In this rap game, i'll get mad play
While im that free agent, it’s FA
OK see, they made their own cuts, you know i had to post it up, guess this that new dub, call this JP
they be the NBA trying to play me, all up in your RTZ
y’all weak as Harden D, bet Lavine couldn’t throw down hard as me
feel like OG convinced Carter plus the Carter 3
just been layin’ low, been doing’ my R&D
Buggin for a Lola, chill listenin’ to R&B
We could lay up, Redick or Thompson 3
Bibby on the mic, feelin’ vancouver grizzly
pardon me, I mean apart from me — like, who puts better bars to beats
and gets wilder on the mic than Charles Barkley
I cross words, Crawford, CP3
these benchwarmers comin for the starters seat
So who got next? (You got next!)
i guess it's me tonight, cuz last time somebody 5’9 brought kryptonite
between the lines just like this: Nate was clearing Dwight
put it on the webb like Spud, we gon’ dream, we gon’ leave all them judges stunned
Best believe that it's me who'll be pulling stunts,
and when they see that i’m flu game sick, imma hit em with a MJ shrug
you know they had to scheme in they huddles
way i’m taking shots that's deeper than curry from the tunnels
while they think of their rebuttals, i ain’t TD or Russell,
but catch me at your local Timmy’s getting that double double
jokes in your post - what? it it's the off season
i'll feed the post while postin’ the feed
feeling’s life’s He Got Game, i'm playing Jesus
spit like KG, screamin’ where the screen is
So who got next? (You got next!)
Rap game podcast longform, Durant was a longhorn
i was a sophomore at home before games at 4PM
workin my form watching more vids of Jordan, Coach Carter encores, and dreaming of 4th quarters until i was on floor
now i’m AI the way i get to the lines, and break em down how the rhymes get em shook
at times, i handle the talk how Chris Paul handle the rock, and then i feelin like magic, just singing my baby hooks, uh
These days I'm more Bll Murray than Steph Curry
No hurry, why I hit the gym early
Oh you in the gym wow, how you're so slimmed down
You trim now, that rim lookin real big now, ball out like K Low
body em! playin’ good D, except im reaching out
Tryna make a hit with the refs, while they speakin’ foul
Offensive, hanging on the net like a ledgie
John wall on the breaks, the way that they couldn't get me
These tracks go from DNP to MVP, I'm Javale McGee actin’ a fool
Lifes about taking shots, I mean following thru
Rap game Efren Reyes way I’m callin’ em too
So who got next? So who got next?
I'm on point on guard, on par with the monstars
Used to relive my glory days, now I write tomorrow's golden age
You're mistaken if this music is a dang phase
Squad been making tunes put that space jam in your jam space
When I was in my Kobe year, I was trying not to fadeaway
Now I feel the lane opening, the beat’s feeling like an open gym
game
