Way back in ninety six, on the high school team
This guy was really tall, his name was Kobe Bean
He stood at 6' 7", like he's made of wood
You give the boy the ball, and he plays real good
But basketball, it didn't teach the rules to well
Because he's up for assault, and he might go to jail

No no!
No Kobe, no, no.
No no, Kobe no.
No Kobe no, no
No Kobe no, no, no.
Kobe be good!

He plays for the Lakers and he runs with Shaq
Gets above the rim with his slam attack
Little girl called about the move he made
Said, "This ain't the way the games supposed to be played"
People passing by they would stop and say
"If Kobe did the crime, then Kobe's got to pay"

No no!
No Kobe, no, no.
No no, Kobe no.
No Kobe no, no
No Kobe no, no, no.
Kobe be good!

(Guitar Solo)

Well his mother told him someday you will be a man
You'll go and play the game and have a million fans
Many people coming from miles around
To watch you play the game until the clock runs down
It looks like Kobe Bryant might be in for a fight
Might end up in jail tonight

No no!
No Kobe, no, no.
No no, Kobe no.
No Kobe no, no
No Kobe no, no, no.
Kobe be good!

No no!
No Kobe, no, no.
No no, Kobe no.
No Kobe no, no
No Kobe no, no, no.
Kobe be good!
