I just wanna be great
Won't settle for 2nd place
It's ice water in my veins
I'm talking kobe number 8
I'm just tryna create
And carve out my own lane
In other words change the game
And all they do is copy paste
Before I start this verse
Man rest in peice to my idol
He 6' 6 in height
But stood taller than the ifle
Even legends gotta die
That's life its just a cycle
The greatest to ever do it
Go ahead and give em the title
Who you think
You think you stopping
You softer than cotton
Come your town and do numbers
Like Im Kobe in garden
Haters reaching acting foul
I cook em like James Harden
To get to where I am
Lets go back to I where started
Since a youngin
Always looked up to bean
I landed on my first team
When he had first Hit the scene
5 years later
We both had our injuries
Always felt connected to you
Man as weird as that seems Graduated college
Same year you retired
From the league
I was depressed as hell
Damn its really bout to be over
The 2nd to last game
I drove out to Oklahoma
Paid me 100 dollars
And you only played quarter
Ain't gonna lie
Man I was in my feelings
But half of me was just happy
That I was in the building
I tuned into the last game
I know you bout to killem
And in proper goat fashion
Man you spazzed and
Dropped 60 on them niggas
As hurt as I was
When you finally retired
Ain't got nothing on how I felt
When I had read that you died
First thing popped in my mind
Is that it gotta be lies
They confirmed it was true
Surprisingly I ain't cry
Cuz my brain won't let me process
That you no longer alive
Man this gotta be
The longest case of denial
I know one day Its gon hit me
Like a ton bricks
But untill then man
I guess I'll just leave you with this
I just wanna be great
Won't settle for 2nd place
It's ice water in my veins
I'm talking kobe number 8
I'm just tryna create
And carve out my own lane
In other words change the game
And all they do is copy paste
So before I end this song
Man rest in peice to my idol
He 6' 6 in height
But stood taller than the ifle
Even legends gotta die
That's life its just a cycle
The greatest to ever do it
Go ahead and give em the title
