[intro]
Yeah, ayy (ayy, c'mon)
Yeah, ayy (whoa, hold on)
It's big rainey, man (big rainey in the building)
Had to get in my michigan bag for this one (uh-huh, yessir, what else?)
Flint, what up? (what up?)
Grand rapids, what's good? (detroit what's happenin'?)
Look—
I just had to get somethin' off my chest bro 'cause— (had to get it off my chest, baby)
I feel like— (i gotta vent right quick)
I feel like its a lot of freaky stuff goin' on in the league (a lot of freaky things)
And nobody's talking about it so you know what? it's up to me (damn-damn, rainey)
Look
[chorus]
Why so many jalen's in the nba? (why?)
I think it's way too many jalen's in the nba (too many)
Went to sleep and it was 10 jalen's in the nba
Woke up and now it's 30 jalen's in the nba (what happened?)
[verse 1]
We got jalen smith on the bulls (uh-huh)
And jaylen with a "y" playing for the timberwolves
Think it's a joke but i'm actually earnest (i am)
To tell the truth, that ain't even really scratching the surface (it's not)
Because there's 607 players on the court playing (yep)
And 16 teams got a player named "jalen" (what else?)
And it's really two jalen's on 3 teams (uh-huh)
That's gotta be like 50 percent of the league
In the crib tryna figure what it all really means
I know they mama raised 'em like "my son is my king"
And i could probably recognize 'em all by facial
And i wouldn't be surprised if they was all biracial
Look
[chorus]
Why so many jalen's in the nba? (why?)
I think it's way too many jalen's in the nba (too many)
Went to sleep and it was 30 jalen's in the nba (like 30)
Woke up and now it's 80 jalen's in the nba (goddamn)
[verse 2]
We got jalen hood up on the lakers (uh-huh)
Wilson on the nets, jalen smith is on the pacers (who else?)
Can't forget jalen duren is on the pistons
And the other jalen out of sacramento where the kings is
Bridges, harris, williams on the thunder
'bout to place bets on where the next one finna come from (where?)
My money on new york or chicago cities with the most white baby mama's as far as i know
And the nfl is even more insane
Dude, you ever seen jalen hurts or speedy in the same room? (no)
Next draft more jalen's in the fold
And it's all thanks to the legendary jalen rose
But it's already—
[chorus]
Way too many jalen's in the nba
Why so many jalen's in the nba? (why?)
Went to sleep, 600 jalen's in the nba (oh my god)
Now the whole league is jalen in the nba (it's the whole league now, man)
[outro]
You know i'm sayin'? like (like-like, what's really goin' on?)
I-i-i-it get crazy bro, like (you know what i mean?)
Like l-l-listen ladies we gotta start pickin' different names, man (you gotta come up with somethin' else man)
You know what i'm sayin'?
What happened to jerome? (what happened to darius?)
Did you know jerry west real name was jerome? (i didn't know that until today)
