Allen Iverson

[Intro: Allen Iverson]
I'd be lying if I said, that it didn't bother me
You know, because of, I think
I created a, like with the mistakes that I've made in my life
That you know, I created a picture of me
That's, is not me
You know, I did a lot of things when I was young
That I'm not proud of but
I think those things helped me, be the man that I am now

[Verse 1: Don Trip]
When you come from nothing and turn it into a fortune
The people around you all want their portion
A couple mercedes, a couple of porsches
The bitches are shiesty so a couple abortions
Hoes gets slimy, they all like oysters
The media picking at you they all like vultures
And you on the pedestal, you gotta stay focused
Every move you make, it represents your culture
You wanna be normal, but that life’s over
Now you on tv, magazines and posters
Your represent gangstas, you represent soldiers
And they can’t stand you, why cause you not oprah
And you got tattoos, your hair cornrolled up
And they like “oh my” and you like “so what”
The world is cool but one thing it showed us
Whatever don’t kill us only makes us more tough

[Allen Iverson]
The talent that you've gave me
People wanted me to 35 years old right now
This guy with all his talent
This guy who has the effect on all these people in the World like this
We want them to be this way
Well, I didn't want to be that
What did you wanna do?
Me
And who is you
A human

[Verse 2: Don Trip]
In search of fame, at sanity’s cost
You a household name, but all privacy lost
You make a mistake, they hang you up on a cross
All of a sudden they forgot who you are
They forgot about all the times you hustled and fought
Please show me a king thats never suffered a loss
Or show me a man that never suffered a scar
And i’ll show you a man thats never given his all
I’ll show you man thats never given his heart
If I'm becoming a monster, it’s all yall fault
You can’t be a gentleman when you swimming with sharks
Shit, when you can be superman, who wanna be Clark Kent
Pour out my heart until I wind up heartless
Tryna become a father without having a father
They hate when you rise then celebrate when you fall
But throughout it all, I just ball

[Outro: Allen Iverson]
We sittin here and I'm supposed to be a franchise player
And we in here talking about practice
I mean, listen, we talkin bout practice
Not a game, not a game, not a game, we talkin about practice
Not a game, not the game that I go out there and die for
And play every game like its my last
Not a game, we talking about practice man
I mean, how silly is that?
We talking about practice
I know I'm supposed to be there
I know I'm supposed to lead by example
I know that
And I'm not shoving that aside, you know, like it don't mean anything
I know it's important, I do, I honestly do
But we talking about practice man
What we talking about? Practice
We talking bout practice man
