MCI Center in the dark
On the bench cause I do not start
Skills have stopped cause they never stay
Knees are shot need some surgery
Maybe I
Fix this broken team right
Signing contracts, players arrive
Maybe my game will come back tonight

And if I'm out on the floor
I'll drive through the key
Someones hand's in my eye,I'll pass to Jerry(OR Kwame or Larry)
Take my shots and I'm one for three
Less than I thought that I'd be scoring so

Chorus
Bench for MJ
Sip some gatorade and dream
I thought that I could last forever
I thought that I could stay the king
I'm stuck here on a team with new blood
And maybe we can win it one day
But by then I'm going to be wasted
Bench for MJ

Gonna use this boring time
Change the picture in my fan's minds
Outside excuses for a crappy day
Dissapointment on my face
Doug and I
Were're out here building the next big thing
And these critics are wondering
Can they start some winning

And if I put up big scores
The finals may be
More than dreams in the sky
Not just fantasy
Maybe I could be MVP
I could be the old 23

This is MJ
I wanna fill your hopes and dreams
But I just can't stay here forever
Gonna need replacement knees
Wanna make this team the best club
But another year I can't say I'll stay
So now I'm gonna shoot for aces
This is MJ

These are the games to make our strengths real clear
I really wanna make the playoffs this year
Another year and I won't be here
Like it or It's all I got

Chorus(?X)
