lyrics

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 jewelry
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 rocking purple & gold

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
