
    Had I not been slingin' those slurs

    It's time to hang up my size 18 NBA boots,
    And finally get back to my video game roots

    When I fill my big hands with that tiny gamepad,
    I shed that feeling that I'm so empty and sad

    Just like when I fill my big hands with those silicone bags,
    I can forget about my future goin' from riches to rags

    Chorus:

    I ain't on the dream team,
    I'm part of the stream team


    Nahhh-yee-hawwww

    I got to play that b-ball gaaaaaaame,
    But that ain't the reason for my faaaaaaame


    I will always be remembered for my stupid words,
    And I have a gold toilet for droppin' huge turds

    I will wash away my tears from my wasted career,
    With my Insta-wife's jugs holdin' onto my beer

    Come and see me play some Call of Duuuuuty,
    If you rate and subscribe you can see my girl's boooooooty

    The mods moved my lyrics to this topic when it had a topic of its own, I wonder if people are assuming that those are the actual lyrics and not actually taking the time to read them and find out they are painstakingly written roast lyrics about Myers Leonard coming from me, a long time Blazers fan during that era.

    Here's a more accurate country song for Meyers.....

    "Seven Feet of Maybe"
    By ChatGPT & The Pickup Game Band

    (Verse 1)
    He came outta Illinois, corn-fed and tall
    A seven-foot giant, with a shooter's call
    Draft night lights, thirteenth pick in the round
    Blazers fans said, “Finally, our big man's been found!”

    (Verse 2)
    Had a good look, had a soft touch too
    But five boards a game? That ain’t gonna do
    He’d hit a three, then vanish in the mist
    NBA dreams can be hit or missed

    (Chorus)
    He’s seven feet of maybe, six fouls and a prayer
    One night he's hot, next game he ain't there
    A stretch five legend on a YouTube reel
    But where’d he go in the fourth quarter feel?
    Yeah, he played the game, but never owned the floor
    Just seven feet of maybe… and not much more

    (Verse 3)
    Miami gave him one more try
    Took his protein shakes and said, “This guy might fly!”
    But then came a moment, he said the wrong thing
    And just like that, he lost his ring

    (Bridge)
    Now he's on a podcast, talkin’ 'bout grit
    Says he’s learned from the storm, won't ever quit
    Still hits the gym, still stays lean
    But the league moved on, like it’s never been

    (Chorus)
    He’s seven feet of maybe, hype turned to dust
    A bench mob warrior you couldn’t quite trust
    Had the size, the look, the lottery name
    But he never quite mastered the NBA game
    Still, he wore the jersey, he heard the roar
    Just seven feet of maybe… and maybe more

    (Outro)
    So here’s to the dreamers, who almost break through
    The ones who show flashes, just not follow-through
    Meyers, you tried—man, that takes some guts
    Even if the scoreboard didn’t show up in the clutch

    Yeah, you were seven feet of maybe…
    But hey, that’s still better than most of us.

    Just create an account and paste the lyrics in. I can’t without getting a subscription. You can do one for free though.

    If he could have learned that it’s not required to bring the ball down to your knees before shooting, he might have had a longer career.

    He would have had a longer career if he had realized he didn’t need to stream himself playing video games.
