[Verse 1: Azad Right]
First love was basketball, joined the team round third grade
I was too young for the, sign ups so we, lied about my birthday
But I still balled, short kid so to me everybody real tall
Coming off the bench, I was like the tenth man but I still got steals dog
I stuck with it, my game kinda s**ed
But I worked hard as f** so they f**ed with it
The young homie, I was always on call
Like hit me when you tryna get them runs homie
The first to the park but the last to get picked
The story of my life, ain't that some sh**
I ain't got no height, I ain't no bounce
And I can't shoot the three? Ain't that a b**h
Man, I hated training, f** the weight room sh**, I stayed complaining
I never saw results so I stayed impatient
I quit playing ball man, I lost myself for a while, gotta thank the
Amazing grace of
The Hip-Hop Gods for converting me over to the dark side
It split me and my crew down the middle like Apartheid so you know I had to let the song cry
I guess we found out where my heart lies huh
You can still see where the scars lie bruh
Look, 5'10 with the soul of a 6'6 cat with a 7 ft wingspan
I still got game like an 06 Kobe, I don' need no muhf**ing wingman
The mic is my ball and the stage is my court
And LA is my home, I'm the Kingpin, homie
The king with the pen, get it? Don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to my city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me
King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team so the out of towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming...
[Hook: Azad Right]
I still got hoop dreams (Hoop… Dreams)
X4
King with the pen, get it, don't forget it
When I'm spitting, never timid, man I made it outta Venice
Traveling the world, still committed to the city
And the windows never tinted, see everybody wit' me
King with the pen, double cup of Henny
And the Lakers are my team, so the outta towners envy
No matter where we are, still committed to the city
And everybody wit me screaming…
