Intro Iverson
Verse: I cross a nigga like A.I.. to ankles I'm a killer/ like Iverson to Jordan, or Iguodala to Miller/ my eagle eye on the scrilla/ I'm trying to get paid, like I'm chilling in the shade, like my name was Agent Zero/ look, started off a hero, but they don't like your vision/ labeled you a villain all because of your decision/ anoint you as a king/ by the time you're 17/ then the public get steamed/ because you dream of 8 rings/ championship bling, I respect the hustle/ I'm trying to do 3 for the thumbs like Bill Russell/ nigga's wanna tussle?/ Got Dwight Howard muscle/ stun you/ like Willis Reed limpin through the tunnel/ what you think I don't know my facts? I was sitting next to Jack watching Kobe and Shaq/ I was chillin next to Spike yellin at Reggie and Mike/ when Ron Arrest got ill/ I was ducking at Auburn Hills/ for real
Iverson speaks
Verse (2): I treat the beat like a court and run suicides mentally/ sprinting line-to-line/ I tap the pine until it splinters me/ practice makes perfect it'll all be worth it eventually/ never giving up, even if I'm down a century/ I'm built like Wilt, I can score a grip/ but just for kicks, I think I'll lead the league in assists/ I aint never one for faking man/ my name Kareem Bryant I was born to be a Lakers fan/ just call me doctor skyhook/ but the Kareem knows Magic I mastered the no look/ more Worthy than if I had a 42 on my jersey/ Conceit masters the beat/ complete like Pistol Pete/ elite/ my first step will leave you beat like Kobe/ I have you on skates, hit the brakes, and yell out Ginobiliiiii/ tell the ref to jump the rock and get started/ nigga's practice at the Rucker to run games at the Garden/
Iverson speaks
Verse (3): It's stranger than fiction/ this lifes an addiction/ I've been ballin/ since I've been crawling/ I've been scouring since I was an infan/t never played my position/ son I preach to the Reverend/ even though I'm Spud Webbin/ a play like I'm 6-11/ stay on my toes like Muggsy Bogues with the D/ teller gave me the key so the bank is open for three/ you ain't heard? /I might go Larry Bird in a hurry/ I'm a warrior that's quick to shoot ...Steph Curry/ even if I'm off the mark, I still Jack - son I aint hesitant/ I got the green light, like I was riding with the president/ my role players, don't want glory they get the picture/ hit the big shot like Robert Horry or Derek Fisher/ ... Yo homie pass me the rock/ I make him BBQ chicken like I was live with Ak(inyele)/ hit'em with the Mutombo finger wag right after the block/ go A.B.A./ for the day/ and Dr. J. the socks/ pulled my shorts up, blow the fro out, throw on some Converse/ My flow honest, I ain't never spit a con-verse /let me explain son my aim/ is the fame/ George Gervin frame/ homie I got ice in my veins/ all these rappers is(are) actors reading a script/ playing Blue Chips/ but I'm the number one draft pick/ and son this is just Practice the game I can't get in/ but if I do I'll make the most of it like Jeremy Lin/ that's a win Nigga
