Got Money, Got Cribs, Got Whips: Listen to LeBron James freestyle rap over a Jay Z track

It’s April Fool’s Day, so we’re a little apprehensive about whack shit, but this fresh clip of NBA star LeBron James rapping is just too good.

The Miami Heat baller hooked up with childhood friend and rapper Sian Cotton in a recording studio in Ohio last summer and threw down an original verse over Jay Z’s “FuckwithmeyouknowIgotit.” He boasts about his NBA championship rings, fancy watches, and exquisite shit like that. Also he tells us ya gotta get that Robert Dinero!

Oof.

According to TMZ:

During the song, which LeBron and Cotton titled, “Kingdom” — James raps about docking his yacht off the coast of France, having “money, cribs and whips” … and most importantly owning TWO NBA CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS!

We spoke to Cotton who tells us the two never really planned to record the song — it was a spur of the moment decision made during a gym session. “We were working out together and LeBron said ‘let’s get in the booth.’ I said ‘I’m going tonight’, so he came to the studio.”

Here’s the track…

Here are the lyrics, courtesy of our BFFs at TMZ:

[LBJ Hook:]
Ugh, roll, roll with us, cause you we got it, (we got it, we got it)
roll with us, cause you know we got it, (we got it, we got it)
it’s a damn shame that you ever doubted, (doubted, doubted)
come roll with us cause you know we got it (we got it, we got it)
roll with us cause you know we got it (we got it, we got it)
roll with us cause you know we got it (we got it, we got it)
it’s a damn shame that you ever doubted, (doubted, doubted)
it’s a damn shame that you ever doubted, (doubted, doubted)

[LBJ Verse:]
I just docked us off of France killa
Shots so bright I got a tan killa
Try to catch up it’s a waste of time (waste of time, waste of time)
I grind you hard let you take mine (never, never)
AP watch drop next month (month, month)
60 racks on ya bitch to stunt (stunt, stunt)
Fall back before you fall out
My team eating, the rest of y’all drought (drought, drought)
Say what you want about the king,
Got money, got cribs, got whips, and oh yeaaa (bleeped) got 2 rings (2 rings, 2 rings)
Cribs sick, tall like, Costco’s,
Gotta keep getting that Robert, DeNiro, don’t fear you
I understand you can’t compete bro, but you see here, is royalty,
You can’t beat me, ya better join me, over at six feet, underneath (underneath, underneath)

Where my crown Shi (where my crown Shi, where my crown Shi)

[LBJ Hook:]
Cause you know we got it (got it, we got it)
Rolls with us cause you we got it (you know we got it, you know we got it)
Come roll with us cause you know we got it (you know we got it, you know we got it)
It’s a damn shame that you ever doubted
It’s a damn shame that you ever doubted
