U Got Game

New demo.

This is my stab at another fun, youth group-y song. I heard Chris Rice's song "Cartoons" on the radio yesterday, and last night I wrote this. The sad part: it's all true--what I sing in the verses, it actually happened to me.

[By the way, each line of the chorus is lead into by the refrain "u got game," which would be sung by back-up singers/audience. I couldn't sing two vocals at the same time, obviously, but I hint at where it would be sung. You'll probably hear it in your head.]

"U Got Game"

I once scored two points for the other team in sixth grade basketball
I was so bad their cheerleaders cheered for ME
"Hey, throw HIM the ball!"

But I got a new team and man we're in it
And I got the call and it's a lay-up to win it

(U got game)
He's cheering me on, he's pulling for me
(U got game)
He's my #1 fan, now can't you see
(U got game)
He's rooting for us, he's calling our name
And in the game of life he tells us...
U got game

I once dropped a fly ball for the final out in a little league championship
The other team won and though my momma said it's all okay, well man that didn't help a bit

But I got a new team and man we're winning
And I'm at the plate and it's the ninth inning

(U got game)
He's cheering me on, he's pulling for me
(U got game)
He's my #1 fan, now can't you see
(U got game)
He's rooting for us, he's calling our name
And in the game of life he tells us...
U got game

"2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate!" was always my favorite cheer
No, it was never for me, but my mistakes are redeemed, and I don't have to wait until next year

(U got game)
He's cheering me on, he's pulling for me
(U got game)
He's my #1 fan, now can't you see
(U got game)
He's rooting for us, he's calling our name
And in the game of life he tells us...
U got game

Smallwhale, i dont think a personal attack on a persons looks has anything to do with the sheer professionalism from this artiste.

You sound like a poor mans version of the lead singer from Built to Spill with a singing style of Ben Kweller. Lose the glasses and get a little funnier and maybe you will have something.
