Happy birthday to our post 2000 goat
Kobe Bean Bryant
Black Mamba
Martin Luther Bean Jr.
In honor of your bday @CantStop and I wanna bring back some old ode's to your dominance.
Dear Mamba
When I was young me and a classmate had beef
He said Iverson was better cuz he came from the streets
Back at the time I swung and hit him in his face
God sent me a sign that you were taking Jordan's place
Suspended from school, scared to go home
I was a fool with the big boys breaking all the rules
I shed tears with my lil cousin
Im not ashamed, we still hurt from Mike leaving the game
And the Lakers had another player, that made drama
But things went wrong they blamed Mamba
I reminisce on the stress you felt, it was Hell
Sitting in a Colorado jail cell
And who'd think when you was winning rings
Heeey, you'd see the penitentiary, one day
Bored in Colorado, thats right
Tried to put it in a hotel workers backside
And even with the rape case, Mamba
You still scored at an insane pace, Mamba
I finally understand, you the best on the team, but they called Shaq the man
You always was committed
Practiced 6 hours 6 days a week, tell me how you did it
And theres no way we could pay you back
But the plan is to show you that we overstan
You are appreciated

Now aint nobody tell us it was fair
No love for Michael Jordan cause the brother wasnt there
So when he retired, i had no love for him
I said "sell your fu*king sneakers to Republicans"
They say I'm wrong and it's hate yall
But when we needed him, he was playing baseball
I hung around with the thugs, but i aint help em sell drugs
Because they showed Jordan love
You got pissed and started really chucking
Shaq left and the Lakers were severly sucking
But you aint guilty cuz even when you brick shots
There's always the chance that you could get hot
I love watching games when you dont pass
I'd tell my boys, "no homo, Kobe showing ass"
Cuz when you was low, they tried to down you
81 points 2 assists, they tried to clown you
And I could see you coming home after late games
Mad about Lebron's propoganda campaign
You just working with the scraps Nike giving
Remember when you locked Ray Allen up on Thanksgiving?
But now the road got rough, youre alone
Carrying kwame, smush, and luke on your own
And there's no way I could pay you back
But the plan is to show you that we overstan
You are appreciated

Pour out some Gatorade and reminisce
Cuz through the trauma i can always depend on my Mamba
And when the gsme seems hopeless
You hit a fadeaway to give your team focus
When he was sick as a little kid
Make a wish foundation, what a thing you did
So in his childhood memories
Kobe is the 06 MVP
And even though you ball hoggin
Them bad shots fall pretty often
There are no words that could express how I feel
You hit a game winner
And I appreciate so I'm supporting
Cuz one day you'll have more points than Jordan
I wish I could do your fadeway
It once was dark, now we made it to a brighter day
Knew everything would be alright if we hold on
Now I see defenders getting finger rolled on
And there's no way I could pay you back
But my plan is to show you that we overstan
You are appreciated
