As Time Goes By
L.A. Jazz Trio Lyrics

I ball like Kobe
I am a skilled basketball player, comparable to Kobe Bryant in terms of ability.

Stepback like Ginobili
I can execute a basketball move known as a 'stepback' similar to Manu Ginobili, another NBA player known for his skill.

Rockstar life be calling
My lifestyle is flashy and glamorous, comparable to that of a rockstar.

Every day just keep balling
I continue to work hard and succeed with my basketball career every day.

I got lots of money
I have accumulated a substantial amount of wealth.

You want some? That’s too funny
I find it amusing that you would even consider asking for some of my money.

I’m done with your bitch so I passed her to the homie
I have ended my relationship with your significant other and allowed someone else to pursue her.

I just bought a brand new Gucci belt
I recently purchased an expensive, high-end fashion accessory from the brand Gucci.

I’m moved up and you just fell
I have progressed and moved forward while you have not done so, leaving you behind in terms of success.

Brand new chain for show and tell
I have acquired a recently made and flashy piece of jewelry to display to others.

Tossed your wishes in the well
I have given up on hoping for anything positive for you and have moved on.

First take was called lonely road
My initial attempt or beginning in my career was difficult and isolating.

Switched it up and changed my flows
I have altered my approach and style in order to improve and succeed.

Been hurt like Derrick Rose
I have been injured or suffered setbacks, similar to the NBA player Derrick Rose.

We’ll get better as time goes
Despite previous struggles, we will continue to improve as time passes.

Back on top, I got the bag
I have returned to a position of success and have obtained financial gain.

Never had to pop none of these tags
I have not needed to remove any tags from new items I have acquired, indicating the expensive nature of my possessions.

We’re moving up and you came in last
Our status and success is increasing while yours remains stationary or is declining.

Life’s so fun it’s moving fast
I am enjoying life and the passage of time feels quick.

Wearing all this jewelry my necks on froze
Having so much jewelry on my neck, I feel as though it is frozen or immobile due to the weight.

Summertime watching roses grow
I am taking time to appreciate and observe the beauty of nature during the summer season.

Getting better as time goes
Continuing to improve and progress as time passes.
