[J-Dubbs:] Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the 8th Wonder of the World!

A team made of transfers...oh it's crazy...HOI!

Thanks for comin' out tonight

You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're in Hilton with us

We appreciate that... uuunnnh...

[Jay-P:]

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizzy

Fo' shizzle my big nizzle used to dribble up in Minny

He was workin' em over in the land of the Gopher

Anxiety got the best of him

When he was short on cheese, snatched a laptop then

Hoi and me...got rid of that dirt on him

And Royce delivered us a tournament berth again

[RUN SC3:]

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizzay

Fo' sheezy, so hasty; I keep my arms oh-so-pasty

Can't leave the 3-ball alone the game needs me

Droppin' daggers from the arc, slicing throats it ain't easy

Guards wanna screen me, big guys come box me in

Another no-look dish as I drive to the rim

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizzee

Hilton's a girl that's been so good to me

So when I said goodbye, gave her a kiss

And poof...#CyclONEnation up in this bitch

[CHORUS:]

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizzay

Fuck the NIT, we're in the N C Double Izzay

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Fred's the man now getcha damn hands up

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Largest turnaround in the Big Twelve's Histor-ay

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Fred's the man now get'cha damn hands UP!

[Luda-Chris:]

Holla at me...

I do this for my seniors

To let 'em know

what the tourney looks like...before they go

Show 'em how to move through backcourt full 'o vultures

Lessons from Sparty applied to Cyclone culture

Tavern Hawks hate me I'm changing the status quo up

Transfer don't mean "thug" so you can go and shut the fuck up

Tom Izzo wants a bonus for his years of dumb luck

We can talk, but money talks so talk mo' bucks

[CHORUS:]

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizzay

Fuck the NIT, we're in the N C Double Izzay

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Fred's the man now getcha damn hands up

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Largest turnaround in the Big Twelve's Histor-ay

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-A

Fred's the man now get'cha damn hands UP!

Hoi_medium

[H.O.I.B.:]

Yeah...

Hoi is back, life story told through rap

Big Twelve acting like they had a heart attack

Like I told you throw chairs...no...

Fran did that so hopefully you won't have to go through that

I was raised in the Big Eight, Jayhawks and 'Cats

(Mountaineers out back, burnin' they mama's sofa)

Tigers on the corner, looking to the south

Cowboys in the window, holding 40s to they mouth

Rockets on the telephone, Another first round Cyclone

Fans in my palm, watchin' the long drop of their jaw

So you know I seen it all before

I seen hoop dreams deflate like Craig Brackins' weight

To shoot and to miss, the one thing I hate

Succeed in this coach game, The Mayor is great

H to the izz-O, I to the Bizz-ay

What else can I say about Fred, He's so Dream-ay!
