His focus is a little different now that some age has set in
But, deep inside, sometimes on the surface, there’s a fighting spirit ready to win
Just because he keeps fact, figures, records don't make him lame He decide long ago to be keeper of the BBall Dream and Flame
During his hey day, he played with the best and competed with them all
Urban Coalition, U of M, around town, wherever there was a ball
In fact his play, his accolades have him knocking on several halls of fame
Yet another reason to be keeper of the DC BBall Dream & Flame

For The Penny Greene that we’ve come to know, there’s only one way

Teaching kids, spreading the legacy is now his and others’ aim Which makes him perfect to be keeper of the DC BBall Dream & Flame
