Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Pull it back, Kobe
Pull it back, Kobe

Swish, I don't even gotta look, I take the shot and–yeah
Swish, I don't even touch the rim when I pull up, it's just
Swish, backboard wet, only thing I know is
Swish, pull it back, Kobe

Rest in peace to the Mamba and baby Gigi
Still remember where I was standin' after the three-peat
Shooters lined up yellin': Kobe, but playin' peewee
Who you know that shoot a free throw right after the G League?
Killer, number 8 was crazy, but 24 was scary
Respect his name or else he might show up like Bloody Mary
Won't forget the things he mentioned, how to get a Larry
Whatever necessary, he tried to help prepare me
They tell us never look into the eyes of a killer
I did it outta respect for the greatest at Staples Center
The closest thing to MJ, and no, I ain't talkin' Thriller
It ain't a iron team, but if I'm in it, please remember

Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Pull it back, Kobe
Pull it back, Kobe
Swish, I don't even gotta look, I take the shot and–yeah
Swish, I don't even touch the rim when I pull up, it's just
Swish, backboard wet, only thing I know is
Swish, pull it back, Kobe

I'm in LA where they hoopin', since a jit been gettin' buckets
I say: Kobe, then I clutch it, turn up soon as I touch it
Mamba mentality, yeah, I just work, I don't vacay
I'm the first in, then I stay late, pack arenas on the way
248, I been starvin', I'm hungry
Ain't no doubt about my work, I'm ready for the moment
Me against myself, no, I don't see y'all as opponents
You gon' get it, you can make it happen if you want it
So I work as hard as I can, been did it for the fans
It don't always go as planned, but you gotta play your hand
Level up, level up, in your heart I'm a regular
Kobe the GOAT, the Mamba, et cetera
If we got smoke, no choke, forever

Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Pull it back, Kobe
Pull it back, Kobe
Swish, I don't even gotta look, I take the shot and–yeah
Swish, I don't even touch the rim when I pull up, it's just
Swish, backboard wet, only thing I know is
Swish, pull it back, Kobe

Shot clock and it's gettin' late, crossover then hesitate
Skate by him like a figure eight, whoever there, dunk bait
Give me the ball, can't wait, catch 'em all with the pump fake
Money good, that's number 8, clutch time, hard in the paint
Purple and gold like a legend, stone cold, ain't no question
Five-time champion, legacy etched in perfection
Changed the number, still the same hunger
Many tried him, but came up short, no wonder
24, king of the court, I'ma need backup, mission abort
You do not know me, you cannot hold me
Dribble left, then right, pull it back, Kobe

Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Ever since a young boy, I've been gettin' buckets
Pull it back, Kobe
Pull it back, Kobe
Swish, I don't even gotta look, I take the shot and–yeah
Swish, I don't even touch the rim when I pull up, it's just
Swish, backboard wet, only thing I know is
Swish, pull it back, Kobe
Back, Kobe
