I was just a kid when I seen Kobe played
Back in 96 I was blown away
Proud wear a Jersey he was number 8
Its heavy on my heart but I don't show the pain
I remember you were sitting on that bench next to Phil Jackson you Dakotas ever since
If I had to pick Jordan or Kobe, you what it is we repping LA homie
You was born in Phily but you one of us
The whole city knows who the black Mamba was
The year 2000 we got the first parade we was happy we forgot the about the murder rate
Everybody in the streets with the Lakers flag, we cherished every moment when you played with Shack
2001 NBA finals you did it once again defeated the rivals
Mobbing with my 24 Jersey
Mobbing with my number 8 jersey
Light it up
Light it up for Kobe Bryant yeah!
Light it up
Light it up for Kobe Bryant yeah!
Back when I couldn't afford Lakers seats, 2002 was a three peet
Kobe gave us all the love that the streets need, always made it happen with them big threes
When Shaq left we never doubted you, we was by your side throwing up the W
It didn't matter if we took a loss, you made it happen once you linked up with Pau Gasol
61 points kid nobody see you, purple and the gold yeah! smashing every season
All we wanted was an autograph, so legendary he could do it on a Dodger cap
Kobe you forever be a role model, tonight we drinking up the whole bottle
I hope we get to see you again, it'll never be the same without you in the gym
