    Lyrics:

    Is this game real life
    Or Portland’s fantasy
    We're in the playoffs
    No one expected Rip City
    The Blue line's your ride
    Get down to the Rose and Rise

    We're just a young team
    Vonleh’s just twenty
    Because it's block the shot, run the floor
    Draw the fowl, pick and roll
    Harkless, Crabbe, Ed Davis
    Who's that guy from Duke in the key?
    Plumlee

    Lillard, just nailed a three
    Had a hand up in his face
    Now the Clippers are disgraced
    Lillard Time has just begun
    And now we got to make it all the way
    Lillard, oooh
    Didn't think you'd get this far
    And we all know this run could end tomorrow
    Carry on, Terry Stotts
    Cause it's team that really matters

    0.9, game on the line
    Dame got it off in time
    Shot from far behind the line
    This year will be different, we're here to stay
    Not afraid of Klay and Curry in the Bay

    Lillard, oooh
    I don't wanna loose
    Sometimes wish I didn't watch basketball

    I see a giant silouhetto of a chief
    Al-Farouq, Al-Farouq, can you do the Chris Kaman
    Stumblin' and bumblin', Mike and Mike grumblin'
    CJ McCollum (Meyers Leonard)
    CJ McCollum (Meyers Leonard)
    CJ McCollum to the hole
    Go Blazers go
    I'm just a point guard
    Everybody snubs me
    He's just a guard from the 510 to 503
    Now letter O is the heart of the team

    Henderson, Connaughton, Brian, Cliff, Luis
    Pryzbilla NO
    He retired years ago (years ago)
    Bill Walton
    Retired years ago (years ago)
    Clyde Drexler
    Retired years ago (years ago)
    Go Blazers Go
    Go go go go go go go
    Boom Shaka Laka Shaka laka
    Boom shaka laka Blazers go
    When Aldridge left
    Never never thought there'd be a chance for me
    For Rip City!

    So you all like to doubt him but it's Lillard time
    In the Rose Garden Dame Dollar is dropping a dime
    Oooh Terry
    Call the play for us Terry
    Just gotta get up
    Just gotta get right up and jam

    Defense, defense

    All-Stars do not matter
    Anyone can see
    All-Stars do not matter
    The only thing that matters
    Is team

    Great day to be a Blazer

    This is so awesome!

    I know parodies are protected, but the music is so close it might still violate copyrights. Weird Al always changes things a bit so it it not exactly like the original. Anyone know how that works?

    They're safe as long as no one tells Freddy Mercury about it.

    Hopefully Freddie doesn't follow Al-Farouk Aminu on Twitter.

    Well done.

    Here's another nice Blazer themed video that was posted here a while back. Originally done for the Ducks, but a nice remake for the Blazers -

    Most sports based parodies are kind of lame and peter out after a while, that one was really well written.

    And it kicked ass too.

    I must be dead inside or something because while I recognize it was well made, I didn't really like it.

    You and @Tunchi should team up to write, "I like draft picks and I can not lie... Tanking instead of a playoff die..."
