I'm Outstanding

I was born three six seven eighteen with [unverified] on the wisdom
Hail to the moon, just like Kunta Kinte
That means Im gifted from the get-go
Moms you never let go, mad thanks for raising me right, bro
You gave me confidence to stop the nonsense
Didnt live in Bel Air like the Fresh Prince
Times are hard, times are rough
Didnt have Toys R Us toys, but I had enough love
Plus the guidance from above
To go to the park, sweatin push and shove
Maybe then for a dunk like you told me
Then there were a few times when dad had to scold me
Prayed for my safety, I know how you was feeling
Didnt want me wheeling and get to drug dealing
Remember when you asked me this one day
Who I wanna be like, I said, Dr J
Then you said, good, now you gotta go
Take the damn ball and slam it through the hole
Mom cracked a smile, daddy gave a frown
I said to myself, I cant let them down
So make way, Im coming in for a landing
And nothings gonna stop me from being outstanding
Im outstanding
Now lets skip to the time when I was fifteen
Shaq is in the house, no, Shaq is on the scene
Now my names in papers, girls caught the vapors
Kids look up to me like a skyscraper
Now, a role model, I mean a role figure
Then I ask myself, can I get any bigger?
My dream is coming through, but coming through slowly
Then I remember what mom and dad told me
Remember this, son, do all the runs
Shoot your gift like a gun and never forget where you come from
Youre young, gifted and Black
If they cant say, Shaquille ONeal then make em scream, ‽Shaq”
Like the fam do, in the stands who
When I freak the funk on a dunk they, ahh ooh
From high school to college, they gave me enough knowledge
Make that gift and now its time for me to fulfill my dream
To be in the [unverified] like Dakeem
Ill make the backboards shatter
Fans chit-chatter
Even make the other [unverified] get madder
Thats me, who can it be?
The master of disaster, seven foot three
Brother, aint no other in the nation
Im born from my mother but Im Gods creation
Im outstanding
Im outstanding
Cause now Im outstanding, wave your hands and pump your fist
When Im on the court you know its strictly swish
Cause theres some things that I gotta do
Tape up the ankle, pump up my Shaq-shoe
And now its time to take care of business
To run up the court with Nick and Dennis
Scott, but I wont stop, gotta keep striving until I reach the top
Gonna take a peek over the mountain, I flow like a fountain
Peace, I gotta go and Im out and
But before I go, wave your hands
Peace to all my family, friends and fam
Im outstanding
