The Answer (Tribute to Allen Iverson)

Man you tell me something, thats a good idea, right
They talk about NBA, they talk about something..
Everything is wrong in music in basketball
everything is wrong man nowadays,
so that's my story

[Verse 1]:
So many kids on them courts got em cornrows
But they never know who brought em to the NBA first
Allen Iverson... you can't deny it son
 [bad word] David Stern's privacy, ima bring it on
He got blacklisted, whatever dawg
Cuz i still miss him, he's in my heart
Nobody knows wusup, i see just hate
You [bad word] practice, i'm in the game
 [bad word] nowadays NBA, [bad word] dress code
You said rap turned [bad word] as well as basketball
They don't wanna play D, they rather flop
And those who play they got whistled for foul
The little man with big heart did it all
He played his heart out on the both ends of the floor, no doubt
He got that MVP award
You kids gotta pay homage to the one you taught from

[Chorus]:
You got a question dawg - i got the answer
I spread so quick and i'm sick like cancer
I rep Brick City but still got love for Philly
Seventy-sixers is the answer to them kids

[Verse 2]:
I don't wanna know whether he got money or not
You [bad word] like discussing whether he's a bankrupt
Go buy his jersey and throw some in
You like seing people fall, you establish your ego
Nothing bigger than hate, where is your love
You forgot them Finals in 2001
Now all you got is:
"Look at that [bad word]  he can't even get himself a cheesburger"
He got around 30 tattoos all over his body
His baggy clothes make him look thuggish for real
 [bad word] illuminati talk, he's the real
He not sounded [bad word]  neither rock skinny jeans
 [bad word] everything, [bad word]  fake basketball, fake people
Awww i'm desperate
Sometimes it's best to cry
Still only the strong survive, survive

[Chorus].

[Talking]:
Hey yo,
We talk about love, we talk about hate, we talke about support
We talk about greatest players in the NBA history
We talk about Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James
Why the [bad word] we don't talk about Allen Iverson though?
He inspired so many kids all over the world
to play the game of basketball and we forgot him
What the [bad word] is it man? Yo, i'm out
No no no no, i got something else to say
You know, it's just painful to see that the guy
He's still capable of playing in the strongest and the best basketball league
But he got blacklisted, [bad word] that
you know i see him crying when he comes to Philadelphia
Because he got heart for the city, he got heart for the game of basketball

[Chorus].

[Iverson talks]:
I'll be lying if i say that it didn't bother me
Because i.. i think... i created uh... like lotta mistakes that i made in my life
I created a picture of me.. that's.. that's not me
I did alotta things when i was young
that i'm not proud of
But i think those things helped me to be the man that i am now
And you know the last couple of years been hell
Because all i wanna do is.. play basketball
