[Spoken Intro]

[Track: Dunk]


[Hex]

Sun is shining, weather's great

Don your lucky jersey!

Don't forget to hydrate

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

When you're thirsty!

You get thirsty?


[Hex]

Well, no, robots don't drink

But we've still got to oil our joints!


[The Boyfriend]

If you're rusty, I think

It would be awful hard to score points!


[Hex]

Once you've limbered up a little

Hit the court and grab a B-Ball


[The Boyfriend]

Must have lots of room to dribble

When you're standin' seven feet tall!


[Hex]

Oh, yes! That's my favorite part!

Dribbling with perfect rhythm


[The Boyfriend]

Never thought of B-Balls as art!

You could make a dope beat with em!


[Hex]

THat's what got me hooked on songs!

Sports and tunes go hand-in-hand!


[The Boyfriend]

You were jammin' all along!

We should get you in a band!


[Hex]

But that's just a warm-up session!

Once the game starts, it gets better


[The Boyfriend]

Think I'm gettin' the impression

That's when it comes all together!


[Hex]

Shoes squeaking!


[The Boyfriend]

Moving sounds!


[Hex]

Joy peaking!


[The Boyfriend]

All around!


[Hex]

Baskets swishing!


[The Boyfriend]

Nothing but net!


[Hex]

Something's missing...

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

How could I forget?

How could you forget?


[Hex]

The scoreboard beckons

Closing tension's red-hot

Counting down the seconds!

Comes down to the last shot!


[The Boyfriend]

Hype so strong you can taste it!

Heart pounding with funk!

Got one chance, don't waste it!

Jump up, slam down and dunk!


[Hex]

Suddenly the room gets loud

Overcome by cheering!

They want more, shout "Encore"

Circuits reeling!


[The Boyfriend]

Basking in a cheering crowd

Just like a musician!

Where I'll be, hopefully!

Least I'm wishin'!


[Hex]

Anybody who craves the thrill

Performance gives can make it!


[The Boyfriend]

Right back at ya, you got the will

To see your shot and take it!


[Hex]

I'm just visiting this street

To shoot some hoops and sing some ditties!


[The Boyfriend]

Never know who you might meet

When you play out around the city!


[Spoken Intermission]

[Track: R.A.M.]


[Hex]

I've been playing ball with people for a while!


[The Boyfriend]

Don't shock me at all you got a real smooth style!


[Hex]

Glad you think so! I'll be real

Took some time to reach my best!


[The Boyfriend]

Oh, for sure! know how that feels...

Didn't always sound this fresh!


[Hex]

Playing with new friends

Made me realize every match is special

You must calculate the most amusing result


[The Boyfriend]

That really depends

Fighting new foes gets a little stressful

When you gotta psychoanalyze their insults


[Hex]

Haven't had that problem

Everyone's been pleasant


[The Boyfriend]

That's odd, everyone wants

Me dead when I'm present!


[Hex]

I recall just yesterday

Went against a living bomb


[BF]

You mean Whitty? Dude, no way!

That guy's anything but calm


[He]

Doesn't like songs, true

But he is quite masterfull at B-ball!

Doesn't have to

Jump to reach the basket at all!


[The Boyfriend]

Maybe I shoulda

Got to know him before i started singing

Next time, I'll just

Pass a basketball and wing it!


[Hex]

Not everyone is a hoop-dunkin' ace

While passing through Nevada met a clownish man in dismay

Couldn't shoot it from the right place

But he won in his own way


[The Boyfriend]

Seems that you got a real talent with people

Makin' their acquaintance without fightin' them or dyin'

That appeal is near unequalled

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

Everybody wins!

Everybody wins!


[Hex]

There was one last really tough guy


[The Boyfriend]

Bet he was a really rough guy


[Hex]

Orange hair and scowling face


[The Boyfriend]

I know him

We used to date


[Hex]

Told him, "Shoot the ball!"

He did


[The Boyfriend]

How'd you calm him?

I'd have hid


[Hex]

We went to a shooting range!


[The Boyfriend]

Now that's Pico's kinda game!


[Hex]

Putting a cap on the theory I've tested

Anyone can be your friend if you act nice and think fast

Find out what makes them invested

Make some memories that last


[The Boyfriend]

Sure wish more people I fought thought like you do

Woulda saved a lotta trouble if they didn't hate me

Lots to take home from this round two

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

You did splendidly!

You did splendidy!


[Hex, spoken]

Our paths in life hold different lore

You turn to rap, I turn to dunks

But we share one thing for sure:

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

We can really funk

We can really funk


[Spoken Intermission]

[Track: Hello World!]


[Hex]

My life's great, you know, what else could I need?


[The Boyfriend]

How about a show with you as the lead?


[Hex]

All I know is playing games with passing strangers


[The Boyfriend]

Trust me, shows are tame against those dangers


[Hex]

Do people really like basketball players that much?

Oh, what would I do?


[The Boyfriend]

You're more than sports, man

You've got lotsa layers

Besides...

They made Space Jam 2!


[Hex]

Would they even let me play with pros?

People tend to think robots are cheaters


[The Boyfriend]

You work harder than most folks I know

I got your in!

Her dad owns a theater


[Hex]

Why, that's it, that's how I'll start

Mix my dunks with songs and art

Sing the joys of basketball

Like I just did!


[The Boyfriend]

That act sure sounds real unique

Folks would watch you every week

Funks and dunks, you'll have it all

You'll flip their lids


[Hex]

This show's gonna be the best

I'll bring folks I met as guests

Pico, Whitty, plenty more

Just not the clown!


[The Boyfriend]

For the pilot, I'll co-star

That'll help the show go far

So, what are you waiting for?

Let's head on down!


[Hex]

Do you think my clothing looks alright?

Not sure if this

Jersey's too plebian


[The Boyfriend]

You're fine, besides we don't have all night

If we don't jet

It's my final evenin'


[Hex]

Then I'll set my power use to full steam


[The Boyfriend]

You and I are gonna make a rad team


[Hex]

Golly, this day's been good as it gets

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

Easily the chillest one I've had yet

Easily the chillest one I've had yet


[Hex]

Call a taxi, on the spot

Show her father what I've got

If he lets me use the stage

Won't regret it


[The Boyfriend]

We'll just walk, the night is calm

Called a taxi, got her mom

[Hex and The Boyfriend]

So excited!

You're gonna be all the rage

Don't forget it


[Hex]

Hello, world, your best bot Hex is calling


[The Boyfriend]

You'll be burnin' red hot, so enthralling


[Hex]

Even my capacitors can't hold my thanks, friend


[The Boyfriend]

No prob, buddy, glad that we could make this happen


[Spoken Intermission]

[Track: Glitcher]


[Hackers]

Yes! Our virus pierced the system

From here oughta be smooth sailing

Start copying everything you can before his drives start failing


[The Boyfriend]

Get off of that lovely robot

I'm gonna reset his power

How could you destroy someone like this

Before their finest hour?


[Hackers]

Woah, there's someone else micspamming?

We can't stop his counterattack!

Listen, punk, we got here first

So find another bot to hijack


[The Boyfriend]

I'm not here to steal his body

That's a person you're abusing

No one raps as fast as me

So give it up right now, you're losing!


[Hackers]

We're on borrowed time, make a memory dump


[The Boyfriend]

You won't get a byte out of his hard drive


[Hackers]

We'll get what we need, just hit a bump


[The Boyfriend]

Cut it out, that hurts him, he's alive


[Hackers]

Got his data logs to load up


[The Boyfriend]

Keep your mitts off of his files


[Hackers]

Ooh, interesting... look right here what showed up...


[The Boyfriend]

How dare you read that

[The Boyfriend and Hackers]

Bring back his smile!

Bring back his smile!


["Hex"]

Oh, gosh, thank you, Hex is back now!

All my gratitude is showing

Hurry, lest her folks attack now

You'd better get going!


[The Boyfriend]

Think I'm fallin' for that old trick?

You must be impersonating

And you read our chats, wow, that's sick

You're infuriating!


["Hex"]

No, it's your buddy Hex right here!

Better stop before you overload me!


[The Boyfriend]

Said give it up, it's real clear

That you're pretending

Come on, you just showed me!


[Hackers]

You just threw away your shot to walk out, your loss!


[The Boyfriend]

Not leavin' here 'till my buddy's free at all costs!


[Hackers]

We'll just have to crush you first

We know that we can overload you


[The Boyfriend]

C'mon, cowards, do your worst

There's so many tough fights I've lived through


[Hackers]

Just act like he's normal, we'll spare you, you help us


[The Boyfriend]

Don't try and get formal, you'll never have my trust


[Hackers]

We were gonna nuke this pile

But if he has a TV show

[Hackers and The Boyfriend]

We could let him live awhile

You would let him live awhile

Interview and gather info

Interview and gather info


[Hackers]

If you really wanna save him

Promise we won't touch a byte

If you get him that TV show

You're broadcasting at night!


[The Boyfriend]

That's his show! You freaks can't have it

Told you, no negotiations

Hex is purer than a rabbit

Get your own damn station!


[Hackers]

No deal, then?

Gonna make this thing

Overclock way past the point of breaking!


[The Boyfriend]

Not if I force-restart him

It all comes down to this

My heart is aching!


[Hex]

System warning: hard drive overheating

Motherboard is critically dying

Random access memory depleting

Virus overloading, multiplying!


[The Boyfriend]

You might think this is enough to shake me

And if not, you'll leave him broke and worthless

But there's nothing you can pull to make me

Keep him from his bliss


[Hackers]

Drat, I thought that code would do it

Seems this hack might be a blowout

Wait, a hidden file! Review it!

Copy it before he goes out!


[The Boyfriend]

Knew you couldn't overpower me!

Better run before he comes back

I'll tell him to print your IP

Track you down and counterattack!


[Hackers]

This thing found the bomb we've been huntin' down...


[The Boyfriend]

What? You're after Whitty? You want his sound?


[Hackers]

You don't need to know why we need him!


[The Boyfriend]

Drop the robot, give it up, leave him!


[Hackers]

You can have him, this is better...


[The Boyfriend]

We just took you down together


[Hackers]

Thanks for your help, this'll be a big blast!


[The Boyfriend]

Go funk yourself, this hack best be your last!
