[Intro: Kobe Bryant]
If I gotta fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem
That's a problem, you want players that are gym rats, players that want to be in the gym, that wanna work...
And then, from there, you build on top of that
But if you're lazy, man, I don't wanna talk to you
I don't wanna deal with you
You're gonna make me feel dumber
You're gonna lower my level? I don't think so
You go over there
[Verse 1: Tha God Fahim]
I took initiative and bossed up, it was a must
A champion made in the gym, nothin' was given to us
I eat the heart out the weak and chop the head off a sheep
And lay the vocals down sleek, and give you death over beats
I'm a lеgend like The Lеgend of Zelda, they not familiar
Before they give advice to propel you, they'd rather kill you
So my mind fixated on righteousness and riches
But if it's war, I'll put another devil on my hit list
Keep sixteen in the clip and one in the head
My sixteen-bar verses from the land of the dead
I make the blind see, they mesmerized like Ashanti
Keep some diamonds on my neck, cooler than a Hi-C
Now I see, they get to hatin' from a distance
Offended by persistence 'cause my hustle is relentless
I play the cards to my advantage
While they fallin', I'm still standin'
I guess I'm what you call a real cannon
[Verse 2]
[Outro: Lil Wayne, Howard Stern, [?], Kobe Bryant]
Work, man, work
Fuck you wanna stand next to a n***a like me that really do it and you don't do it?
Get the fuck from about me, man
You feel me?
I could have a beautiful bitch next to me
I have a lot of hobbies
I love photography, I love listening to music, I love watching TV, I love taking long walks in the park!
But, you know what? First comes work
This guy is the best, how does that make you feel? I know you kinda [?]
He's very confident, but he's got to keep moving on, 'cause I know a lot of guys who've been number one in the past year that have just, like, fell off a cliff (Mhm)
So I have to keep working hard, and uh, hoping everything'll work out to be number one in the future
I never feared about my skill, you know, because I put in the work
And what are you fearing?
You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not
Work ethic eliminates fear, you know?
So if you put forth the work, then what are you fearing?
..and I got home, it was pro'bly like, three in the morning
And I went down to the high school, which was down from the street from my house
And the janitor let me in the gym, and I shot all day
All day
I mean all day
And this was right after that playoff game
And, um, I didn't leave the gym
I just kept shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting
And practicing, and practicing
