Lil B - Gotta Make The NBA Lyrics
[Verse 1]I been in worse positionsI gotta keep my game faceI'm playing D-1 ball, I just got an injuryBut I won't stopCause I gotta see the NBAGotta see 12 ringsI gotta show that I'm greatWanna see the hall of fameI gotta do the drillsEveryday I'm in the gym doing reps, doing curlsHad a dream that I'd be a star up on the courtAnd its never too late to be a star, go startI will be up in practice dribbling two balls at one time like TrevorThey run six, I go sevenAnd I gotta pull my worth on the teamYeah, so my contract could be meanStadium full of fans screaming for meLive on TV, the game's on meActually the game's on us, because we winning as a teamBut that's a daydream, I'm still in the hood schemingTryna find a coach or a scout on a teamGo to D league, or play overseasOr play Drew league or a Forest U teamGon and sponsor me, I'm all in the gameOn points you got betterI'm leading a one way betterI'm just tryna get my cheddarI gotta get it togetherI dribble the ball late nightI miss my head up, I can't see, I gotta make the NBA[Hook] x10I gotta make the NBA[Verse 2]I just left the gym it was a late nightThe owner of the Grizzlies was walking outsideI got a little courage so I walked over to him, rightI told him that I ball and I'm niceHe said "You're alright but you need to get better."I said "What's wrong?" He said "You need to step up defenseAnd really be a leader on the court, You ain't near the status of the NBAWe can't afford a loss". He asked me if I'm connected to the NBAI said "Kinda, I know a dude named Ronnie 2KHe said if I play a hundred games and I win fiftyI got a shot at going to the league."Jeremy Lin, he made it from the D league if I'm correctI'm gonna follow his stepsOne life to live, I'm gonna be a baller, yes![Hook] x10I gotta make the NBA
