Don Trip - Allen Iverson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you come from nothing and turn it into a fortune
The people around you all want their portion
A couple Mercedes, a couple of Porsches
The bitches are shiesty so a couple abortions
The media picking at you they all like vultures
And you on the pedestal, you gotta stay focused
Every move you make, it represents your culture
You wanna be normal, but that life's over
Now you on TV, magazines and posters
Your represent gangstas, you represent soldiers
And they can't stand you, why cause you not Oprah
And you got tattoos, your hair corn rolled up
And they like "oh my" and you like "so what"
The world is cool but one thing it showed us
[Verse 2]
In search of fame, at sanity's cost
You a household name, but all privacy lost
You make a mistake, they hang you up on a cross
All of a sudden they forgot who you are
They forgot about all the times you hustled and fall
Please show me a king thats never suffered a loss
Or show me a man that never suffered a scar
And I'll show you a man thats never given his all
I'll show you man thats never given his heart
From becoming a monster, it's all ya fault
You can't be a gentleman when you swimming with sharks
Shit, when you wanna be Superman, who gonna be Clarke Kent
Pour out my heart until I wind up heartless
Tryna become a father without having a father
They here when you ride then celebrate when you fall
But throughout it all, I just ball

Don Trip Allen Iverson Comments
@2:24 r.i.p. Kobe
The lyrics are so simple but resonate so deeply. Trip is a genius for connecting the dots here.
I use to listen to this before every high school basketball game at my school in the locker room. 5 minutes before we hit the court. I told my brothers we going to war so get ready to have each others back and let's get this Win!! Long story short we were state camps my senior year
Why tf this video don’t have a million views smh that’s crazy
Nigga had no focus..missed 70 practices in one season

THE ANSWER💯💯💯💯
Today is the anniversary of the PRACTICE statement
Thats some real talented shit for both men! I like that
Still rockin this 2019 !
Stay focused , every move you make it represents your culture
Today is the anniversary of "Practice"
Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it
I love AI
WE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE MAN!!
Try becoming a father without having a father man that’s deep
I played in elementary
No one ever connected that after Iverson shook Jordan as a rookie Phil Jackson started taking shots at Iverson. It just shows that people will go along with whoever looks the part instead of who is the better player.
Damn allen why didnt you go to the grizz??
Does anyone know how I can contact Don Trip? This song is so goddamn good I want to write him a letter. First verse is great but second verse is transcendent. "Can't be a gentleman when you swimming with sharks, shit, when you can be superman who wanna be Clark Kent? Pull out my heart until I wind up heartless..." holy smokes my dudes this song is something else
I feel the same way man. It keeps me humble making $400 a week barely being able to pay rent. The underdog will rise one day soon.
And when I rise, I'm doing it for everybody in the same situation as me. From the dope game to the 9 to 5 grind.
Don trip one of the most slept on rappers ever, sad to see he never blew up. I discovered him from xxl freshman list years ago and was excited to see him come up. People just didn't recognize his talent and show him the love he deserved.
Cleverly constructed by Don Trip. While his lyrics cover AI’s rise, AI’s sound bites go from the end of his career to his practice comments (arguably at the height of his career). Just my take on it thought.
Shout out to a i for always being a real one! They tried to change him.....and whats crazy they did him dirty for missing a few practices or what now..but now days the coaches just say their players injured .save em for playoff time....sports within itself is like a chess game...think ahead..
Don trip one of the best of his generation rs lito to
2018 trip is the GOAT
Bubba Chuck is the GOAT
This song goes so hard, it's the perfect tribute and song for Allen Iverson
This is deep .
"Fuck practice, this shit just happens, know ya'll can't stand it..." White Iverson.
pink Rockstar
AI is a top 5 all time player. He shook Kobe out the frame!
Best PG EAT EAT
I'm from Philly and have always been an AI fan, but he contradicts himself at the end. He says he knows practice is important and that he isnt shoving it aside..then goes and says "we talkin about practice" as if its not important
Mike Inglese u gots to watch the whole entire video...what he said was "we talkin bout practice and I just lost a best friend"....his best friend died a couple days before the interview.....the cut the interview short
Mike Inglese bruh he had jus lossed the finals last year and lost his bestfriend ta a grusome death n they gettn on em bout practice is wat he was sayn
Mike Inglese practice is important yes but at the time there were far more important things to talk about than practice.. like his friends death and stuff about the games
couldn't have had a better person narrate it!! good shit fam
Highly Favored I'm moving to Houston cover art💪💯
Juiceman
I play this song damn near weekly, monthly I'm certain of. Classic
don trip monsta foreal
I hope AI got to hear this track.
😘😘😘😘😘😗😗😚😙🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌☺☺☺☺😂😂
Stick to hooping
wtf? lol trip went hard. you know this isnt ai right?
I love this song, great mix
I wonder if Iverson gets down to this.
#STEPBRO3OTW
His statements on practice was taken out of context. Iverson missed practice because his best friend was murdered earlier in the week. The NBA disclosed this information to the media as a "Tragedy" on ESPN. Iverson beleived the questioning by the media about missing practice was in poor taste. Thumbs up, If you'd attend your friends funeral and think about "Practice" later.
Apesinc Brand true
i hate when people take it out of context it pisses me the fuck off
directedbyape it was obviously taken out of context but seriously, it wasnt because he was mourning. If it was, he would have put in for "time off". He didnt miss meetings between his friends death n practices. So he shouldnt have missed practices.
AI will ALWAYS be goat to me. I stopped watching basketball all together after he left Philly. Him n the professor were the reason i picked up a ball in the firdt place. Still wishing him the best to this day
directedbyape Thank you
I wonder if AI heard this track.
WE TALKING ABOUT PRACTISE?
blows my mind how this song has 337k views and that "white Iverson" track is at 42M..... no shade but this draws a better detailed line bridging iversons life with hip hop............
Cause he stayed truth to himself and underground for life. He want sellout that why he don't get that many views
696M now
DLEW1987 boy hush white Iverson is wayyyy better and catchy
@LeLee 504 I believe he is talking about the lyrics
@LeLee 504 no, no it's not that's just your opinion
talking about the illuminati
Him curry and kobe are the best ever
+Kevin Battaion not LeBron
stop. replace curry w mj. curry is at the start of his peak
+Tyler Robert.
Camden Matthews Curry is a tremendous shooter. If I had to rate his skills:
Deep: A+
Mid-Range: A-
Paint: C-
Driving/Layup: B+
Passing: B
Defense: C-
Handles: A-
He will score a lot of points. He will hit a high percentage. And he will flirt with double doubles with his points and assists eventually, but his on ball defensive skills won't get him into the greatest of all time discussion.
Honestly steve francis from rockets and him were the pg back in day
this song is perfect
Still bumping this
13 years ago today
14 today
@Denzel--I agree 100%....still my favorite player. People talk about his $, but on the court he wasssss $
@Swaggy Mamba

@Aaron Mamitag-Quimson they dont know real rap then
Aaron Mamitag-Quimson I'm weak 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The Sixers have not won 50 games in a season since trading Iverson to the Denver Nuggets. Lebron James said I.A. was the best pound for pound player to walk the earth ever. I hate lebron, but he is right.
Here will never be a player like him... he's the best pound for pound player of all time. And definitely the best 6"0 ft guard to ever play. Its sad to watch that cuz he never ever had any help at Philly that's y he never got a ship he never had anyone to help him.. he's a 1st ballot hall of famer for sure and if anyone argues that they don't know the game. #A.I. ALL DAY
He representin where I'm from. AI All day
That's because he's prolly 12 years old, and didnt grow up in the best 2 decades of teh NBA, the 80's and 90's!
You're young! Centers: Shaq vs The Dream PF
A.I would tourch Lebron
Days NtheSouf I disagree. A.I. could beat him in a game of HORSE, the 3 PT contest, and maybe in a handle competition, but on the court 1 V 1 LeBron James may just be the best defensive player of the era. Not by stats, but by the ability to literally play against any offensive player at any position on rotation. A.I. can say many things and his legacy speaks for him, but NO ONE can defend like LeBron James. That build (less than 6 percent body fat) and height allow him to stick to the point or go up and beat down on a center dunking. Even worse he is a complete disciple of the game and he will study each opponent on a team because he knows he will be rotating to cover off the screen or double team. And the handle game is absolutely filthy now, imagine trying to defend a player in this day and age compared to 10 years ago and now throw in the scientific advancement and tactical additions to play calling, elaborate screens, and all kinds of nonsense to get players mismatched on rotation or wide open shot and add in the headache of everyone being able to shoot the 3...defense is a headache now.
Justin Frazier lol the irony of this comment, while watching the finals.. one thing Lebron has over AI? Lebron mastered the copout/flop.. AI played when the game was the game, there wasn't a bunch of whining and crying, bullshit foul calls, and a bunch of sensitive babies that flop around if a finger touched their jersey.
Different era, different players, different game..
You put Lebron against those teams at that time!? He would get bullied by Mason, Oakley, Rodman, etc.. Lebron is great for THIS era, but let's not put on the rose tinted glasses.. it would be a fight 1 v 1
Allen Iverson was a spectacular defensive player.. plus he's shorter and lower to the ground which will make it hard for Lebron, plus Iverson doesn't shy away from aggression..
@Justin Frazier MJ is a muuuch better defender than LBJ. LeBron never won DPOY. He doesn't consistently make key defensive plays. That's why MJ will always be the GOAT
D.rose took the torch since 08.. Never b another Iverson tho
A.I. The player on the court, warrior, simply BEST LITTLE MAN EVER! We all should judge the player not the man off the court because all of us have our faults too.
7fifty7
Sums it up for me.
This makes me wanna cry man......I misss this dude so much. He made me fall in love with the NBA. I still love the game, but that love will never be the same as it was when I use to watch his games. Damn.....
we talkin bout practice man
If your being rude then my reply is you sure do have a lot of time on you hand buddy but if your not cool list , i personally think the only player that could compete in this era do to how far bball has come so far athletic and skill wise MJ
ummmm.... sf/ king james vs scottie pippen vs dr julius erving vs george "iceman" gervin vs kevin durant, pf/ the the big fundamental (duncan) vs the big ticket (KG) vs the mailman (karl malone) vs moses malone vs kevin mchale vs sir charles barkley, c/ shaq diesel vs the big dipper (wilt chamberlain) vs hakeem "the dream" olajuwon vs kareem abul jabbar vs patrick ewing. your list is incomplete...
Pg:Iverson vs D rose / Sg:Jordan vs Kobe / Sf: Lebron vs Lebron / Pf:No one cares / C: No one cares
True shit you are a real nigga for saying that cuz most people don't even know who A.I is and others say he sucks because he has no rings. That's silly.
Definitely should be on 2K14.
Grant was great rebounder/defender. Who'd AI have Mutombo, McKie, & Eric snow.
AI changed society & culture of basketball. If he had half the help Jordan had, Wed be callin him GOAT. Jordan had role players: Pippen= best defender,Rodman=rebounding/defense, Kukoc was a good shooter. Ker,Armstrong, Paxton were very good 3 pt shooters, Kukoc was good passer/shooter
Allen break your ankles iverson
We talkin bout practice
Happy 38th Birthday... to THE ANSWER!!!
I know there's not an I in team, but theres and A and an I in Amazing... A.I. One of The Best
When you can be superman who wanna be Clark kent?
Yeah I would also like to see him as a Sixer once again, but only coming off the bench as a backup PG and mentor to Holiday, who has bright future ahead. And fans have to realize that also, that he can't do things that he used to, but in my opinion he would be a great backup PG like Kidd was for Knicks this year.
Yeah, AI was that good.
from Mike Tyson to Allen Iversion this man knows how to make tributes
If Allen Iverson can cross Michael Jordan then he can cross Lebron James!
i love this song
Shaq and iverson should make a song
We can say he had Iguodala but that was later on in his tenure. Iguodala is athletic, but he isn't a franchise player, in my mind. The Sixers should bring A.I. back. Let him play along side Holiday. He can teach him things. And make the Sixers a better team. What can go wrong?! I guarentee nobody will be pissed on the Sixers about a little decrease in playing time to make their team better. I'm a huge Sixers fan and I just want to go back to those times when A.I. was in the league.
AI put the Sixers on his back and carried them single handedly for 10 fucking years. It wasn't like Jordan who had Pippen, or Kobe when he had Shaq and then later pau, mixed with d fisher, Bynum, Odom, and others. Allen Iverson was a one man team with role players. He never had anyone he could really rely on. If he didn't score enough points, dropping high 20s, 30s and hell even 40s, his team would lose. All that responsibility and only being 6'0 165lbs. That's why A.I. is one of the bests ever.
yeah but he did not practice like that so you know
[CHUUCH]
