[Intro]
This is Los Angeles

[Verse 1]
I was just a kid when I seen Kobe play
Back in 96 I was blown away
Crowded with a jersey, it was number 8
It's heavy on my heart but I don't show the pain
I remember you were sitting on that bench, next to Phil Jackson you the coldest ever since
If I had to pick Jordan or Kobe, you know what it is, we reppin' LA homie
Born in Philly but you one of us
The whole city knew who the Black Mamba was
The Year 2000 we got the first parade
We was happy, we forgot about the murder rate
Everybody in the streets with a Laker flag
We cherished every moment that you played with Shaq
2001 NBA FInals, you did it once again, defeated the rivals

[Chorus]
Mobbin with my 24 jersey, mobbin with my number 8 jersey, yeah
Mobbin with my 24 jersey, mobbin with my number 8 jersey, yeah
Light it up, uh, yeah, Light it up for Kobe Bryant, yeah
Light it up, yeah, Light it up for Kobe Bryant, yeah

[Verse 2]
Back when I couldn't afford Laker seats
2002 it was a three peat
Kobe gave us all the love the streets need
Always made it happen with them big 3s
When Shaq left, we never doubted you
We was by your side, still throwin up the W
It didn't matter if we took a loss
You made it happen once you linked up with Pau Gasol
61 points, can't nobody see you
Purple and the Gold, yeah, smashin' every season
All we ever wanted was an autograph
So legendary, he could do it on a Dodger cap
Kobe, you'll forever be a role model
Tonight we drinkin' up the whole bottle
I hope we get to see you again
It'll never be the same without you in the gym
[Chorus]
Mobbin with my 24 jersey, mobbin with my number 8 jersey, yeah
Mobbin with my 24 jersey, mobbin with my number 8 jersey, yeah
Light it up, uh, yeah, Light it up for Kobe Bryant, yeah
Light it up, yeah, Light it up for Kobe Bryant, yeah
