Mamba Out

Now go, put Jesus in the paint and shoot the fade
Going baseline, stick the tongue out let him know it's alright
If he don't play the D bro, tonight gon' be a long night
Score from anywhere, clean left or a strong right

If you could see the people, a lot of us just cried like
A super hero died like, in front of our own eyes type
I still can't believe it and nothing here can ease it
So prayers out to everyone and anyone who needs it

King of kings left his princesses and queen at home
The only one that went him was next in line for the throne
Maybe you were shocked when the Coptor was rolling over
But I know your instincts told ya to hold Gigi and console her

I can't imagine what was even going through your mind
But I know you fought the fear and told everyone it'd be fine
So-Rest the souls of everyone else inside of the heli
Zubayan, Mauser, the Chesters and Altobellis
Rest in Peace

When we came to America, basketball was the passion
The year that I was born was the same year that you were drafted
My brother was the one to introduce Mak to Kobe
Saw you win rings with Shaq and a couple of trophies

Then you had some downfalls on and off the court
But you ignored the crowd talk cause you cared more about the sport?
That's my idol, imagine that savage with that survival
Slandered everyday but still managed to gather titles

You the Goat, taught us all how we should take life by the throat
Even if we feeling down we got some time to find hope
When your backs against the rope grip your teeth and show your dope
When your final game is close just get a sixty piece and go

That's that mamba mentality figure father for family
Business man living happily after we saw his mastery
Damn, blessings to Vanessa and the Fam
If y'all ever need a hand, we'll help anyway we can
Rest in Peace
