I got lockdown defense so don’t try to get mental
Check ya I’m with the extras, I’m eurostepping and flexing

Got a little shine now you think you hotter than ovens
You are not the type that these other playas are idolize
And if you’re hoopin, you’re doo doo I’m poop scoopin’
Hope it doesn’t rain, since I caved the roof in

I know you seen me skate I got nothin’ but decks

Bring the sounds you recorded back to PhD Monk

Here are the rap lines needed to complete this part:

Whenever, wherever. Soon as I tough the leather
Like your kindergarten teacher, I’m giving L’s for free
And I’mma take the rock like I went in that man’s wallet
Crazy how he laced up for the wall of shame
And don’t mumble it’s a concrete jungle
I call a iso, then I put the icing on
Take off from a free throw, take off the durag
Cross-over, half-spin, hit ’em with the hop skip
How you gonna stop this nah how you gonna top this?
2K, who you’re dealing with? You know I’m a savage
The rock ain’t safe, I’ll take the money out your dresser
You know who I am I’m a national treasure

Meet Bas at Dreamville

Here are the rap lines needed to complete this part:

Leave em frozen when I pull up for the jumper
It’s the playoffs, play y’all? Y’all beginners
My arm in the rim look at shorty below
Like Dr. J’s afro you getting blowed out
"Smile for the camera" chill? Yeah, no doubt
This that rolling down the window on the flight feel…NEXT!
