Another day, another win for Miami Heat fans. The newly-minted No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference — sorry, Indiana readers — has another prize to chat up: a rap song by The King himself, LeBron James.
As TMZ reports, No. 6 hit the studio last summer in Ohio with childhood pal and aspiring rapper Sian Cotton to record a track titled, “Kingdom”. The jam remixes Jay Z‘s “Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit” off last year’s forgettable Magna Carta Holy Grail, only James tones down the hook to say: “Roll with us ’cause you know we got it.”
“We were working out together and LeBron said ‘let’s get in the booth.’ I said ‘I’m going tonight’, so he came to the studio,” Cotton told TMZ. “We were just having fun. Bron had jotted some notes down earlier, and he finished his verse in the studio.”
Here’s the full transcription:
I just docked us off of France killa
Shots so bright I got a tan killa
Try to catch up it’s a waste of time (waste of time, waste of time)
I grind you hard let you take mine (never, never)
AP watch drop next month (month, month)
60 racks on ya wrist to stunt (stunt, stunt)
Fall back before you fall out
My team eating, the rest of y’all drought (drought, drought)
Say what you want about the king,
Got money, got cribs, got whips, and oh yeaaa (bleeped) got 2 rings (2 rings, 2 rings)
Cribs sick, tall like, Costco’s,
Gotta keep getting that Robert, DeNiro, don’t fear you
I understand you can’t compete bro, but you see here, is royalty,
You can’t beat me, ya better join me, over at six feet, underneath (underneath, underneath)Where my crown Shi (where my crown Shi, where my crown Shi)
Stream the track below. Who knows, maybe it’ll end up on the Space Jam 2 soundtrack. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that 305 grabs home court advantage and download Cotton’s new mixtape here.
