VitaminWater has gathered some of the hottest mainstream and underground Emcees together to make their pitch for LeBron James to come to their city.
You can listen to all the tracks here.
Here are some of the lyrics:
“I Am The Man”:
Come to the city where the ball drops out at on New Year’s
You win one chip, it’s like you won two here
You love playing in the Garden, you run through there
Just picture LeBron in the orange and blue gear
Champion soon to be bigger exposure
More opportunities, that’s between you and me
Nightlife, bright lights, fans on the sidelines, Spike-like, it could be a blowout or a tight night
No more mister nice guy, billboards life-size
Jersey sales through the roof, sneaker sales likewise
–Jadakiss (New York, Yonkers)
Tell Cleveland you’re never coming back
They city ain’t bright enough, keep they contract
I can see you in New York doing your thing
With Stoudemire or Bosh we gonn’ get you that ring
Yeah we got money to play with
Just spoke to Obama, he said the Knicks is who you should play with
New York, New York the new home of LeBron James
Spike Lee and Jay-Z at all home games
Chris Lighty, P. Diddy, Fifty, we all there
Showin’ you mad love, you woulda thought you was born here
If I ain’t convinced you to come to New York Yet
It’s all good, go sign with the Brooklyn Nets.
— Uncle Murda (New York, Brooklyn)
… You need a ring on your finger? Come to Chicago, we’ll trade Deng, every day, same thing, wake up a King, get your name on Sears Tower. It’s Mike, money ain’t a thing for a super power
Cleveland just ain’t it, Miami got a nice beach, N.Y. is filthy, United Center box seats, this is where champs get made, if you the King come play, just no more rings for L.A., nah no more rings for L.A. Just no more rings for L.A.
— Mikey Rocks of The Cool Kids (Chicago)
Welcome to the home of Versace, keys and mahi mahi, Dan Marino calls it the city of Pat Riley
Scarface dreams and queens from all islands, we got Maybachs and seats is recliners
I think it’s the city, you should call it your home, boy it’s champions here, but you king of the throne Just know that money long, and you can take your time, just put the spotlight on as you make up your mind
— Brisco (Miami)
