Kobe Bryant
Lil Wayne Lyrics

I want to be the best
I have an intense desire to be the greatest

I want to be the best that ever played
My goal is to surpass all others who have played before me

That's why I play the game
The reason I participate in basketball is to achieve greatness

And to be the best you have to win
Victory is the ultimate measure of greatness

That's what drives me
It is this pursuit of victory that motivates me

He's the best player in the game
Kobe Bryant is widely recognized as the greatest player currently active

It's just that simple
There is no complexity in this fact

There's nothing that Kobe Bryant can't do
Kobe Bryant possesses the ability to excel in all aspects of the game

He will defend your best player
Kobe Bryant will guard the opposing team's most skilled offensive player

He will shoot from the perimeter
Kobe Bryant has a lethal outside shooting ability

He will get all in your mug
He will aggressively challenge and disrupt his opponent's offensive game

He will do whatever it takes
Kobe Bryant is willing to go to any lengths necessary to succeed

He is the most complete basketball player
Kobe Bryant possesses exceptional skills and abilities in every aspect of the game

In the game today, bar none
Among all the players currently active, there is none who surpasses Kobe Bryant

He has an assassin's mentality
Kobe Bryant possesses a ruthless and relentless mindset

Who's starving more for an NBA World Championship
No one desires to win an NBA World Championship more than Kobe Bryant

More than Kobe Bryant? There is no one
No other player has a greater hunger and drive than Kobe Bryant

This guy is highly motivated
Kobe Bryant is incredibly driven and determined

What separates Kobe from the pack?
What distinguishes Kobe Bryant from the rest of the players?

More than Kobe Bryant, there is no one
No other player surpasses Kobe Bryant in terms of performance and achievement

Kobe doin' work
Kobe Bryant is actively excelling and achieving success

Two four on my shirt
The number 24 is displayed on my jersey

He the greatest on the court
Kobe Bryant is the greatest player in the game of basketball

And I'm the greatest on the verse
I am the greatest rapper or lyricist

Going for the 4th ring like it was his first
Kobe Bryant is pursuing his fourth championship with the same hunger and passion as his first

Gotta get the bling
I must acquire championship rings and achieve greatness

Do it for Kareem
I aim to achieve success and honor for my team and the legacy of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Two-four so nice, my flow so mean
The number 24 is significant and my rap style is aggressive and impressive

Catch me at the game sitting next to Goldestein
You can find me attending basketball games seated next to Jerry Buss and enjoying the experience

Kobe Bryant Nikes, purple gold strings
I wear Kobe Bryant signature Nike shoes with purple and gold shoe laces, representing the Lakers' colors

Kobe in the game dunking on your team
Kobe Bryant dominates the basketball game by making powerful dunks over the opposing team

Black Mamba, attack conquer
Kobe Bryant is compared to a venomous black mamba snake, aggressively attacking and conquering his opponents

Basketball beast, rap monster
Kobe Bryant is a dominant force in basketball and a powerhouse in the rap music industry

Crossover good, a turnaround jumper
Kobe Bryant executes a skilled cross-over dribble move and follows it with a quick turnaround jump shot

Or just drive in the lane and dunk on dunkers
Kobe Bryant fearlessly attacks the basketball court, driving into the lane and dunking on defenders

You know where it's going, it's goin' down, yo
You are fully aware that Kobe Bryant's actions and performance will lead to success

This is the Lakeshow, but don't drown though
The Los Angeles Lakers team is putting on a captivating and thrilling performance, but spectators must not get overwhelmed by it

I call him King Bryant, now let the crown show
I refer to Kobe Bryant as a king, and now let his exceptional abilities and achievements be recognized

I'm definitely, I'm just lost for words
I am truly amazed and find it difficult to express my admiration

I mean, he's amazing
He is truly extraordinary and awe-inspiring

Pass me the damn ball
Give me the ball immediately

I don't need a pick at all
I do not require a screen from a teammate to create opportunities

And don't worry 'bout my shot
You need not be concerned about my shooting ability

'Cause I'ma get that off
I am confident in my ability to successfully execute my shot

Yea, I drops 40 on your double team
I consistently score 40 points even with two defenders attempting to stop me

Then I drop 81 on another team
In a single game, I scored an astonishing 81 points against another team

Yeah, you better guard me with caution
Opposing players must approach guarding me with great care and caution

And watch I work em like a auction
Observe how effortlessly I outperform my opponents, as if I am auctioning off my skills

No such thing as exhaustion
I am never drained or fatigued, both physically and mentally

No time for resting
There is no opportunity for me to take a break or rest

'Cause I don't take breaks
I do not allow myself to take breaks or pause my efforts

I just break records
My achievements consist of continuously surpassing and setting records

And I prefer the ball with three seconds
Given the limited time of three seconds, I excel in making crucial shots

And I bet we gone win it all in three seconds
I am confident that my team will emerge as the ultimate champions within the remaining three seconds of a game

Ya dig? That is a guarantee
Do you understand? This is an absolute assurance of our success

And please tell your defense
Kindly inform your defensive players

Don't ever man to man with me
They should not attempt to guard me one-on-one

Double team, triple team
Even when two or three defenders converge on me

Your defenders sick of me
Your defenders have become frustrated and fatigued by my dominance

But, I never let 'em get to me
I never allow their frustration or tactics to affect my performance

Literally
This is indeed the case

Step back and give 'em a three
Taking a step back, I confidently execute a three-point shot

Ain't no defending me
There is no effective defense against my exceptional playing ability

One guy certainly envious of the way Bryant's played lately
One individual is undeniably jealous of Kobe Bryant's recent performances

Lebron James
That individual is LeBron James

I've been recorded saying that
I have openly expressed this sentiment in previous public statements

He's definitely the best player in our league
He undeniably holds the title of the best player in our professional basketball league

Um, to me, in my eyes
From my perspective, and in my opinion

The best scorer in our league
Kobe Bryant is the most exceptional and proficient scorer in our basketball league

And there's not another guy in our league
No other player in the league can compare to him

That can accomplish some of the things
No other player can achieve the same level of accomplishments

That he's doing
That Kobe Bryant is currently achieving

Never take a day off
I never skip a day of practicing or playing

Catch you at the top of the key
I will find you positioned at the top of the key, ready to receive a pass

And get a J off
I will quickly and smoothly execute a jump shot

Baseline face time
I score near the baseline while displaying my face to the crowd

Tongue out like two-three
I stick out my tongue in a similar manner to Michael Jordan's iconic image

Even two-three gotta love how I do me
Even Michael Jordan, represented by the number 23, must admire and appreciate my individual playing style

Practice while you sleep
I dedicate myself to practicing even when others are resting or sleeping

Practice in my sleep
I am so immersed in basketball that it becomes part of my subconscious even during sleep

Straight outta high school
I entered the NBA directly after graduating from high school

The brackets ain't for me
Traditional college basketball tournaments, represented by the brackets in March Madness, were not my path

I will be jumping over you
I possess the ability to physically leap over defenders

Like I got a mattress at my feet
I effortlessly jump as if I have a supportive mattress under my feet

And all the Phil Jackson teams
Throughout all the teams coached by Phil Jackson

Better be passing it to me
My teammates should prioritize passing the ball to me

I put the master in the beat
I excel and dominate the game, becoming the master of the basketball court

Attack you like a beast
I aggressively confront and overpower my opponents like a ferocious beast

I am starving for victory
I possess an intense hunger and desire for triumph

And that means I'ma eat
Achieving victory satisfies and nourishes me

And when they ask you who's the best
When people inquire about the greatest player

Then the answer should be me
The correct response should be my name

Who's the best player in the NBA?
Who is the most exceptional player in the NBA?

Um, I'll say Kobe Bryant
Well, I would confidently state that Kobe Bryant holds that title

Really? Why?
Truly? What are the reasons for your choice?

'Cause you never know what you're gonna get
Because Kobe Bryant consistently surprises and impresses with his performances

Call me Mr. Clutch or Mr. Automatic
Refer to me as Mr. Clutch or Mr. Automatic, highlighting my ability to perform well under pressure

I can post 'em up, or Lamar go get the ally
I am capable of playing effectively in the post, or I can pass the ball to Lamar Odom for an alley-oop

I'm going for the ring
I am actively pursuing a championship ring

I went to Beijing
I represented my country in the Beijing Olympics

And came back with the bling
I returned with the gold medal, symbolizing victory and accomplishment

Who they want?
Who do they desire or prefer?

They want Kobe
They prefer Kobe Bryant

And what he want?
What does Kobe Bryant want?

He wants the trophy
He desires the championship trophy

The victory
Humiliating an opponent with a crushing victory

And the glory
The recognition and prestige that comes with success

No Shaq
I am successful without the assistance of Shaquille O'Neal

No Robert Horry
I do not rely on Robert Horry's clutch performances

Now break 'em off, Kobe break 'em off, yeah
Now defeat and outperform the opponents, Kobe, defeat and outperform them

You better be where that Laker don't
You should position yourself where the Lakers' defense cannot reach

Yeah, just give him the ball and he take it off, yeah
Simply pass the ball to Kobe Bryant and he will swiftly advance towards the basket

Or he properly dishing it to Gasol, yeah
Alternatively, he intelligently passes the ball to Pau Gasol for an easy score

Or give it to D-Fish on the wing, yeah
Or he passes the ball to Derek Fisher positioned on the wing, ready to shoot

Or just let lil' Ariza do his thing, yeah
Or he allows Trevor Ariza to showcase his skills, trusting him to succeed

'Cause I'm great, and so is my team, yeah
Because I am exceptional, and my team is also outstanding

I thought you want to be the greatest
I thought you aspire to become the greatest player

Do it for Magic
I aim to honor and uphold the legacy of Magic Johnson

It's your time, baby
Now is your opportunity to shine and achieve success

I see nothing wrong with doin' it four times baby
I perceive no issues in winning the championship four times

I'm the best, yes
I am undoubtedly the best player

And he the best, yeah
Additionally, Magic Johnson is also the best

Don't worry LeBron, get 'em next year
Do not fret LeBron, you will have another opportunity to succeed next year

Now what's defense
Now, let us consider the concept of defense

To an assassin?
Is defense a significant obstacle for an aggressive attacker?

Killer instinct
A fierce and relentless attitude in pursuit of victory

Murder the basket
To effectively and decisively score points

Then steal the ball back
Subsequently, recover the ball through a successful steal from the opponent

Hold it for ransom
Maintain possession of the ball and demand a concession from the opposing team

It's more than a game
Basketball holds a deeper significance and purpose

This is a passion
It is a profound and enduring enthusiasm

Been a All-Star, been a Champion
I have achieved the status of an All-Star player and a champion

Free throw line, you hear 'em chanting
When standing at the free throw line, I am surrounded by supporters chanting my name

M-V-P, M-V-P
They chant 'Most Valuable Player, Most Valuable Player'

Kobe Bryant aka Envy Me
I am known as Kobe Bryant, also recognized as the object of envy due to my skills and achievements

In knee deep, smash any D
I am deeply immersed in the game, and I easily defeat any defense

Whoever he is he can't guard me
Regardless of the opponent, none of them can successfully defend against me

He can't guard me
The opponent cannot effectively defend against me

So, there you have it, the overwhelming answer was Kobe Bryant
In conclusion, the unanimous response is that Kobe Bryant is the ultimate answer or choice
