|
[Verse] |
|
I come from the other side, where people don't talk about |
|
Hoop Life mixtape, ************* I'm trying to make it out |
|
Gotta see another route, cause people just stress me |
|
Try to build me up, but they never will protect me |
|
So I gotta see stuff and handle it directly |
|
Cause if I don't ante up, nobody respect that |
|
You better get back, never let a man talk *************t |
|
With no get back, you feel me? |
|
Shooting at the gym, man, them *************s won't forget that |
|
Yak dance at the gym, guns at the gym |
|
My coach don't say *************t, I'm not on probation |
|
I keep my nose clean, cause it's so racist |
|
************* them *************s, above the rim, *************s |
|
See my heart is gold, and it's... |
|
NBA here I come, it's my time to *************ne |
|
I was really blowing up, with them people overseas |
|
Look me in the face, they know it's more than what it seems |
|
I feel nowadays, nobody even dreaming |
|
Far from believing, remember Based Jam |
|
I was working offseason, seeing D-League and |
|
************* D-League if they don't understand me |
|
Just understand money, sign the check, that's enough |
|
I'm here lifelong, hall of fame |
|
This my song, nobody can sit on my throne |
|
I told my partner on the phone, I'm gone, got long |
|
But I'd rather live life over anything involved |
|
Trying to live my life with less scars, less jewelry |
|
Less cars, less whips, less chains |
|
Rather play the game, I run the game |
|
Gotta see a better side before you front on me |
|
Worldwide, Basedworld, Lil B, Thank you BasedGod |
|
This some real *************t, on some ill *************t |
|
Today like nobody had my interests |
|
And let me mention, I was always in class |
|
Always on detention |
|
Just trying to get my name mentioned |
|
In the hall of fame, Lil B in the same sentence |
|
Worldwide superstar, I got the game pimped |
|
And before rap, I loved wrap, so, *************, I ain't tripping |
|
Never hit licks with me |
|
So long high speeds, trying to find my place |
|
In the world, a name in this world |
|
Some people don't make it out, this a real dangerous world |
|
No world can tell me that you don't love me |
|
No homo, man, they rooting for me |
|
Lil B, man, you the truth, homie |
|
Not many *************s real, most of these *************s clones |
|
Phony ass *************s said I'm the truth |
|
Then they got injured, man, they said I lost juice |
|
People hating you, that's a easy thing to do |
|
Got the screens, man, I gotta make moves |
|
Moving on the court, open space for the team |
|
You're clogging up the lane, full of greed |
|
Might as well just have the mother******g team |
|
You don't give a *************, man, you don't even play the game |
|
But you wanna get paid |
|
That's the reason why all these suckers play |
|
But you gotta have money, to own some thangs |
|
Got **** in the locker room, I could show you some thangs |
|
These ******* don't want none, these hoes ain't nothing |
|
******* monotone, I ain't telling nothing |
|
Who want the work, man, I got houses and ******* |
|
3-story penthouse, superstarred all my ******* |
|
Got workers, got people, that can handle business |
|
Rip up mic's, man the city is ours |
|
I play top notch, you can't match my bars |
|
This is Lil B, all day, I'm getting so large |
|
Team getting so hard, and the city is ours |
|
I swear to god, man, it's ugly outside |
|
Man, I gotta...man, my willingness lie |
|
I love to fly high, man, my vision to ride |
|
I ride with the team, *************, our mission is dollars |
|
People wanna scream and holler, I can't hear 'em |
|
I told these *************s "************* 'em", their faces is so hollow |
|
Wanna see them putting faces on bottles |
|
A lot of *************s wanna scream, because they ************* like models |
|
*************ne underwater, my face is the goggles |
|
Don't quit your dreams, *************, they can't stop you |
|
Plus it's Hoop Life real, man, I'm going full throttle |
|
Seen 'em, got 'em, spot 'em, separate my rivals |
|
Most people ready, classify 'em as nothing |
|
You feel me? The birth of Lil B |
|
Is a prophet, I'm coming down, *************, y'all hollering |
|
Only ************* on TV, making rounds in the hood shopping |
|
I ain't never been gay, you feel me? |
|
You *************s out shopping, you *************s in the hood: |
|
I'm out here hooping, like it's no option |
|
- Lil Boss |
|
[Outro] |
|
I need this, baby |
|
My life for it |
|
I love you, ************* |
|
"Well, get ready for the game then, Lil B |
|
You seem like you focused and you more ready for the NBA than ever |
|
And you about to get your chance in the league |
|
So when you do, just make sure you prepared" |
|
Lil B legendary, I love you |
