I'm catching King James' scrutiny with that Skip Bayless fluency For cadence spit fluidly, This is Kane next to Schoolly D Composing with no truancy from disdain and mutiny At policing making black folk a bit famous brutally As rappers, they expected me with thick chains of jewellery Instead they got a servant with a kick game that's lunacy With news that Christ's resurrection's the greatest eulogy Foreshadow genius like Jordan with his game at UNC Independently wealthy, dropping gems that's healthy All I need is a Killer Mike to Run The Jewels on El-P's Among the lonely people, I taught gifts I established To kids with passion while mellon-collie with infinite sadness Like that Billy Corgan classic describing injustice we face You shoot a Jacob Blake and catch no charges in police states This country's ripe for outreach, this mouthpiece Ain't worried some saints ain't Cavalier I took my talents to that South Beach I got at least 81 points to prove My mamba mentality that's been anointed to Sacrifice for excellence with every joint I do Yeah, Kobe was my Muse too, with no clue His helicopter crash would change the whole year And all these dirty coppers blast who we hold dear Through all of this we got a mask to control fear Still I'm trusting God who got our backs or we're nowhere Yeah When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone Bred to be the raging bull, I aim to hit you I might do it with my tongue out, MJ edition With my words so you should be all ears, I stayed official From 'The Jump', I bring 'The Truth' like Paul Pierce, ask Rachel Nichols Sharper than 'Claws' starring Karreuche or Kawhi's before And know that I'm a T-Rex if you view me a dinosaur With rhymes galore, among the Supremes like I'm Diana Ross Or Conway 'cause this Machine is spittin' with all types of raw Content, faith based like a convent Until I'm ash that you put on your face upon lent Renegade for certain, all NBA with the verbiage That'll drop the hammer on you like LBJ did to Nurkic You're Swae-Lee, I'm more AZ Over your head like Clippers, you're Pat Bev' trying to guard KD I'm 'A Written Testimony' that ain't Tana Talk 3 It's John 8 verse 36 to have the captives walk Free I come straight as a crucifix so the masses thoughts be On many waves of truth with this, so they parrot on key With that Kobe work ethic, I am ferocious Nah, my work ethic is Black Panther post-cancer diagnosis With limited time to change your spirit & mind Towards Christ who died and rose in the physical kind To save you from the hurt in your soul So you can be with the King with 5 rings rockin' purple & gold And you know.... When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone When I shoot my shot, I'm a name it Kobe Man in the arena, I'm a be Lebron I wanna be like Mike to be the one & only For God's glory then I'm gone, gone, gone
