He said, I was stuck in Colorah-do
So I thought I'd play the lotto
While I hit on girls who worked in my hotel
I can STILL hear the voices
Readin' off my choices
All five of my numbers
The Powerball as well

I asked him when he real-ized
That - he had really won the big prize
How's it hitcha - when you get that kind of news?
Man whadja do?

And he said

I bought - white lions
I bought - Polynesian islands
Bought a team of Playmate stylists
Just to trim my Fu Manchu
I learned - beer's sweeter
Served on - cheerleaders
Bought my - wife's forgiveness with a big diamond
And he said, Hey dude I finally got the chance
To live like Kobe Bryant

He said, I bought twelve or thirteen Hummers
Trashed one a week all summer
& Pimped the PINK one with a full Olympic pool
I got a head-to-toe conversion
From my live-in plastic surgeon
Called up EV-ry girl I'd lost to say SCREW you

Well I - I got the wife big implants
Bought some - custom pure gold - sweat pants
I joined some cults and made Phil Jackson teach me Zen
And then

I bought - Rhode Island
I bought - loads of Paraguayans
I ran - naked through the office
Bustin' raps from Shaq Fu 2
Now my - home thee-ter's
Decked like - Saint Peter's
And my - teeth have bling that's totally giant
And he said, I suck at hoops but here's my chance
To live like Kobe Bryant

Then I went to cash it in
But there was no TICKet there; the lawyers said Whadja do with it?
What did you do with it?
What did I do with it?
Why did I screw with it?

I'm - hidin'
'Cause my - credit's kinda slidin'
They just - repossessed my monkeys
And shaved off my Fu Manchu
Now my - new bedroom
Is the - zoo restroom
And my - wife disowned me when I stopped buyyyin'
But he said, Hey dude at least I had the chance
To live like Kobe Bryant

To live like Kobe Bryant
To live like Kobe Bryant
To live like Kobe Bryant
To live like Kobe Bryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyant
